The auto market today? Unreliable vehicles at astronomical prices.

Higher education today? Worthless degrees at sky high tuition rates.

Healthcare today? Chronic symptom management at exorbitant costs.

It’s no coincidence government heavily subsidizes and regulates all three.

This will probably get suppressed, but I don’t care. It’s time.

Elon Musk promised DOGE would save taxpayers $1 TRILLION. But, it actually just paved his path to become a trillionaire. Let’s follow the money.

- “Claimed savings”: Final DOGE claim was $214B saved. The independently verifiable amount was less than 5% of that, not including the actually costs.

Costs
- The firing-and-rehiring churn cost ~ $135B.
- Week one: 17 inspector generals fired who return $26 per $1 spent and catch the very things happening right now with the Trump family ventures, Elon’s ventures, AI, etc.
- They didn’t touch the $850B Pentagon budget that has never passed an audit.
- Also untouched were the $38B in government contracts flowing to Elon.
- Data privacy breaches by DOGE employees

And before you say that he worked for free, he did not have to file a financial disclosure because he "worked for free". This looks more like a workaround.

Elon donated over $290M to Trump’s campaign. The morning Trump was sworn in, Musk's companies faced $2.37B in legal exposure across 11 federal agencies.

Then he was handed power over those same agencies. Inside the first quarter, six of the regulators investigating Elon’s companies were cut, closed, or told to stand down.

So, he spent ~$290M to elect Trump and he left office with his cases dead and SpaceX ~$6B RICHER in NEW defense contracts.
That is not a Department of Government Efficiency.

And as someone who was on the inside when this all went down, the strategy behind finding these contracts was incredibly inefficient and just caused defense contractors, such as Booz Allen Hamilton, to merely change their name from consulting to technology. It merely caused word changes in contracts. Contracts that are bloated and should be cut, weren’t even looked at. And in the end, it cost tax payers exponentially more than it saved, including data privacy,

Just want to call out the reality of how Space X and this shady IPO even came about.

@CapatanEl4662 Figured this was coming at some point…

Can we ensure the shipping container (seems appropriate) “gets lost” along the way?

What’s the deepest part of the Atlantic?

@Heyw00dJablomey @RBANewsRoom @ImMeme0 Maybe she didn’t know. Sounds like it was his Marketplace listing. She should have had listing rules.

Our #1 rule is we always meet people at a gas station. Never give out home address.

#2 rule: nothing is worth your life.

Prepare for different times. This isn’t 1986.

[Builtinakilt @builtinakilt]

Fucking pigs.

(Not all cops are pigs, mind you. But these fuckers are cunty pigs for sure. Shooting a Golden Doodle? Right cunty pigs.)

[Builtinakilt @builtinakilt]

@Heyw00dJablomey @RBANewsRoom @ImMeme0 We should probably start by blaming the man who shot her, right? You mean AFTER his blame, she still has fault for stepping between her son and a gun?

Would you step between a gun and your own kid? I would. Without hesitation.

@ElofsonJess @OwenBenjamin Black knitted cap… shitty beard… where have I seen that before? Oh yeah!

@Smith_WessonInc @SamRubino1 How about putting out some comped slides and barrels for the X?

[Builtinakilt @builtinakilt]

@Smith_WessonInc Two Bucks and an X is my edc most days.

@Veralitra If you’re still voting after Maddie’s loss and Graham’s win, then you still have some thinking to do.

@DerrickEvans4WV If you think it’s just the left, then you still have a long ways to go, son.

@landlord_dave @Mrgunsngear #law you mean. Defending yourself is absolutely required at this point.

[Builtinakilt @builtinakilt]

@Mrgunsngear That influencer is going to get turned into a bill drill when he does that to the wrong (armed) guy.

Carry everywhere. Practice so you can hit what you’re aiming at.

[Builtinakilt @builtinakilt]

The solution is to stop. Stop giving your money to scams you KNOW are scams.

Eventually, they will change their ways or they will shut down.

This is the only true way you can vote in the US anymore.

Paying to park is another scam that’s gotten out of control

I mean look at these parking rates at Seaworld… $42-$67 just to park your car at a place you already bought a ticket to go

This is so out of control in America we even now have to pay to park our cars at hospitals and doctors offices now

It’s outrageous and such a scam. In my opinion it should all be banned

[Builtinakilt @builtinakilt]

@adgirlMM 70% That seems a bit high.

Her name is Luana Zaratti, an Italian bus ticket inspector.

She was 26 when, during one of her shifts, she asked an illegal Egyptian immigrant for his ticket.

He had none. His answer was a violent headbutt straight to her face, so hard it shattered her nasal septum and caused severe head trauma.

Luana collapsed to the ground, blood pouring from her nose.

That single blow destroyed her life.
It left her with permanent brain damage and lifelong disability.

Years bedridden, almost vegetative.
But her willpower pulled her back to a shadow of the life she once had.

The attacker was sentenced to just 14 months in prison, but he never served a single day. He disappeared.

Luana, declared unfit to work, now survives on less than €1,000 a month.

@therealDeFlock All citizens walking around pre-cuffed in the back would sometimes help police, too! You know, just in case one of us breaks the law.

What I don’t get is people filming the deflocking. Leave your fully compromised phones at home, boys.

@libsoftiktok @FBI Punch the wrong guy and you’re gonna get turned into a bill drill.
