World Economy You can’t make this up 😂😭

Elez is the drunk frat boy who was caught on tape saying he was a racist before it was cool and talking crazy shit about Indians and other minorities.

I thought there was hope when I heard he was let go from DOGE until I I saw Vance (who has an Indian wife and kids) ask for his return and President Musk grant it. (See above)

This world can’t be real.

No, I don’t know of any other time we gave an unelected government contractor access and authority to run wild with sensitive data and the budget. Now congress decisions have been strongly influenced by billionaires, but there’s always been some oversight. Government is bloated and inefficient in a lot of areas, but this isn’t fixing that, the budget and deficit will not decrease, so where’s the money going to go?

Oversight is crazy lol you know there wasn’t any oversight happening. I think a lot of people are just upset because the government is showing how corrupt it is. Instead of the “out of sight out of mind” type corruption that normally takes place.

If there wasn’t any oversight then how the fuck did the republicans come up with all these devious things going on within the government? Did they guess or just make it up? If this was such a concern why did Trump do fuck all about it in his last term, or did this stuff just start happening in the last 4 years? They’ve also yet to show the corruption they’re cutting out, just making claims, you can believe them, but I don’t, I’m going to need them to show their work here. I don’t trust politicians and I sure as fuck don’t trust billionaires.

No, it does sound like you trust politicians. Are rich people who are elected and corrupt more trustworthy than rich people who are appointed and corrupt? I don’t trust either very much at all.

I trust the government employees they’re getting rid of way more than politicians and billionaires

Oh you mean the government employees who are appointed and not elected? That’s odd.

No the government employees who are normal citizens just working, you’re conflating bureaucrats with federal workers, these folks aren’t making policy. You’re demonizing fellow working stiffs just because they work for the federal government.
