No, I'm not in the bug business. But I have worked for some very large multinational corporations in my day. Which makes me infinitely more familiar with big business and what works to increase productivity and what doesn't than somebody who spends his days in a classroom. 

But you don't have to have worked for multinational corporations to understand that incentives do more to increase productivity than does an hourly wage with no performance standards. 

That's just common sense.

It's a very pollyanna view you have. 

Incentives have a shelf life if anything. 

This will be like every other idea- less people to do more work. That never succeeds.

You have to understand that Mooney is a govt employee. Asa former govt employee in a few different fields I can assure you there are very little performance standards. Once you’re in you’re in. Good luck getting anyone out.

That explains why he doesn't understand incentives. You actually have to work to achieve them.

He saved us a few shillings, fukked up a bunch of government department and leaves behind a president whose bill increases spending and adds $3.8 trillion to the deficit.

Bye bye Adolf!

Nice to see the public get rid of this clown.  His loss in the Wisconsin judicial election was it.  The people rejected this weirdo.

He did a lot of damage in just 3 months but at least the bleeding has stopped.  One less ass hole to worry about.

So, at best he got to about 8% of his stated goal of saving $2 trillion, if his numbers are to be believed which they probably aren’t.  Edit: We’re even already past 8% of Trump’s term if people want to make that argument,  but you’d think the low-hanging fruit would have been easiest to find in the beginning.

Sounds like continuation of typical government efficiency

Any kind of doge savings has been thrown away with the latest budget bill, increasing deficits and raising the debt ceiling.

It was all a ruse and it will likely take years to find out when Elon really did, if we ever find out.

Even 8% is better than 0%.  I'll take it IF what you say is even true (very doubtful).

Didn't really save us anything,  he attacked the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which returned more money to US citizens than it's budget.  I'm sure it was just a coincidence that the CFPB had 300 complaints against Musk  and now they are in limbo and shuttered.  That's not even counting how much USAID paid back to us around the world on it's minuscule budget---not a surprise that Musk had to make up so many lies about what they do and how the money was spent to justify his actions.  And finally - he fires the inspector generals, who's job description is to go after govt. waste. 

Quote

• Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB): Consumers have submitted over 300 complaints about Elon Musk’s Tesla to the CFPB. 66 of these complaints were submitted in the last year. • Trump fired CFPB Director Rohit Chopra and installed Project 2025 architect Russ Vought as the bureau’s acting director. • CFPB’s Washington headquarters has been closed, and staff and contractors have been told that they cannot “perform any work tasks.” • Musk tweeted “Delete CFPB” less than a week after the agency finalized a rule that could put his planned collaboration with Visa to offer a real-time payments system on the platform into the agency’s crosshairs

Thats literally what DOGE is claiming, so that’s what it is at best.  But they’ve already been caught inflating their estimates previously.

https://www.doge.gov/savings

Looks like they’ve recently increased it from $160B to $175B.  That gets him up to 8.75%

It's amazing how much MAGAturds can't think for themselves and see the obvious. Instead, they applaud all the noise and chaos and label it winning.

This whole administration is such a shitshow, and outside of fewer illegal border crossings - which already were on the decline prior to Clownzo taking office - and the big deportation show, this asswipe has done nothing to make this country better. Quite the opposite. 

When the prices for food, cars, electronics, etc., go through the roof within a few months, let's see them try to whatabout, deflect and justify that.

His butt buddy Musk is on the way out. Putin hasn't even blinked and actually intensified strikes on Ukraine. Thousands have lost their jobs. Businesses with razor-thin profit margins are going belly up. Relations with our allies have soured. Free speech and our Constitution are in peril. Hatred toward certain aspects of our society is heating up.

And just when I can't begin to imagine it getting worse, it gets worse.

I pointed out yesterday that your posts more often than not are largely irrelevant questions or unsubtantiated comments with no supporting links, so your question post proves my point. 

The subject matter here is the Musk-Trump breakup, not Haiti. You're projecting when you accuse others of poor reading comprehension, because the fukking thread title says "Musk's exit from the Magaverse."

Who gives a rat's ass about Haiti voters?

Quote

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is estimated to have cost taxpayers $135 billion this fiscal year, despite claiming to have saved $160 billion, according to a report from the Partnership for Public Service. This cost is attributed to factors like re-hiring mistakenly fired workers, placing employees on paid leave, and lost productivity, according to the report. DOGE's actions have been criticized for potentially weakening the federal government and undermining revenue collection.
