Well, Trump is doing something no one thought possible – ruin a country in a short amount of time.
Last time it took three years for him to tank the economy. Now? He’s got a team that has been regurgitating the same offal for years and they are determined to “fix” things based on false assumptions, uneducated stupidity and malice.
Take Social Security, after saying he wasn’t going to touch Social Security his Doge team shut ten field offices, got rid of the department that helps seriously disabled people get benefits and, of course closed the Civil Rights office. So what’s a person who wats benefits to do? They can go to the web site. Oh, but all those people are gone too.
We are told Elon is not in charge of Doge. It’s a woman who was surprised to learn that she was while on vacation in Mexico. Elon said in the first cabinet meeting that they may make mistakes, but they will fix them quickly. Take for instance the ebola folks. Yeah. Fired. Rehired. Bird flu? Same deal.
Meanwhile, Bobby Jr. is “doing his thing.” There’s been a measles outbreak in Texas. People have died. That’s normal say Jr. Really? Have you googled “last measles outbreak US”. You might be interested to know that the disease was declared eradicated in 2000. Now? It’s Baaack!!! It seems everyone who has measles was not vaccinated or their vaccination status is unknown. There are no cases of a person who is vaccinated getting measles. Maybe, there’s a correlation?
Same for polio and other diseases that we know how to stop with vaccines such as mumps, chickenpox, Hep A or B, and Bubonic Plaque.
Yeah, that’s right, The Black Death is making a resurgence. Turns out marmots in Mongolia are infected with it and their health department has warned people not to eat marmot meat. Guess who went there to eat marmot meat? Don Jr. Right on. He knew there were warnings not to eat it. Some kind of illegality thingee, which he ignored.
But not to worry, Don Jr.’s hunting buddy is heading up the FDA’s food safety group. This after the old head of the group resigned after 89 of the people in that department were fired. He thought it would be “useless” to continue given the distain the administration has shown toward them. But Don Jr’s buddy? Well, he has some legal degrees and claims to have extensively advised about regulations and chemicals in foods. That is a good thing because the FDA was looking into a listeria outbreak in supplemental shakes.
Let’s clear up one other thing – “probationary hires.” It’s not just new hires. It’s anyone who has been promoted into a new job. They are probationary in that job for one to two years. There are people with 15 and 20 years service whose careers are on the chopping block.
Ya know what I haven’t heard of is any waste that has been found. I mean little things, but nothing that Doge or people who have been railing against “The Deep State” have found.
I have seen that the Doge folks have little or no understanding of many of the areas they are running through with buzz saws. Take for instance Social Security and people being 150 years old. They found bunches of them. Are any of them getting checks? Who knows. No one checked. Did they bother to learn that if Social Security doesn’t have a birth date for someone they put in “1875”? Lemme do some high level math here 1875 from 2025 is, hum, well to get to 1900 would be 25 years, and to 2000 is another 100 and to get to 2025 would be 25. So 25 + 100 + 25 would be 150. Hum, so it seems that the number of people reported to be 150 years old is actually the number of people who may not have a birth date? Just guessing.
Meanwhile, airplanes keep dropping out of the sky. Depending whom you listen to about such things and how you cherry pick your facts (e.g. Fox News – worse under Biden, Eric Swallwell – none under Biden, Washington Post – “the American Airlines crash at Reagan National Airport on Jan. 29 was the first fatal accident of a commercial airline in 16 years — and the deadliest in almost a quarter-century. “
It seems that we’ve been experiencing a lot of plane incidents recently. Now Doge says they’ll come in and fix the software. What? You’ll let people muck around in code they’ve shown even the most basic knowledge of the code to be terrible to muck around in code that keeps panes flying? Well, don’t worry according to the not director of Doge they will make mistakes but they will fix them fast.
