OK. For those who are curious. I'm not a Democrat, I'm a progressive. I believe people should be able to live their lives as they choose, so long as they don't force it on others.
Elon Musk's DOGE is gone, but the wreckage it left behind at the VA is still being felt. A new VA Inspector General report found that DOGE, alongside Trump's VA appointees, terminated 435 contracts worth a total of $1.1 billion.
The process? Completely backwards. Contracts were marked for cancellation first, before staff could justify them or consider how veterans would be affected. In some cases, staff had just a few hours to review hundreds of contracts.
The rush was so reckless that the VA had to reinstate about 100 contracts it had already canceled.

@AntiMacro Yes, they have potash. Not sure it'd be cheaper to ship it all the way to the US, assuming a EU country allows it to pass their borders, since Belarus is landlocked. They are also a Russian ally, and that tracks with Trump. 😒
@JamesSurowiecki In some ways he is correct. With the exception of the recent Exxon-Mobil refinery, the oil companies haven't been replacing them. Reason: They want the government (i.e. the taxpayer) to foot the bill for them. This, not drilling, has been the limiting factor of production.
AIPAC is pro-Zionism, not pro Jewish. If anything, it's causing more dislike of Jews in general, because Americans mostly don't understand all Jews are not Zionist. 🤨
