Biden created gov jobs and used borrowed money to finance it.Biden left the economy in great shape. Now jobs are becoming more scarce and prices are rising.
Trump gave him all the power he needs to accomplish the task he has generously volunteered to do.Nobody gave Musk any power. Trump needs him to pay off his debts so he is giving him power he has no right to.
Thieves often "volunteer" to steal.Trump gave him all the power he needs to accomplish the task he has generously volunteered to do.
There seems to be some dispute about this pledged contract for Tesla vehicles but if one had existed I'm pretty sure Trump canceled it when he announced an end to the EV mandate.Yup. His project was cancelled by the government, so he latched onto Trump. Now he has a contract for Tesla trucks and God only knows how many other hidden contracts. We don't see them.
What is it that you think he is stealing?Thieves often "volunteer" to steal.
And now that I got started - wtf is with firing people by email?
Terribly cruel way to handle an action that has a life changing impact on the terminated employee.
Why do so many people apparently find it "demeaning" to report on what they did?
Prepare for the a trump recession.So far they appear to be strengthening the economy. They are expanding the private sector workforce and shrinking the public sector simultaneously. That is economically healthy.
Good for you! Thank you for your service. Let us know how it goes.This week I had to respond to an email from Pete Hegseth, our Secretary of Defense. The email requested that I provide 5 bullet points about what I accomplished in my DOD civilian job last week.
I found this completely demeaning to everyone who is serving our country. I served this nation for over 20 years in the US Army, retiring as a Master Sergeant and I now work for the Department of Defense. Meanwhile, our Secretary of Defense never commanded a unit greater than a Company, but is serving as Trump and Musk's lap dog.
I realize that this is nothing but political theater, since many Trump supporters literally hate government workers, but the vast majority of government workers work hard and serve this nation, but also need their job to provide for themselves and their families. Pay for government workers is less than 3% of the budget. I really worry about these people, who are affected by this garbage.
Fortunately I don't need the job. I tried the retirement thing, but got bored and went back to work. So, in case anyone reads them, which I doubt, my 5 bullet comments were:
-**** you
-**** you

I've known ArmyCowboy dating back to another message board. I'm sure it's been decades.
He and I have shared private messages about politics and sports and he's told me about his life and I've probably told him some about mine. He's an honorable and really good guy.
This MAGA political theatre pisses me off because it insults decent, hardworking people like him.
Looks like the point is to expose useless, arrogant pricks on the government payroll.

Like Elon Musk.Looks like the point is to expose useless, arrogant pricks on the government payroll.
Agreed but that is exactly the picture the GOP leadership is painting for their base and they are eating it up. Then again, who doesn't maga hate?I've never worked in government but I've worked closely with all 3 levels of government in Canada, the US and China.
It mystifies me why government employees are regarded as less dedicated, hard working and effective as the private sector.
Government employees are just like the rest of us. They didn't suddenly all become sloths just because they work for a government department.

Uh huh, tell us more.Why do so many people apparently find it "demeaning" to report on what they did? Pretty much every desk job I've ever had I've had to report on every minute I was at work. 30 minutes doing this, 1.5 hours doing that, etc... I've only ever worked in the private sector.
Sure we do.You obviously don't know why he sent out that email...even
I'll go and I don't make excuses for my golf game, I'm your everyday hacker who hasn't played in two years and I won't mind coming in third if you don't mind me not drinking and smoking instead.Why would I want an ass whipping?
We shall see but I don't think there will be one.Prepare for the a trump recession.
Sounds like they had a company full of incompetent workers.It was part of a time tracking and project management program that kept track of notes and time spent on various projects company-wide. And it wasn't just me that had to do it! Do you really think management invested in such a system just to keep track of an incompetent worker?! What a bizarre perception you have of the private sector! It's downright dreamlike...
In the private sector, profitability is a thing, and management likes to be able to calculate that sort of thing. Have you ever worked in the private sector? Just curious. Sure sounds like you haven't since you seem to treat accountability as some sort of punishment rather than the standard.
Same thing here. Again treating accountability as some sort of punishment or reaction to incompetence. Also, how does one calculate "results" without being able to calculate time (and thus money) spent on said results? It was like that before I worked at the place and applied to everyone, even the bosses. I guess here is another person who never worked in the private sector...
Well if a trump political girlfriend like you says so then we should all ignore job losses and financial people.We shall see but I don't think there will be one.
