DOGE is just a rebranding of the US digital service. It has nothing to do with efficiency. It is a political monitoring station that installs political commissars into agencies that have traditionally been above politics.

Trump is doing what you do after you acquire a company. Crazy I know. But reality. The Dir of NIH should reach out to DOGE and offer to bring them in to remove inefficiencies.

There are always some and the Director know what they are.

DOGE gets a win. NIH gets back to work.

It would be helpful if someone leaked how to get around this. Gotta be someone in the military that might be aware of options. Some have spoken out about the situation in general.
@aoc.blky.social could possibly start digging for this info?

potions-n-flowers.bsky.social•92 days ago

Wow Mark Cuban is a billionaire who thinks the government should be run like a company? Im so unsurprised to find out that he's wrong

hpvpaul2.bsky.social•92 days ago

Just gonna put this out here:
Federal minimum wage $7.25
Most states minimum wage
~$17
Musk earnings per hour
$1,642,694.00

And they say that labor is the source of inflation?!?!

champagneprobs80.bsky.social•91 days ago

So you could hire 96,629 people to equal the amount of musk’s per hour rate. I never want to hear that $15/hr is gonna cause inflation again.

Mark Cuban is a great example of a billionaire that daylights as a good buy for branding but is still just as much a sociopath as any other capitalist billionaire.

disturbedartist.bsky.social•92 days ago

I'm just glad more people are seeing it. He's not for us, but he's tricked a lot into thinking he is

tenorspark.bsky.social•92 days ago

The level of billionaire is only achieved through human and environmental exploitation.

mattyfttv.bsky.social•92 days ago

Also they don't care about efficiency. They're trying to dismantle the administrative state

bhopeful.bsky.social•92 days ago

That’s just it - A) DOGE isn’t an official government agency and B) the federal government isn’t a business.

new2dm2.bsky.social•92 days ago

Us libs and our "details". They really get in the way of bigly plans.

conspicuoussnoop.bsky.social•92 days ago

Your asking the bourgeoisie class to hold each other accountable, you're smarter than that.

tenorspark.bsky.social•92 days ago

I agree. Way too much normalizing the historically-parallel steps to authoritarian fascism we're seeing. Now is the time to take each step very seriously. Pretending it's not happening only helps them and hurts everyone else.

yvonnehill.bsky.social•92 days ago

So bend the knee or we'll destroy you. Who could have seen this coming?

kuchikage.bsky.social•92 days ago

How does DOGE determine what’s inefficient in the NIH? What’s their criteria? Or is it just efficient if they make a tweet praising Trump as their god king?

thatnicelotionlady.bsky.social•92 days ago

Goddamn, he's determined to be a mediocre white dude.
It's so frustrating.

pearlmania500.bsky.social•92 days ago

When you get that third comma in your savings account you can no longer see anything but ways to defend your money.

thatnicelotionlady.bsky.social•92 days ago

And wait, a what account?

Sa-vings? What's that?

You mean the $5 in the account that never moves cuz I can never afford to put anything else in it since it's opening?

Is that the one?

thatnicelotionlady.bsky.social•92 days ago

It's a crying shame

Cuban is a billionaire trying to pose as one of us.

leeleeleelee.bsky.social•92 days ago

Surely freezing the review committees for the world’s largest funding of cancer research will lower grocery prices, right?

thejollygreen.bsky.social•92 days ago

Doge is pronounced doggy, because it’s tRumps little pet. Gotta keep the doggy busy.

unluckywednesday.bsky.social•92 days ago

Mark Cuban thinks he’s helping but if really wanted to help he’d stop trying to do PR for billionaires.

BILLIONAIRES DONT CARE ABOUT US

nfblvrgsbnt.bsky.social•92 days ago

I really think that even as a billionaire, and a Republican, he probably trying to understand what’s happening too. He is asking open questions for discussion that should be asked. There Democratic Party is having an identity crisis and I think he’s trying to prove a point.

antisocial-capital.bsky.social•91 days ago

Yeah I'm not thinking pandering is going to offer many real solutions.

ashleyaurorax3.bsky.social•92 days ago

I unfollowed him the moment he shared a bro podcast of them with Andrew Schulz. Thought he was a good one but now seems like all these CEOs are pledges to the world .

johnlockesghost.bsky.social•92 days ago

Doge is the Stasi of East Germany.

xlexthompsonx.bsky.social•92 days ago

Keep speaking truth to power!

janaejean.bsky.social•92 days ago

Cuban is a billionaire. He can stop pretending he’s not on their side

astridnity.bsky.social•92 days ago

He’s just trying not to get luigied 🫠

fk-nzs.bsky.social•92 days ago

He did it with Andrew Schulz and his dumb fucking podcast 🤣 bro is showing who he really is

phantasyiv.bsky.social•92 days ago

The whole selling point of the organization is to gut federal agencies when Trump tired of them

bundtkake.bsky.social•92 days ago

DELCO from the top rope!!!

yupthisisandy.bsky.social•92 days ago

God I fucking hate that that dweeb probably laughs every time people have to say DOGE when talking about the government

baldwerewolf.bsky.social•92 days ago

I’ve been referring to it as the Government Efficiency Department, or GED for short.

just-coffee.bsky.social•92 days ago

Sounds like a protection racket

henry-cooldown.bsky.social•92 days ago

Every time I see that there is a part of our government named after a decade old meme I die a little inside.

emilyusedtodance.bsky.social•92 days ago

Branding is a huge part of their success. Beyond time for it to be the topic of conversation

staticpuls.bsky.social•92 days ago

Business need to trim the redundancies, but gov should have redundancies, things could be improved but using the analogy that gov should run like a company is flawed

jonrademacher.bsky.social•92 days ago

Trump is doing to the USA what is referred to in business as a "hostile takeover"

riotmom.bsky.social•92 days ago

Don’t companies do that so they can dismantle the newly acquired company to sell it for parts and then declare bankruptcy?

amo387.bsky.social•92 days ago

Crazy thought, but maybe most governments aren't normally run like a business for a reason...

millennialeater.bsky.social•92 days ago

I'm increasingly suspicious of Mr. Cuban. Starting to smell like controlled opposition.

julesrocks64.bsky.social•91 days ago

Billionaires are why we are here. They bought the #CitizensUnited decision which sold our republic to the highest bidder. Instead of outrage we need a plan. Voting has been compromised by red states and their purge ballot/gerrymander campaign. 3.5 million votes were tossed. They set it all up.
