- Comment on RFK Jr. to slash 10,000 jobs from Health and Human Services Department 19 hours ago:
so much for trusting the food we eat, the water we drink, the air we breathe!
life expectancy was already backsliding, this will almost certainly reinforce the downward trend
- Comment on IRS Predicts DOGE Lost Half a Trillion Dollars for the USA 5 days ago:
yeah! with penalty fees and interest! and make him do it every year, again and again, forever. we could have it be due before April 15 or smthg.
while we’re at it, make all his billionaire pals pay too!
it’s a novel concept I just came up with… I’m calling it “taxes”. doubt it will ever catch on though, at least not in America.
- Comment on Musk Donates to G.O.P. Members of Congress Who Support Impeaching Judges 1 week ago:
they’re called bribes. why do people think there’s a difference between giving someone money personally and giving someone money through a “campaign fundraiser” designed to help them, personally?!
these oligarchs have to be stopped.
- Comment on We're the Department of Government Efficiency. 1 week ago:
not to mention the millions of man hours across every federal office wasted having meetings, writing memos, discussing communication and publicity changes, travel cancellations, etc… in other words, tens of millions of dollars in LOST PRODUCTIVITY… all because a petulant incompetent nazi oligarch thinks he knows better how the entire government should be run.
- Comment on Schumer, Facing Backlash for Not Forcing a Shutdown, Says He’ll Take ‘the Bullets’ 2 weeks ago:
yes, people living in states with Dem senators should pester their reps to push for more progressive leadership and get chuck out. there are a few people with integrity and drive to actually fight but they have been pushed aside by mainstream (out of touch) rich assholes like Schumer for too damn long
- Comment on Tesla for Sale: Buyer’s Remorse Sinks In for Elon Musk’s E.V.-Owning Critics 3 weeks ago:
this pissed me off also.
he’s a fucking Nazi. he promotes nazi ideology and comments on his xitter platform. he went on a goddamn apology tour at Auschwitz last year for gods sake!
why do so many people lack the courage to speak honestly? is worship of money and fear of losing a job so totalizing in our society that those paid to write words won’t call a goddamn duck a duck?! I feel like I’m going crazy sometimes.
- Comment on USAID workers are given 15 minutes to clear out their workspaces as the agency gets dismantled 4 weeks ago:
they’re shutting down offices and programs in order to begin selling off the real estate. get ready to see anything that’s not bolted down auctioned off to the highest bidders. this the looting of America, in overdrive.
- Comment on Vegas Hotel Rooms, MLB Stadium Rentals, & More: DOGE Finds Schools Misused Billions In COVID Funds 4 weeks ago:
the DOGE claims, even if true, are a tiny fraction of the fraud perpetrated by PPP loan recipients (businesses).
taxpayers did get ripped off - by corporations and their owners - using money that should have gone to household instead.
Biggest fraud in a generation: The looting of the Covid relief plan known as PPP
"[PPP recipients] … couldn’t resist purchasing luxury automobiles. Also mansions, private jet flights and swanky vacations.
… The program authorized banks and other financial institutions to make government-backed loans to businesses, loans that were to be forgiven if the companies spent the money on business expenses. Nearly 10 million such loans have already been forgiven. Many of the loans-turned-grants were for millions of dollars, public records show.
Experts say millions of borrowers inflated their numbers of employees or created companies out of whole cloth.
the takeaway here is that when government bailouts happen, the money should be given directly to US citizens/taxpayers who will actually use it on local commerce and transactions that stimulate domestic economic activity.
- Comment on Senate Republican leader defends Musk’s efforts as a ‘scrub’ of federal government 4 weeks ago:
congratulations! 🎉 you showed them all! you’re definitely not bitter about it are you?
such a shame your kids and past friends won’t talk to you anymore since you became obsessed with child molesters, transgenderism, and defunding children’s lunch programs. don’t sweat it… at least you owned the libs!
- Comment on Request to mod c/conservative 4 weeks ago:
agreed. extremely valid points being made. a community purpose should be largely a decision of the community at large, based on participation and engagement. it’s clear there is a substantially higher degree of rich conversations happening on so called meme posts than in “ideological conservative” posts which simply parrot right wing media headlines (and offer very little to discuss or engage ideas).
- Comment on The Devil's Panties doesn't miss 4 weeks ago:
keep going!
- Comment on Trump and Musk aren’t the first to make deep cuts. Clinton-era Reinventing Government saved billions 4 weeks ago:
you’re not American either, you’re a sock puppet for oligarchs.
