People forget how many private companies that have government contracts. If they fire 100,000 feds, a lot of companies could be forced to reciprocate.

I just had a heated discussion with a friend of a friend on Facebook most of the day. I won’t tell you their demographic, but they were a very charged up Trump supporter. Then Facebook started showing me this group on my feed. Check out the masthead

Solidarity with our Government workers. Democrats and Republicans. Donald Musk does not like America.

I thought Trump promised to remove Pay to Play in government. Another lie swallowed.

So, obviously the young programmers Musk brought to the government agencies aren’t doing forensic accounting. Only thing I think is plausible is they got the staff list and are now cross referencing with political posts, so they can fire people who aren’t loyal to Trump.

The country now being run by gamers who don’t like a different color mermaid. 2016 it was boomers, 2024 was gamers.

Trump thinks that Musk isn’t gaining anything with doge. He thinks the presidency is gaining something obviously. I think everyone knows Musk doesn’t need the money. Trump did/does. We are pissed that he’s a racist nazi working outside the constitution.

What does Musk want to do at NOAA? Replace weather models with LLMs? I’m kind of not joking.

At least he dropped the mask. He could have said he wanted to remake government and seek consensus, but now we know is a nazi. Left need to realize we hold the purse strings, let’s Delorean this piece of shit.

He's not a "kid." He's an adult, with an important govt job. The posts weren't "stupid." They were hatefully racist. His life isn't "ruined." He lost a job. Holding a govt employee accountable is not a "reward" for a journalist. The reporter doesn't get a cookie.

If you never play dirty, you don’t know how to defend against dirty tricks. Learn.

Don T. Business Genius. Apparently the lake in between Panama Canal is drying up. They need to find an alternative route for it. $$$. Sweden and Norway pulling back from investing in Arctic Sea route because of war in Ukraine. Cue Trump, l want Panama Canal and Greenland. Typical eh?

If there was a #GeneralStrike I would feel obligated to join in. There aren’t very many options left.
