But it is solved by Musk’s scorched earth policies? There is no doubt that the government has inefficiencies, but simply firing people (especially if they aren’t white men) isn’t actually a meaningful solution.

I was in Africa in the Peace Corps in the 90s. Sadly, too many of the governments receiving aid are rife with graft and corruption. Very little aid ever makes it to the people who need it most.

Sadly, what they are creating is going to damage many people (some of whom will be MAGAts), and will take a very long time (if even possible) to repair. There will be people who die as a consequence of the cruelty of this administration.

“Someone is going to have to explain to me why the system of discrimination that DEI replaced was so much better.”
Because under that system white men were not judged by their genitalia or skin pigmentation, therefore, it was completely fair and balanced, with only the best candidates chosen.

1200? Interesting. In 2023, commercial aviation experienced an exceptionally safe year, with no fatal accidents or hull losses involving jet aircraft. This resulted in a record-low fatality risk rate of 0.03 per million sectors.

Does anyone understand why the highway patrol did not close the interstate behind us and then have people at the end of the line start the process of turning around, thus letting us all get off the interstate? I truly don’t understand why it wasn’t done.

What a surprise! The Trump administration playing favorites with wealthy white people while encouraging additional environmental degradation. Who’da thunk it?!

My favorite parting blessing is “may you always get exactly what you deserve.” Said with a saccharine smile, it feels so good!
