But it didn't actually happen. That was my point.

The point of the original post was to show that a government facility was hacked and this deep fake was played on TVs there.

Like anyone thought the video was real. :lol

If you think there’s no end game in this DOGE bullshit for him, you’re fooling yourself. I read somewhere that 8 out of the first 11 institutions he went after and has been trying to shutter had him under investigation, starting with USAID.

Maybe it was EndWokeness, you know, the same place that reported that Haitians were eating pets that so many of you ran with.

Jennings is exactly right. Pipeline workers or other blue collar people are fired overnight and dismissively told to "learn to code", but government workers are somehow a special protected class that can never be touched? Fuck that noise.

This whole villainization of USAID is getting old already, but it's low-hanging fruit for someone as simple-minded as Musk and Trump. Was there corruption and fraud in the organization that needed to be rooted out? Of course. I would almost guarantee that there is some measure of corruption and/or fraud in every organization, even the ones that many of you who are cheering this on work for. You can't tell me that there isn't fraud in those $22B worth of contracts that Musk has with the government but hey lets let him decide who needs to go and what needs to be shut down.

As CL said, fuck that noise.

Big difference. I would bet that the person's manager or someone else within the company is making that determination as to whether that worker is necessary, not some fucking egomaniacal fuckstick billionaire, and you can take your pick as to which one I'm talking about.

So no, he's not exactly right.

But Irv, let's say there's corruption and waste in Microsoft or Apple or GM, which I'm sure there is.

The difference is, that's their problem. I'm not funding them.

And those companies need profits to survive so they have an incentive to do something. That's the problem with the public sector. They don't need to be efficient to survive. They are just perpetually funded regardless of what they are doing. It's crazy to me that people don't get it.
