You guys should run a country, seems like you could do better. | I'm not in support of a bloated government, but do you actually think it's a good thing to replace department heads with people who have no fucking clue what they're doing? And if anything they support Trumpism which is worse?
Have you seen the shit RFK posts about health? The guy is a complete nutjob, straight up insane.
It seems like you are responding without putting any consideration first. That's how people like Trump or PP get elected.

Trump said he plans to install Fox news host as Defense Secretary. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...ry-2024-11-13/
Also, all the stupid Arab-Americans who voted for Trump because they thought Biden/Harris/Dems weren't doing enough, are going to be very surprised Pikachu.

With Elon becoming 1/2 of this Efficiency Czar, is he still going to keep working as the CEO for his various companies?
Under normal circumstances, I'd assume that people in this sort of position would want to avoid raising conflict of interest allegations, and would suspend their leadership roles in whatever private companies they work in. But this is Elon we are talking about, so I really don't know what to expect.
I just know that if I were a Tesla shareholder, I'd be pissed about how Elon has just got approval for a massive pay package recently, but is now heading off somewhere else to "lead and direct". (Or maybe they'd really prefer that since it'd make their work more predictable?)

Tesla shareholders should be happy if he's conflict of interesting his days away in the government, he can basically clear his own path for tech approvals and lord knows what else.
It's the other manufacturers of competitor products that should be extremely concerned and interested in this nonsense.

When Bush 2 won his second term I was angry at the Americans. Now I just feel sorry for them.

Oh it's so simple Elon! Why didn't anyone ever think of it before? Just look at something for 5 seconds and be like "GONE" and cut it or cut of its funding!
Nothing like studying what the funding was for or who might be affected! Or even if you did, if it's something you personally just don't like or see value in it's gone anyway! "I'm rich! What do I care? Everything is so easy and simple if you want it to be!" Quote:

Entire US government is going to be run like a second rate frat house. Fart jokes! Boobies!
That Ramaswamy guy might be the biggest idiot of all literally ran on a platform of anti-immigration after being born in the US to immigrant parents lol... not even like 3rd or 4th gen... he's right out of the mother country's womb. I guess he wants to be one of the last ones.

Department of Government Efficiency, D.O.G.E, to cut government wasteful spending? 2 Trillion in spending cuts?
Musk is delulu! What is Elon going to cut in terms of spending?
If US defence spending and interest payments on the U.S. national debt areoff limits in terms of spending cuts, the math does not add up in terms of massive spending cuts to even be close to trillions in spending cuts.
Elon should tell Trump to take less flights to his golf clubs on the weekend.
That would be a good start in terms of cutting wasteful American government spending haha.

The average American's quality of life is going to get so much worse. Yet half of them will be too fucking stupid to realize it was their own doing, and worse, continue to blame everything else. Thanks Obama.

Trump just talked about Elon Musk in the closed House Republican Conference meeting.
He thanked Musk for everything he did in the election and said now he can't get rid of him. (Meaning he's always around)

Thanks Obama. | An average American, representing around 95% of the population, and the majority of voters is going to feel the pain of a president who favours the 1%. It’s already begun... Quote:
“Donald Trump’s election win is clouding the outlook for mortgage rates even before he gets back to the White House,” the AP reports.
“The president-elect campaigned on a promise to make homeownership more affordable by lowering mortgage rates through policies aimed at knocking out inflation. But his proposed economic agenda could potentially set the stage for mortgage rates to move higher.”

What people didn't realize/care to find out is they're changing the definition of OT, from +40hours/week to +160hours/month.
So if you work 75 hours for 2 weeks, then don't work for 2, you don't get any overtime pay, because now it's not OT anymore. But hey! No taxes!

Trying to be factual here.
The 160 hrs/month change is a Project 2025 proposal, and at least on the surface, Trump has tried to distance himself from it. I do not believe him, but that's what he has done.
The proposal also did not explicitly call for a change. Instead, it called for "flexibility" in determining how OT is calculated. Companies and their employees should be free to calculate working hours across either 14 or 28 days instead of just 7.
Obviously I think this is BS. BC's rule is over 8 hours a day, or over 40 hours a week becomes overtime work, and requires OT pay rates. Stretching it to 2 or 4 weeks is a ripoff to the employees.

Trump may have pretended to distance himself from Project 2025, but his cronies aren't being subtle about it anymore.
