Excellent points by Carmack! We should be running 10-1000 experiments under the ocean with habitats. Would be extremely useful. Basically have nations compete like they did with the space race or arms races.

Read only access would be required to find potential fraud. Everyone here has been saying the millions of database records of Social Security people potentially collecting benefits between the ages of 100-150 is just a COBOL programming dea

Reddit is a far left wasteland. I would highly recommend using X instead, which is a balance of 48% Democrats, 47% Republicans and 100% entertainment.

Remember - these same Washington contractors who made hundreds of millions on the healthcare website- are still in DC collecting billions. We need Doge to clean them out.

Canada would never have an insurgency, because it would not be needed. 40 million socialist Canadians voting in American elections would give Democrats a forever advantage in all national politics.

Everyone thought Elon was crazy pushing electric cars... maybe everyone thinking he is crazy now pushing government reform will look back on this as the obvious right decision?

We need to change the laws making it difficult to fire federal employees, so that we can fire low performers instead of just based on seniority. Previous corrupt laws were passed to only allow firing junior employees, not senior. So this is

The American people voted explicitly for massive federal government reform. Those benefitting from corruption in the federal government, media, and NGOs are loudly fighting, but they are a small minority. We need an accountable government.

How is this real? Insane. It is a natural result of people operating in a vacuum with no accountability, yet no real power to make things better. The federal government is a nightmare bureaucracy.

Let each states run its own program, then we can compare to see which methods are best. Generally, smaller organizations are much more responsive to the needs of their users as well. The department of education forgot that its goal is to ed

The massive scale at which white South Africans wish to escape shows the huge discrimination they have faced and theft of their property because of the color of their skin. The current leader of South Africa routinely at his rallies leads s

How is disliking the massively growing cancer that is the federal government anti intellectualism? Have you ever gone to the DMV or the IRS or Social Security buildings and thought "this is a gathering of superb intellects?" ;) Th

The core of the problem is "fractional reserve banking". This is what allows incompetent elites to gain control of formerly great businesses like Google and Microsoft. The way it works is that elites give their banker buddies the

Federal employee in the article says, "It is too easy to vilify us". Hmmm... now why is that?

This country was founded specifically to have a small and weak federal government. The states were supposed to have more power. Now the federal government continues to grow and grow, it's like a cancer.

Move somewhere like Eastern Washington state where the minimum wage is $16 an hour. You can own a piece of land and a small house on that wage here. Apprentice as a lineman, tons of jobs doing that paying well here. All you have to do is sh
