Only 142 million US citizens died since 1899? Seems like that should be higher. Thank god Musk and Trump are getting to the bottom of this.

Yes, it very much is an excuse.

Covid dummy.

No sane person wants Trump as a dictator. Yes, I know some of you wouldn't mind it. You are not sane people. But the quote has no context, so before you can start going off on Trump being a dictator, you must first show that he intends to be a dictator. He's being influenced by Musk. I've studied Musk to an extent. Like many effective founders, he doesn't let useless bureaucracy and useless process stand in the way of his goals. It's the "fail fast" mentality that everyone says they support, but then when it comes time to fail fast, they balk at taking risks. In fact, that's why SpaceX was able to do what they do. Boeing and other government contractors follow every stupid process the government says to. SpaceX was like, "nah, that's stupid. We're not doing that," and it saved them billions in development and years in schedule. There is good and bad to fail fast. The good is that you can iterate quickly to find solutions and fix things. The bad is that unless you have good people involved, fail fast becomes fail always and in catastrophic ways. For the record, we don't have good people involved in government. The bureaucracy and process is there to help ensure checks and balances, and also to avoid large mistakes. However, like most bureaucracy and process, eventually people forget the point of the process is to help achieve a goal in some efficient, repeatable, and robust way. That sounds stupid, right? Like what does that even mean - people forget the point of the process? Well people who have no vision (which is most people) and people who don't understand the big picture (which is most people) and people who can't think critically (which is most people) will fall into the trap of treating the bureaucracy and process like it's the job, and they won't treat it for what it is... a means to achieve some goal. We are currently at that point. So the point is this We need the bureaucracy and process because our worst and dumbest are executing policy. However, for this situation where Musk is accessing data, it can be assumed his team is highly capable. Therfore, let them keep doing what they are doing. Musk is only passing through, so policy recommendations from his team must be filtered through a lens of having the dumbest people in the country executing the plans. And, yes, the office of the president should not be making sweeping changes without the healthy observance of checks and balances. This includes involving lawmakers and courts where necessary.

Strictly speaking, every person who has access to the data is an insider threat. Literally, by definition. People are the biggest security risks. I'm sure though that the person's point is these people aren't properly vetted, but I'd bet the clearances most of these guys have require polygraphs, so I imagine they're more vetted than most. But, to your point, worrying about security isn't the actual point. Broadcasting the scary sounding term "insider threat" and attaching it to the doge team is obviously the goal.

finviz.com is decent

You sure as sh¡t are finding every opportunity to cry about the people trying to find the waste.

What if DOGE finds so much waste that we end up cutting the deficit which results in the value of the dollar going up which means Trump came institute any tariffs he wants and the dollar value will offset the big scary price increases? They won't find that much waste and the grifters in congress won't allow it anyway, but dare to dream. Oh wait... China would just continue to manipulate their currency to gain the upper hand in trade again.

I'm sure you'll team will fight it every step of the way.

It's a metaphor. Cross is symbolism. That makes it at least as awesome as the super bowl halftime show.

If you're a red head and your parents get divorced, the move has got be to start dying your hair immediately, right? I mean you can't wait until one of your parents remarries because the step parent will always remember you have red hair and you'll catch those extra hard beatings, you know? Nah, you need to start dying that shìt right away, so they only ever know you as having that new color.

Nope. He definitely cares. Just like Brady wanted him to lose to try and hold off Mahomes stomping on his legacy.

So you want nothing to happen. Got it.

It won't be good or bad. It'll mean nothing to the vast majority of the world.

FAA can't oversee maintenance because DOGE fired everyone?

I was just thinking about all the people out there all typing on their phones about how the show had symbolism and then all nodding at each other like that makes the show deep or something. Notice how, they just say, "it had symbolism!" and then it kind of just stops? Like that's the bar for quality or something? "Ooh the rich guy didn't sit down and call everyone watching commercialized sheep in an oppressive country explicitly. That must mean it's good!"

I said it was wentz, didn't I. And I bet the Chiefs don't even make the playoffs with him at QB.

If we went to war with China right now over Taiwan, we wouldn't be able to produce high performance chips for at least 4 years. And that's if we could smuggle all of the Taiwanese engineers out to stand up a foundry onshore. We can't even do 3nm right now. That's a national defense problem. And the only reason China has any capability similar to ours is they steal all of our IP through skirting every trade rule in place. China is full of thieves and cheats. It's surprising they don't embrace capitalism more to be honest. They're focking built for it.

This is good. I'm glad you're worried. You represent the public in that you are a very first level thinker. If you're scared, that means the general public that doesn't think critically are also scared (whether red or blue team even though the red team won't admit it). I'll assume your counterparts in China are also concerned. That's what we want. We want people to be concerned about tariffs. As it happens, that's a necessary step in the right direction even though it makes you uncomfortable and the general public cannot tolerate discomfort.

This is the part that people don't get. Not getting taken advantage by our trade partners only gets harder the longer we let it happen. People seem to think if we do nothing, things will magically get better. Newsflash, China will be happy to just keep pushing every advantage they can. The left are the only dopes that don't realize this is a competition and not a hugfest.

It's symbolism guys. There were symbols!

Pats fans are taking a victory lap because Mahomes lost. That's dangerous. All they're doing is motivating him. I'm not completely sure getting blown out in a super bowl is as important as they keep saying. He had a crap o-line in both. That's not his fault This team would've been trash if a backup like Matt Cassell came replaced him. When Brady got replaced by Cassell, they went 11-5. If wentz, who is about on the same level as Cassell, replaced Mahomes, what are the Chiefs this year? 5-12? All the casuals want to dance on Mahomes' grave. Mahomes is already better than Brady. He just needs to play out the rest of his career before taking the GOAT throne.

The guy is just murdering them. Because he's such legend, what I would do is fake an injury concern and put him on IR. They're a super bowl contender and can't be going into the playoffs with him.

So the US is buying sorghum and giving it to other countries or something? First question wtf is sorghum?
