>Numerous other claims have been shown to account for entire contract amounts, even though they only cancelled the remaining balance of the contract. They are building this live and it's been a month as a side quest. They have fixed those issues that you have said, and have been updating the website, fixing different pricing, etc. etc. every single day. They have not been preparing for months... that's not how system integration works... They post literally daily about their savings. https://doge.gov/ https://doge.gov/

You're right we should give the people slashing budgets without thought or care more space to build their website showing they have no idea what's going on.

I’m not sure how to put it in the nicest way possible without offending anyone, but — your government is the only one in the 2nd/1st world country that is doing in a way where it hurts average person for no reason. Hypothesis among people that I talk to in real life is that American government is jealous of China and knows they can’t have the same power and abilities as they due. This is just a side effect of them freaking out and realizing that they are, in fact, the laughing stock of the entire world. There’s this idea, I have no idea from where, that entire world depends on the states, and without US everyone would literally starve to death. But it’s just really not the case. Sure, everyone would suffer, but any sane country has already worked out contingency plans, and is preparing for it while blatantly pretending to bend the knee. I think there’s a deep cultural issue that you guys need to face and fix. In my opinion, most of it comes from the lack of education. However, you’re actively making sure that people are less educated and blur our the moral lines to have small wins that will be insignificant in the longer term. I’m saying this as a person who has deep personal connections to people living in the states. Those people belong different “factions” of the political spectrum, and it is just incredibly sad to see from the sidelines.

  It's sad to see from inside, too.

Project 2025 has been an open plan for years and the level of coordination between political elites aligned with the Heritage Foundation and tech industry radicals is obvious on its face. If the goal was reducing fraud and waste, accurate accounting would be a core principle and this wouldn't happen. They aren't because it's not. Their goal was rapid destruction of the US government apparatus to prevent oversight and accountability that would enable preservation and restoration of constitutional government. Seems like it's working.

  To me it "seems like" the CIA is being attacked and its extinction burst through the media it controlled for the last generation is causing a blast of hysteria. Everything published in media organizations that until recently were receiving federal funds should be viewed through that light. They're mainly mad because their gravy train stopped. I don't like the Yarvinists doing the attacking but the old regime acting like it was a representation of the will of the people at this point is pretty offensive. There's a reason people voted against them. It's just a shame that we couldn't have voted for liberal ideals instead of neoreactionary ones. If we get very lucky maybe we will wind up with the CIA defanged and without completely sliding into authoritarianism! a person can dream, anyway..

    My fellow Americans need to stop inventing wish-fulfillment fantasies that everything's going to be ok and fine. It's a coup by the worst elements of American society (eugenicists! Christian nationalists! white supremacists!) in collusion with oligarchs, dictators, and autocrats. People are acting like the most disingenuous and dishonest people are scions of truth. Half of y'all are excited cuz you seem to think you'll get to strap a nuke to your bike and screw a 15 year old razorgirl. This isn't Snow Crash, it's real life, you WILL be impacted by mass famine, unmanaged pandemics, economic depression, geopolitical balkanization, and war. These are the outcomes made possible through DOGE.

Why have US universities slowed down or stopped recruiting PhD students? Seems to be a direct result of Doge shenanigans.
