It's impossible to turn a profit providing broad health insurance to the elderly. That's why Medicare happened in the first place.
Health insurance for someone over 70 is like selling a homeowners insurance policy to someone as the tornado hits their house. The loss is inevitable.

We're a long way from the days when the super wealthy wanted to have enduring positive perception of their legacies.

Oh the national labs are going to get gutted. That's also in Project 2025.

And how much of the source data for medical AI is obtained without consent? Big pharma isn't giving away their data to AI developers for free.
Why do LLMs expect publishers to?

If he is breaking laws, he's breaking federal laws. Federal law enforcement answers to the Secretary of Justice, who answers to the president.

In 2001, Congress voted 98-0 and 420-1 to give the president *unlimited authority* to deploy US troops *anywhere in the world* to combat "terrorism".
It's been used over 40 times by Presidents as a blank check to fight in whatever war they feel like that day.
This is a long time coming.

Voted for congressmen who, since the 1930s, have repeatedly turned over their authority to the president because it was politically convenient and popular.
You can try to excuse The People for one election, but not 100+ years of elections. Americans *chose* to create the Imperial Presidency.

Project 2025 was written by very smart people who knew exactly what powers the executive has and can get away with. There's no way to stop this part of it.
comment in response to
post
There is no "solution". 70+ years of successive congresses and administrations have turned over all authority of the executive to the President and neutered the legislature's oversight powers.
This is what Americans have been voting for going back decades.

Bad at math, I see. There are 200,000 federal workers who make under 50k.
Therefore your claim that the Treasury HR department has more people in it than that number is laughably absurd.
But you knew that, blue blood.
comment in response to
post
Oh, and the entire department of the Treasury is only 100k. So you're not even an accurate cop.

10% is not an outlier.
Oh I get it, you're a cop.
comment in response to

Ah so the 200,000 federal workers making less than 50k a year are unworthy of your class sympathy.

If moderate economic hardship were enough to get people to stop supporting a dictator, international sanctions would work.
"Suffering for the cause is noble." You can already see them preparing the message on conservative social media.

Oh so apparently the thousands of welders, pipefitters, electricians, shipfitters, etc. working for the federal government aren't the working class to you?

When you push someone under a train to save yourself, it's not their job to make you feel better about it.

It's insane they think 10% would take that offer when more than half the govt is on zero telework already.
comment in response to
post
Considering most of the government isn't teleworking right now, I'm curious how they think they can get 10% to take the deal
comment in response to
post
It's not actually even 8 months of pay.
*You still have to work the 8 months* you just get to do it from home.
Most of the govt isn't even teleworking right now, how do they think they'll get 10% to take that

I don't need to reframe, you have no real evidence. We simoly don't know the numbers of people donating or who they are. You just have people mouthing off on Twitter.

The dude got 100 letters out of 60+ million US leftists. That's a meaningless percentage.
It's also a pretty common societal phenomenon for high profile prisoners to get donations and stuff.
Famous serial killers get loads of things. Enough that some states have passed laws to restrict it.

Pretty much all of my conservative coworkers have the same "fucker got what was coming" attitude with respect to the United CEO. Stop trying to spread division.

How would it appear on PBS? They no longer have someone to pay for filming new episodes.
PBS would have to come up with the money to pay for new ones, and if they had such money, HBO wouldn't have outbid them in the first place.

My wife had to file a police report when her former employer stole her identity.
A receptionist making minimum wage could do the job. Instead a 300 lb desk jockey who gets to retire at 55 on taxpayer dollars had to do it.
They aren't using the money we're already giving them.

I don't know how people can watch uniformed, trained, armed, and fully pensioned police officers directing cars around a tree cutting team on the side of the road and think "give the police less money" is an unreasonable idea.
