Don't you think Elon and Vivek will be awesome? Does Dr. Jill really need 20 personal aides? C'mon, man?

[saraupstairs]

What do they even do? Do they even know what their job is? Are they just bumping into each other?

@exitseven You're in charge of her left sock. @dongie You're in charge of her right sock. You guys will be working closely together, because it's important that the colors match. Shelly will help you make a spreadsheet. Todd will oversee the operation. Hank will cover your vacations,

@-Cece- , you're in charge of kibbles.

Cese: Kay

@-Cece- And don't get a bunch of spit on 'em!

Cece: Kay

PS I gave up on fighting the AI for the category. The robot chose education. Tomorrow I'll get a notice that I put it in the wrong category. I'll just blame it on Cece.

Oh, the robot just changed it to technology! Poor Cece.

All the Globe could write about was how all the precious attempt at cutting government waste have been failures. I think the problem with them all is that the people that are financing the elections are the ones getting rich from government waste. With Elon and Vivek we do not have that problem. I think that Elon will have fun doing this. To him it will be like playing Whack A Mole. Vivek has an eye on the presidency so this will be a good resume builder.

[AviatorTom]

@exitseven Love the "Whack--A-Mole" analogy.

I went to college. I never understood economics. It's hard to understand. So when I think of economics, I think of us on an island.


You would probably be the smart guy who can make a battery out of coconuts. @AviatorTom would clime those coconut trees like a monkey and keep our bellies full. @Dongie and Cece would keep us safe from the headhunters. I can cook like the wind, so I would be useful. But when push comes to shove, do we really need the millionaires or Tina Louise? It was a three-hour cruise. Why would you pack 37 evening gowns? How big was the Minnow? Where did they put all that crap? Why did the millionaires bring a trunk full of cash? When you boil economics down to an island level, it makes sense.

[Dongie]

😅 I figure she's just providing a tax-funded paycheck for friends to hang out at her White House.

[saraupstairs]

Fred: OK, Cece, apparently, Trump put you in charge of ordering food for the white house. What should we order?
Cece: I like fries and tartar sauce.
Fred: Yes, but where should we order it from?
Cece: I like fries and tartar sauce.
Fred: McDonald's?
Cece: Do they have fries and tartar sauce?

Muffin had epilepsy. It was the worst during the 4th of July. Those loud sounds terrified her. She had seizures. I asked the vet for tranquilizers. I didn't have enough jingle in my pocket to pay his price. So I popped a Benadryl in her hamburger. She woke up the next day with her tail wagging.
There is more than on way to skin a cat.

[saraupstairs]

one way

[Dongie]

You know, Cece hates thunder and firecrackers. She gets under her sofa then.
But she doesn't like bread or potatoes. She may like Tartar sauce as she loves mayo. She loves fish, too.

[saraupstairs]

It's the carbs.

[lightbulb27]

You are so funny!

Yes. Huge Vivek fan and Elon is amazing. Do they know how to get things done yes. I lived this reality in small growing company... constant shakeups, heads roll, constant moving around. So I'm ok with it. Do they understand what they are "jacking with"... I doubt it. Listened to Vivek... he knows there's going to be pain and mistakes and said so. And what happens when things get "screwed up"... in these institutions? Some would say, we saw when trump fired bolton and covid hit at same time. Will planes fall out of the air? Willl students fall through the cracks?

Whom is going to hire govt workers... will there be a re-training program? Do you know how many of these people sit around reading newspapers for 3 hours a day... and they are going to have to work... all day, possibly overtime... without pay? Does anyone know how much $ is funneled in corporation welfare for stuff that is not needed and never used... they just have to use their budgets up so buy all sorts of junk not needed? Well... those corporations going to take a hit... their salves volume going to decline.

Their resumes... they haven't done a resume in long time. This is gonna really be painful...

What's awsome is by June, they will be done with this and move onto what's next.

While I would love to see the federal government pared back to its enumerated functions and those things logically necessary and proper to fulfill those, I doubt anyone can slay the behemoth. I hope I am proven wrong.

[saraupstairs]

Time will tell. Liberals voted for Trump.

[na2398]

Considering Elon and Vivek are gonna downsize the federal staff, methinks the job crisis could worsen. However, if they manage to create new jobs in other sectors, kudos to them (They're gonna climb upstairs like Sara then 😎😉)

[saraupstairs]

McDonald's is looking for workers.

[na2398]

So is the 4-year cruise sailing off FL in January 😆😂

[saraupstairs]

I don't know about that.

[na2398]

For the 'Great Escape' lmao 🤣

[exitseven]

Most of the jobs created by the Biden/Harris administration were government jobs. Getting rid of them will cause jobless claims to rise but only for a year. When their unemployment runs out they will not be counted after that.

[na2398]

@exitseven Of course. And if the private sector absorbs 'em all, bravo!

[D_Bone_Steak]

For reals we've let the political class turn into aristocracy. 20 personal aids? does she even dress herself?

I'd bet money she was getting dick out of at least 3 of them.

[Redstang88]

Only if they come up to Canada next. Elon does to the government what he did to twitter and there may actually be some hope for society

[SolitarySolace]

I'm excited to see what Elon and Vivek do as part of the department of government efficiency
