Every day the news is like “Trump has canceled the Federal program that prevents orphans from being shot to death by chainguns, it cost $20,000 a year and saves five orphans a day” and I’m like “oh that doesn’t sound good at all”

This should be an Onion headline but it's not: "The Trump administration ended federal participation in Safe to Sleep. It's a 30-year campaign to prevent babies from dying in their sleep from sudden infant death syndrome."
Then the New York Times headline is "Trump Flexes Mightily Over Potential Welfare Waste" and then they interveiw and center the feelings of a bunch of rural Texas dipshits about it
I heard on Facebook that that program had subpar financial audits during proceedings led by Congressman Nazgul (R-Mordor). It's possible there were timesheet irregularities by a staffer earning $16/hr.
Flint does have clean water and replaced its lead pipes years ago, please stop using this as a talking point. People there have been through enough, they don’t need folks talking about how their town as an unlivable Hellhole to look smart or whatever online
dude i work with waved off the fda shit with "look how fat everyone is, so who cares?"
and im like hey man you are right theres way too many fat people lets let the corporate schmucks responsible for that have even more power in our food supply
Luckily plenty of idiots will drown you in semantics about 'chainguns' and 'orphans' because they want to act like they're reasonable arbiters while feeding people into furnaces
The way Elon & co were using a bunch of 19 year old syciphant dipshits to make their "efficiency" judgments reminds me of Paul Bremer and the early Iraq War. Being too incompetent to sustain operations was built-in as the desired outcome.
It's like your mom refuses to buy you food, instead brings garbage bags into the house every day, and while doing so brags "look how much money we saved! I'll be able to buy that Gucci handbag in no time!"
Saw the other day my local Zoo (St Louis, arguably the best Zoo in the US) is going to experience a half million dollar budget shortfall thanks to Trump pulling government funding.
And then DOGE posts about it and is like “WE JUST CUT A WOKE PROGRAM THAT SPENT $200,000(they added a zero) ON ILLEGAL CRIMINALS(children)” and they get thousands of likes on the other app.
