History repeating itself.
Like, the Romans took over Britain. But they *razed Carthage to the ground and salted the earth where it stood.* We’re analogously on the Carthage plan. Will anyone stop them?
This material is sharper and more user-oriented than a lot of Big 5 consultant work I’ve seen.
This guide just knocked my socks off! I’ve been helping my newly-retired sister get her Medicare, Social Security, & secondary insurance set up. All of the .GOV sites were easy to use. Corporate websites 👎🏽
Thx
This was exactly the sort of outfit we dreaded seeing already in-house, because it meant we weren’t needed. They already had pros in-house.
DOGE just shitcanned a highly effective, highly professional, wildly less expensive version of what’s available in the private market.
