The Department of Government Efficiency (aka DOGE)

[Rebel5soul]

Abolish the IRS

It is evil, pernicious and anti-American not to mention a violation of your fundamental right to privacy.

And every time the democrats get in power they weaponize it. Quite frankly maybe the repubs should hyper-weaponize it to get the dems on board with shit canning the agency. A kind or reverse psyops.

A counter-intuitive tactic that would require some sort of unity.

"They're Republicans Jim, not Democrats. I can't work miracles here... it's the divergence crystal..."

That's the problem when one party is still mostly ethically based and the other isn't.

 

[AceDesSpades]

The ends always justifies the means and doin' right's got no end.

A nice truism mash-up...

 

[AceDesSpades]

What does Sensei K say at a time like this, when standards are all the same (moral relativism) a low one is the same as a high one and easier to attain (so you go win you some more white-belt awards!)...

 

[DeluxAuto]

Yes it's everyone else who spreads their hate, not Democrats because it's PROGRESS when you guys do it!!!

Your open loathing of white "people" and males is RIGHTIOUS VIRTUE!!!

LOL

Histrionics.

The university, once a sanctuary of intellectual exploration and debate, has shifted dramatically from its founding purpose as a beacon of learning and discovery. Plato may not have known the term "university," but his Academy, founded in 387 BCE, is often regarded as one of the first. There, he nurtured a space of dialectical inquiry, structured conversations and probing questions to pursue deeper truths. Fast forward to today, and this ideal of learning has all but vanished, replaced by a corporate-style system that prioritizes administrative control over academic freedom. Universities have drifted from their mission, morphing into ideological factories where administrators, rather than educators, set the tone and agenda.

Growing Bloat and Ideological Drift:

Reflecting on my own experiences, growing up in Fresno with parents dedicated to California State University (CSU), becoming a student, and eventually a professor… I see a disturbing shift. Our universities, once centers for research and teaching, have morphed into bureaucracies driven by administrators with agendas that seem far removed from genuine learning. This administrative bloat is not only costly; it stifles intellectual diversity and drives up tuition, turning students and their families into the financial backers of a system that increasingly values conformity over knowledge.

The Numbers Don’t Lie:

The numbers reveal the extent of this administrative takeover. Between 1993 and 2014, senior management at UCLA swelled by 300%, dwarfing the modest 60% increase in faculty and a 33% rise in student enrollment. Current figures are harder to obtain, but a 2021 report underscores that this trend hasn’t just continued—it’s accelerated, with administrative budgets absorbing an ever-larger slice of university resources.

Google CATL Solid State. Tested and viable now, production line being built in China for production early 2027. Per Mr Wu who has a record of delivering on time.

So they aren’t currently available and won’t be for some time.

It's like putting 14-year-old boys are in charge of the government:

"OMG! Doge, dude! that's hilarious!"

Elon Musk seems like a 14 year old boy to you?

This guy has recently written several pro-Trump editorials, but he expects nothing to come from Musk’s DOGE.

Republicans will regret Elon Musk’s efficiency project

Musk and Ramaswamy seem to think they’re the first people to try to streamline the US government. They’re not even close. The Congressional Budget Office has a longstanding list of “options for reducing the deficit” that Congress routinely ignores. Dozens of think tanks have blueprints for streamlining government, including one from Manhattan Institute budget expert Brian Riedl that we discussed in detail recently on the Yahoo Finance Capital Gains podcast.

President Barack Obama appointed a bunch of experts to produce the 2010 “Bowles-Simpson report,” one of the most earnestly overlooked documents in American history. President Bill Clinton launched the “reinventing government” initiative, doomed to obscurity once ardent budget geeks tried branding it as ReGo. The 1986 Packard Commission actually led to some changes in defense procurement, but critics argued that it created more problems than it solved.

RFK Jr. has some really bold and ambitious “concepts of a plan” for America’s food and health system as well…

The money that is going to be wasted achieving NOTHING under DonOld’s latest administration will only exacerbate the economic crisis that will ensue from DonOld’s tax / tariff policies, and his surrendering of independent / sovereign international territory, trade partners, and global resources to our adversaries.

SAD!!!

just leaving this here for anyone interested in reading about the 'battery man' Zeng who's told musk to his face that the plans he has for a certain battery will fail.

Though Tesla cars are made in multiple places, one key difference between vehicles made in China and those made in the U.S.A. is the source of one key component: the battery. While U.S.-built Teslas can get batteries made by either LG Energy Solutions or Panasonic, Chinese Teslas have local partners such as Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited (CATL), which has been the battery supplier for Shanghai Giga since 2020.

Though Tesla is a major CATL customer, the battery company's founder and chairman, Robin Zeng, had some grievances with Tesla CEO Elon Musk

What we need is a tax system that's a whole lot more redistributive than what we've got now. How is FairTax supposed to do that?

Yes. Elon Musk is immature and impulsive. Not good traits for a leader.

Maladjusted and antisocial as well…

Do you think he would be a good C.E.O. for a company that sends more rockets into space then all other countries or businesses combined? What impulse are you referring to?

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Elon Musk gets shit done. That's what leaders do.

Elon Musk bought Twitter on a whim because he thought it would make him more popular.

"leaders", like “Leon”, can get “shit done” in positive AND negative ways.

Also:

“Leon” is a nepo-baby whose education, lifestyle, and “foot in the door” to business was partially funded by “blood emeralds”.

“Leon” has also benefited from “the system”, and is currently being subsidized by the U.S. government (taxpayers):

Government pays his company.

Are you daft?


Any business with an advantage with government subsidies making decisions the directly impact them...

You are daft

So fucking what?

What does that have to do with rooting out government waste? Unless you think that waste is doting on EVs.

He told you that was his motive? I heard him say that he bought twitter because he could see that the deep state was controlling all the social media.
