Stupid idea here, out of desperation. Blue states offer a funding haven to researchers losing grants. Any discoveries made, we market and sell to red states at exorbitant prices. We could fund more research and take care of our own people with the profits. And yes I know research takes years.

Keep the ideas coming. At this rate we’ll need a shadow government to uphold our values and principles until the Orangeman clown show goes down in flames. It seems our best hope at the moment is that it implodes.

flatirons.bsky.social•2 days ago

So many people are so gullible. No sane, intelligent person ever thought this was about saving money or reducing waste.

rocketpunches.bsky.social•2 days ago

If only there was a bunch of easily collated information, data you might call it, about how this was going to turn out widely available before Elon even spoke the con into existence.

It’s all Musk. He is a criminal and should be arrested, assets seized, citizenship revoked and deported immediately. He is a domestic terrorist, corporate welfare queen and racist bastard. If you did Nazi this coming, you’re blind or deluded.

Jailed, not deported. Maybe Guantanamo as an enemy combatant

In case you do not remember, a bunch of activists, students, and people from all sectors of America Stopped the Vietnam War. Resistance is Possible. I was there.

Commit, Plan, Fight. Do not stop. Do not take your hands off the wheel. Keep driving.

DOGE is simply Musks money funnel to his spanky wet dream of SpaceX.
Musk is about Musk & doesn’t have the mental capacity to think about airy fairy ideals like the ‘greater good.
His idea of what the greater good is ‘what’s in it for Musk?’

Principled resignations are great, but try to walk out with something to seriously f- these guys over with other than stern words.

Wait, there were people involved in the DOGE sham who thought it was serious?

yumyumpuppies.bsky.social•2 days ago

No. They renamed an existing agency (the US Digital Service) to DOGE and hollowed it out. This was one of the original employees.

From where I sit DOGE looks like a Musk money and power grab - making sure that his incompetence and investigations never see the light of day.

Trump is old and easy to manipulate - senior abuse

elonmuskisadick.bsky.social•2 days ago

Data grab. The stuff he's cloning is invaluable.

The Naivety of SO many upper echelon civil servants is another issue.
It was CLEAR at the onset what the TRUMP/ELON mandate was.
NOW they are catching on???
🥴😵😵‍💫🤯

atomicvegan.bsky.social•2 days ago

There IS NO mandate. He barely won 31 percent of the US votes, and if there hadn’t been gerrymandering, suppression of votes and outright throwing out of ballots, Kamala would have won. What world are you living in?!?

not to give them too much credit, but this person was from the original gov agency that was hollowed out and converted to DOGE. she didn’t sign up for this, but surprised she lasted this long

eric314.bsky.social•1 day ago

DOGE bags are just firing civil servants so Elon Himler can insert his own employees to do their jobs. He wants to contract all government services to him. He wants all of your tax dollars going in his pocket. 1/4 of service for twice the cost.

Why are people resigning, make them drag you out

loubarr.bsky.social•2 days ago

Often it's a question of ethics, and refusing to be complicit any more. And nine of us have a right to ask more. This is not a street march where people sit limp when the cops start arrests

Their only good work coming is to arrest musk
And jail him

"Marshall wrote. “I am leaving by choice, no forks, no forced exits, just actively, sadly, walking away. This is not the mission I came to serve.”

Thanks for nothing I guess? Not even making them fire you. Very uninspired.

atomicvegan.bsky.social•2 days ago

She left because DOGE is committing fraud. Musk and his cronies have no legal business being there.

jmcrookston.bsky.social•2 days ago

I understand. I wonder why these senior people walk out instead of being difficult.

atomicvegan.bsky.social•2 days ago

My guess is she didn't want to engage in illegal conduct.

jmcrookston.bsky.social•2 days ago

Make them fire you then at least someone from a union might be able to launch a challenge.

If resign, that's it. No challenge possible.

atomicvegan.bsky.social•2 days ago

Normally I would agree, if this were a legitimate federal civil service position approved by Congress. But DOGE is not a legitimate government department, it's a bunch of coders and grifters.

michellefleurelle.bsky.social•2 days ago

She left on her own accord so they couldn’t dangle severance pay and make her sign an NDA 💪🏻

jmcrookston.bsky.social•2 days ago

I am always curious why they don't force a firing and get their union to back them up in grievance or court, whichever process governs.

One can't be forced to accept severance or sign an NDA so those can't be pressures to her (she left with no money for ex)

michellefleurelle.bsky.social•2 days ago

The red tape? The time it takes vs the passion for standing up for whats right? Integrity? These guys aren’t playing by the rules or the law. But the wheels of justice are slow so no match for a wrecking ball.

jmcrookston.bsky.social•2 days ago

I'm not suggesting she alone would stop the train but if each of these department heads just ups and resigns without any contest at all well ... Not much pushback going on 🤷

odocoileus.bsky.social•2 days ago

They'll make more in the private sector just as many of our civil servants can or could. It's not always about the money for some, for some it's pride knowing what they do matters. For some its saving the environment, others its finding cures to disease or the pride of putting on a ranger hat.

jmcrookston.bsky.social•2 days ago

No I'm being critical of simply quitting

eternalcatwar.bsky.social•2 days ago

shoulda locked a ton of shit on the way out

jmcrookston.bsky.social•2 days ago

👍 Slow walk everything. Forget things. Make them fire you. Challenge it if possible. And so on. These are the high-ups, not low down rank and file.

jmcrookston.bsky.social•2 days ago

Some of them are but it's surprising how many are just resigning immediately.

bryceinvegas.bsky.social•2 days ago

People resign because it controls the narrative. If they get fired Musk can respond by saying they are disgruntled bad employees. Reigning protects the criticism and presents it as principled

jmcrookston.bsky.social•2 days ago

Pros and cons to everything, certainly. I see the other way as more beneficial, personally, but I appreciate everyone's going to have a different calculus. What I posted is my view, that's all
