“Everything that USAID does is a lie”

I'm glad Musk is exposing the atrocious and frivolous spending our nation does so GD well. Trim the fvcking fat from the steak, Elon!!!
The rumors of allocating millions and millions of dollars in rubbers for some Muslim to screw his 3 wives offends the hell out of me!!

FACT FOCUS: No evidence that $50 million was designated by the US to buy condoms for Hamas
President Donald Trump claimed during the Laken Riley Act signing that his administration had “identified and stopped $50 million being sent to Gaza to buy condoms for Hamas.”

“USAID procures condoms for around $0.05 apiece,” he wrote. “$50m would be ONE BILLION condoms. What’s going on here is NOT a billion condoms for Gaza. What’s going on is that the bros at DOGE apparently can’t read govt spreadsheets.”

Here’s a thought. Why is USAID, hell the entire Federal government, in the business of buying condoms at all?
AIDs has been running rampant in Africa now for what? 50 years? If we’re not going to address the ass sex and prostitution that proliferates it, why are we spraying a water pistol on a five alarm fire?
Same with Gaza. Hell, they’re experiencing “genocide” they need births.
I'm all for trimming fat. I think what Musk is doing is great. No complaints.
Can you guarantee that Musk will be net neutral to government spending? How much will H1Bs cost over the long run, ect.?
That’s the crux. People think he’s going to start awarding himself massive government contracts. I’m sure he might get some contracts, but he deserves them, his companies are the best at what they do.
If Musk is really going to self-serve it will be from a regulatory scaleback. And it will be hard to splice which regulations really did need to be pared, and which he is doing out of self-interest.
Then wouldn't it be prudent to slow down and let things play out? Someone said the shitlibs were up in arms. I don’t see it here. Do you? Maybe I'm a shitlib, maybe I'm not. I'm not up in arms. Good for us.
He wants to fire people making 100k, so he can hire immigrants and pay them 50k. Don't lose sight of that. That's a big reason why we're where we're at.
There is no one making 50k at Musk’s companies. Maybe janitorial, even then I doubt it.
That assumes they are being brought in to replace a like for like employee. Which, while there are some sob stories I’m sure are true, isn’t usually the case.
The posts on here related to this topic seem to be sob stories. How do you know this is the case? Shrinking the tax base of any single job by 50% doesn’t sound like a winning formula...I think MAGA would agree with me.
How do you defend allowing corporations hiring foreign workers for half the cost? I think Disney was the example used here. They apologized for having their American workers train their Indian replacements. Do you have a different set of numbers to use?
H1B’s may be paid less on average, although the 50% figure is straight from your rectum.
Sponsoring and H1B is extremely costly, that is accounted for in the hires wages. Once more, the company has to make a long term commitment to the employee.
The idea of readily available domestic replacements is a fallacy. No company goes through the H1B process for convenience and cost cutting.
You all still don't get it. Your obfuscation is total willful disregard to truth! TOTAL, WILLFUL because it's your team spending MY (and millions of your fellow Americans) Money against their choice. AND not only that, KNOWING that the American public does not approve, so YOU/ THEY find a way totally around and absent of of transparency to pull off you GD scam. The biggest key component, willfully develop somthing totally born of the DARK !!!!!
If this exercise didn't hurt the LEFT (and swamp ass rino's), you all would have ZERO interest in it at all. That is the biggest tell here! If YOU hate it, that means we are over the proper target! TRUTH to how OUR $$ is being spent against our will!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, keep fighting while on your back, scratch like a cat!!!! The longer you fight Truth, the more we can fix!
We don't need focus groups, Dems and aloha provide their battle damage assessments, thank you for the help. (Dream team, I probably shouldn't have let them know we know this, should I ? my bad)
Um, the H1B publicized/ mandated wage is much less than hiring an American, right? Then their is an auto 7.5% deduction that the employer doesn't have to pay for SS. I just listened to a podcast, like 2 hours ago, H1B hires are 30%-40% less than hiring an American, when all taxes, burdens, benefits, regulations and burdens are calculated in.

I welcome cutting waste. I don't think that the verifiably GOOD things they do ought to be halted by a total shutdown, though. They distribute antimalarial and HIV meds in dirt poor areas. They buy mosquito nets for beds / cots in poor villages. They have nearly eradicated the parasitic disease called river blindness. They provide aid to battered women in areas where battering women is sadly accepted practice. Yes, they provide contraception to desperately poor people who want it. And 100 other GOOD things.
Cut waste, sure. But intelligently.

It's been posted on this forum. I promise I'm not making it up, or pulling it out of my ass. If you have information to the contrary please post it.
It was Disney. They fired their workers after they trained their H1B replacements. And don't forget Disney was one of the first companies to switch to guest workers in '91. So, there is a canary in the coal mine feel to this.
And to be clear, this won't just be Tesla et al. Elon is not the crux of the point I'm making. It will be much broader, just like before. And it won't be long before your buddies are pointing to the percentage of income taxes paid by the top 1% has gone up.
Tell him, Joe. When you and I are on the same side, people better f'n listen.
I'm old enough and wise enough to leave this alone. Read it again. Understand your's and other's misplaced hubris.
WE may have the same data, or at least kinda similar. But I'm not sure that it means the same thing to the both of us. Funny thing about human use of date, we can still form our own agendas.
Having said that, Lets find a way that it means the same thing to both of us.
SEE, I can be a sarcastic ass hat, and still hope for the best for everyone.........who are willing to help themselves!
Or, and hear me out on this one, people are just making random shit up, and the lemmings are falling for it because it gives them an outrage boner.
I am as well. I'm not claiming any special knowledge. I just think it's premature for a victory lap, especially given the participants.
Some of it is a scam…and a blatant one at that. To the tune of 100s of millions of dollars
Show me examples that exist in dry, boring data. Not partisan hackery masquerading as thought on social media.
East-west initiative in Albania. Others like that around the world and at home
As that alone doesn't at least raise some level of suspicion.
The best place to hid something is RIGHT OUT IN THE OPEN ! And they know it. Who doesn't!
I'd like (hate) to believe you, but.
Just another reason to hold a grudge against Goat!
