Let's get real; America and Americans are getting GRIFTED! but keep sipping your Kool-Aid. The departments that hold other government agencies accountable was one of the first to be dismantled - I wonder why??????? There was scuttle-butt that they were auditing Leon's various companies government contract compliance when they were terminated. https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/nearly-1-billion-of-doge-savings-vanish-overnight/ar-AA1D7swu Elon Musk drastically drops DOGE’s savings goal from $2 trillion to $150 billion for the year I wonder who was really full of it; when they proposed DOGE and promised $2 trillion in savings. I wouldn't consider $150B chump change; but missing the mark by over 85%???? Where's the "Your Fired" guy????? YMMV
It won't be the first time that employees whose civil service rules were violated eventually sued and recovered not only what was taken away but legal expenses and punitive damages too. If @hill was a practicing attorney, he might have more insights about such lawsuits. Bob Wilson
Your correct; but our justice system moves very slowly. The courts are skewed and really pushing (reaching, to justifying) decisions; which is their JOB - but hasn't broken the letter of the law - yet!! The question is - Why cause all this harm and why can't they follow the rule of law in the first place - Just like the rest of us is EXPECTED to do? In the end; it's going to cost the government even more money. Unfortunately those that were asleep in their civics classes, don't seem to understand that. This is simply mobster behavior. Designed to bring fear and compliance to us law abiding citizens. Sorry in advance for the rant......... Here's some comic relief to smooth things over.....
with a republican president, congress and supreme court, the majority voting public is getting what they want. or it may be that they aren't getting what they want, and they aren't getting what they don't want. or they may be confused like me
It happened to Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, and many others, Regardless of the achievements that made them great, they become corrupted by their own fame, and the inner sociopath comes out. After that, redemption is rare.
Maybe a year or two ago, I read a story about how Musk seemed to take pleasure in humiliating an employee and firing him in front of everyone for something minor. At the time, Musk was still a bit of a popular hero, and this was seen as a bit of a quirk in his personality. It should have been a sign of the emerging sociopath within.
The difficulty is there are 2 truths...the left truth..and the right truth... Both sides push their objectives to win the minds of others...the problem IMMO is that no one wins hearts any more. Morals and kindness are "weak and being NICE" doesn't get you the corner office. Elon and Musk and Many CEO,leaders, are "crappy" people who see a downed person as a step not an opportunity to stop, kneel down and offer a hand. However I appreciate the bluntness of his demeanor. Lesser of two evils...maybe but after what happened to Biden and how he was propped up and used by his own people...is morally revolting. 2018....EV's save the planet...2025 EV's support OLigarchy... NOT TESLA..all EV's.. um.. that message is grouped and faulty and clearly a contraction Mostly from the Democratic party. The far left AND the far right (concepts and message delivery) are both equally disturbing and destructive. In America the ONLY thing that keeps our society together is in the middle somewhere. That has been and will be the constant struggle for humans as long as we are on this planet. Social media has become very,very toxic to our society.. Data collections and surveys are useless. anyone can skew them in how they pose a question. What do we know about Tesla (actual) Edison, Lincoln, Elon, Trump, Clinton, Michael Jackson,John Lennon, X, MLK? Actions not words. "Ask NOT what your country can do for you,..." If you know the rest thinking about the how and why you know. You watched it live or listened to it live. With posting and the ease of the firehose speed of information delivery its easier than ever to deliver false narratives. If you successfully separate people and keep them in their social media bubble...you can "suggest a label for them" Given time those like minded will develop a grouping and identify with that label. Groupings could be called "left" "right" "Black" "White" "Trans" "Dem" "Repub", "Red", "Blue".......but those are todays words....we could Simplify and help others further lock it down with A, B, C,...D The tweens of today already use the letter "G" to label or identify as LGBTQNB became too long to type or text. "Gray" is a blend of color. The middle ...of the left..right...model.... could be perceived as "gray" being far to one side is EASY. The middle is Hard..that is why people shy away from it. It's easier to be fat,stoned,stupid,lazy,fornicate freely,and stand on your own soapbox. (which has been replaced with Social Media) and scream "I'm right, Your wrong!" and throw words, insults, stones..this works because if it bothers the receiver of the stone.... and they wince, or click, or type, or bleed..cry out. The stone caster gets a brief sense of control and for a short time they feel better about themselves.. "self soothing" is accepted and encouraged. You can do this with alcohol,drugs,money,sex, shopping,driving fast, beating your wife, stealing, shooting,stabbing,killing,gambling,torturing et cetera. Separation is the first step to control. Everyone gets to think for themselves and I believe that that thinking dictates our behavior. I fight daily to be gray. I give compassion as a direct result of my empathy. I point the finger of blame at nobody but myself because I don't care to control people. I found out that I'm dying a long time ago so I use my limited time (like everyone else) for the best ROI that I can. Musk has a high IQ, is caucasian, has been in charge of several companies...but he also was born,crawled,walked, ran and will die someday. I think about both ends......and try REALLY HARD....to stay in the middle... and not pick up any stones. This too will pass.
Reminds me there are two kinds of of people in the world: Those who separate everything in two groups Those who do not Bob Wilson
