There is obviously something to be said for cutting out waste. There is also something to be said for cutting and slashing just because you can without any thought to the consequences. Cutting nuclear reactor employees and bird flu researchers  may fall into the latter.

My cousin worked at Braidwood and gets farmed out to other power plants. If he got cut, I'm sure he'd rationalize it as "pain we need to go through". Then when he got sick and had no medicare, he'd say "everyone dies someday"

then again, he won't get cut because of the union, which is the one union in existence that makes sense unlike every other union which is basically enabling goldbricking

Not surprising that no one here is pointing out all the fucked up stuff that’s being uncovered but choosing only to focus on clerical errors. Just be honest, it isn’t that they’re making cuts, it is who is making cuts.

Like our resident “moderate.”

"He commented more than once that, 'You know, Hitler did some good things, too,'" Kelly recalled to The Times. Kelly said he would usually quash the conversation by saying "nothing (Hitler) did, you could argue, was good," but that Trump would occasionally bring up the topic again.

What's been "uncovered"?

The condoms being sent to a Gaza that happened to be a different "Gaza" in Africa? One would think driving down the birthrate over there would be a good thing all around for security stability, the environment, etc. but what do I know?

I figured that would be inferred by those who infer those types of things.

People work for the federal government.

Yes, let’s go back to the days before unions and rely on the integrity of billionaires in business negotiations.

I certainly do not mind shitcanning worthless bureaucrats, of which there are many, but there has to be rhyme and reason to it. This is not it.

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?

Custard loves that they are making his wet dreams come true, but also admits to not fully understanding what’s going on.

I wanted an audit of the federal government and spending to be reigned in. Why wouldn’t we? We are on an entirely unsustainable path. There are a lot of people out there that don’t want that to happen and will stop at nothing to prevent it. There are billions and billions of motivations for people to lie and sabotage and cherry pick any of the mishaps that are bound to happen in an initiative of this scope. Difficult cuts will be made. Sucks, but it’s reality.


You were never going to give this a fair shot, and you live in the left echo chamber of people who weren’t going to give it a fair shot, and who are disproportionately represented in federal government jobs to begin with. So naturally you’re getting the confirmation of your bias that you crave and running with it.

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.
