Department of Goverment Efficiency: Savings
- koolba 2y agoThe links into the FPDS system are very interesting. Can see myself going down quite a rabbit hole to analyze the data. For example, what's this $10M for "Psychological Safety Training Support"? https://www.fpds.gov/common/jsp/LaunchWebPage.jsp?command=execute&requestid=240654792&version=1.5 https://www.fpds.gov/common/jsp/LaunchWebPage.jsp?command=ex... The FPDS system says it's foreign owned LLP registered in NY. Why were we sending them $10M?
- p_ing 2y agoWhatever is posted is unreliable. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/doge/doge-days-musk-trump-tout-cuts-fraud-claims-are-debunked-rcna192217 https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/doge/doge-days-musk-trump-t... NBC isn't the only outlet reporting that their "savings" don't add up.
- ZeroGravitas 2y agoI like how it defaults to total contract value and when you click to savings one of the first ones listed has a saving of zero dollars. Wow, good job doge. Much transparent. Very saving. edit: AP news suggests 40% of the cancellations have zero savings.
- blharr 2y agoDoesn't cancelling these programs half-way through just ensure that they don't do anything? It might be a sunk cost fallacy, but if you're 80% of the way to fulfill this contract and it is canceled, you're not exactly saving the 20%. It would seem that they're just wasting the 80%
- drweevil 2y agoHow much will it cost to repair the damage doge has done, is what I want to know.
