    I’m torn on this, on one hand I know there must be millions of dollars in contracts for pointless reports and a huge amount of government wasteful spending in general.

    On the other hand, musk and trump are absolute morons. And they will cut shit just because they don’t know what the words mean.

      They’re not cutting actual waste. Their goal is to cripple the parts of the government that stopped them from doing illegal shit.

      “Im torn on this, on one hand I know I have an untreated open wound on my leg, on the other hand here’s a 6 year old kid in a “doctor is in” t shirt who wants to smear whipped cream on it as a treatment”.

      What’s to be torn by? False dichotomy.

        Look at the bright side, the Evil Empire is over! America is done. Cooked. The next few years are gonna suck a lot but the deteriorating conditions will finally push Americans into a second revolution.

          Sadly, the deteriorating conditions are exactly what some groups want. Those are also the ones who can affect change, either with guns or money.

          0.001 ElonCoin says that absolutely nobody will revolt against anything.

          70% of the country either wants this or was too lazy to do a single thing to stop it, and the other 30% is too busy yelling at each other about how they’re the most pure.

          Ain’t shit gonna happen.
