How much knowledge do you have about what’s actually going on? Who here really does? Do you think the various media outlets might have their own agendas to either prop up or tear down the actions of DOGE? Now that every tribe has their own special safe space news outlets to marinate in, how does one know they’re getting the full story?
I know that universities doing research on food, etc. are closing down those departments. Even some GOP members are getting nervous about the impact on their state schools. Semafor had a report today about US scientists applying in large numbers to some German research group (that, ironically enough, had been created to assist German scientists to emigrate to the US after the Nazis took over). We obviously made the decision to outsource R&D to universities after WWII. That's over. What is left to fill the void?
If the heads of agencies want to assess who is doing a good job and should be kept, fine. Allowing some tech bros to do it via an algorithm has its limits as we have seen. We have read about the "oops, we want you back" emails for certain positions.
You want to give up providing food for other countries who are too dumb, whatever, to grow shit themselves? Fine. But realize there will be consequences for US farmers and in allowing someone else, like Commie Chinese and Soviet Fucks, to fill the void. While it may not be an issue today or tomorrow, it will be a mess down the road that someone is going to have to clean up ala the upcoming sell out of the Ukrainians.
