Elon Musk is an idiot on an almost inconceivable scale. He had his high-school toadies pull a random list from a database he doesn’t understand, and on that basis alone decided that 60 MILLION SOCIAL SECURITY ENROLLEES, out of 72 million total, are fraudulent. 83% fraudulent!
After several delays, @DOGE has finally posted its purported savings. Why did it take so long to create a simple webpage with a 1000-row table? Who knows! Let's dig in.
Headline number: $55B saved. They list the savings per nixed contract. This should be easy to verify then.

I just cried with relief. Finally, things can look up in Toronto again. Give this opportunity all you've got @oliviachow - use those strong mayor powers for good!
BREAKING: Progressive stalwart Olivia Chow will be Toronto's next mayor, the CBC News decision desk projected Monday, elected in a stunningly tight race that saw former councillor Ana Bailão come in a close second. https://t.co/UnvTNtKSt7
@dpullen17 But the initial ask to the Archives if I could actually go in and see them or if I had to submit through FOI took the Archives months to respond to - so if you think you'll need to submit, just go ahead before asking!
@dpullen17 I found the record numbers of the files that I suspected they were a part of on the Archives of Ontario website and then filed the FOI noting exactly what I was looking for. The Archives sent me them relatively quickly after the FOI submission.
@MarianBWood Omg!! June 1st?! I am absolutely out of it - I didn't realize when it was coming. Well, everything else is going to be a write off for a few days.
@cbgenealogy Also, my g-aunt stayed at my dad's home while on probation. It didn't go well for her and she was sent back after a few months. He was 6 at the time, but I wonder if the older siblings remember.
Feeling emotional today, #AncestryHour. Just received the psychiatric files of a g-great uncle & great-aunt. Both were diagnosed with "schizophrenia". Uncle was admitted for 8 yrs, but my aunt was a patient for 20 yrs, both at the Ontario Hospital Kingston, aka Rockwood Asylum.
@cbgenealogy I'm just about to share the details with my aunts and uncles - very curious about what they'll say! In my g-aunt's notes (450+ pages!), they note no other similar family history, but her uncle has been admitted, too!
@LVChristensen That's what I'm worried about seeing, too! Sifting through my g-aunt's 450+ page file will take time, but it seems for both (so far thankfully) they lived a calm, ordered life there, with activities to keep them busy.
