Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]
The difference is that in businesses like that the bottom line impacts the stock price, leader bonuses and the CEO comp package. You can always go back next year and hire more people or adjust goals or buy back slightly less stock or have lower dividends. Edit: and to be clear there is NO data driven decision process that says it's better for a company to fire some huge percent of their employees across the board without considering quality and importantance to the company. And PwC, McKinsey, etc cant produce research that says that either. The only comparison here I can think of would be to lower the tax burden on all Americans. BUT that's not their stated goal, because they don't have one and they don't give a fuck about reducing taxes. There's no "winning" this because both of them uniquely are set to profit, personally and professionally, from less government. More than almost anyone else who could have that job/role. All anyone has to do is take a slightly critical look at the situation to see they aren't serious - and I know you know that. They are taking the most obvious, laziest possible way to get to what sets them up personally for success and aren't even trying to make things better for *anyone* else across the board - which they could both easily do. Modernizing NASA and the FDA would be a benefit to anyone and everyone who touches either of those industries. Firing a bunch of the workforce makes it more profitable for people already invested in those industries and makes it pretty clearly worse for those who touch the pharma industry - which is basically everyone in this country at some point in their lives. But hey - they profit personally and professionally from it so who cares from their standpoint.

They were so concerned about it they have spent their entire adult life talking about it - right? Vivek finished Yale law a decade ago. Surely there is a ton of comments about him being the "government spends too much" guy since then, right? Nope. No talk when he was president about reducing foreign aide, changing military, and wants to actually expand into Taiwan to protect them. He didn't offer any actual cost cutting ideas while president outside of getting rid of 75 percent of federal employees which does nothing to actually make any system more efficient. Cutting that much staff does NOTHING to make a system more efficient, in fact across the board cuts make things less efficient almost anywhere. You aren't changing processes or modernizing - you aren't cutting back the under growth, instead you are just clear cutting down the entire forest to reduce the likelihood of forest fires and leading to a million other issues. Musk is so worried about the ~20 billion in federal subsidies his companies have gotten that he has paid it back out of his vast fortune, right? He's been interested in making all of his companies more effort for his whole career, right? That's why he made himself, the CEO of a company who has more than 100,000 employees, have to sign off on every single hire the company made. That's efficient, right? When your company is shitting the bed financially - which make no mistake they absolutely are - instead of quadrupling down on the business and working even harder to turn it around, he purchased a social media company and has spent countless hours on it. That's not even considering the incredible number of hours he's played on Diablo, literally this year he said he played 14 straight hours and is currently one of the top 20 players in a game that's one of the grindiest games ever. Sure sounds like he cares about efficiency in business to me. Funny enough these people's entire plan is to basically fire everyone that works for the government. Not reduce waste in process, not modernize, not apply Lean 6 Sigma concepts, not get rid of low performers, not add in AI, not centralize the business - just across the board axing of people - Vivek wants to do it based on if your SSN ends in an even or odd number. Both them, and you, are not serious people and are not serious about reducing government spending. Estimates are that employer costs - including military plus other federal employees - make up about 10 percent of the total budget. Haven't seen either of these guys who are "so interested" in the government's financial state talk about the 73 percent of spending that is social security, Medicare, etc and adjusting that. Instead of that chunk they want to focus on the 23 percent that make up discretionary spending, and almost half of that is military or veterans benefits - which they also don't want to touch. So they focus on ~12 percent of spending out of the whole pie instead of the actual large chunks. These guys have billions and billions between them and they can't spare any money to pay someone to actually come up with ways to review programs across the board to make things more efficient? Not even in the sandboxes they play in (FDA and NASA?) - not at all in the last DECADE? Not in the last four years when the president was from the other party and they could use this to attack him? Not even when one of them ran for president? Not. Serious. People.

Just to be clear...the food is absolutely good. We don't need you to say it for it to be true. Honestly you saying it's not good probably means they go up to another star next time

Texas Recruiting Notes 2025: Duck Around and Find Out

I think there's a difference between their very first run of it (heavy pepper, light lemon) then the second run when they first came out that had some more sweet to it to these. Loved the first run. Havent enjoyed any since- Texas Getting Michelin Star Ratings in 2025

Buying more cueros, that's a super hot deal for 90 bucks or 110 for the round toes- Surly Dad Thread
Good! Then don't worry about it Batwing / velcro swaddle, then those inside straps, then the snoo zip thing is what we had to do to keep them from . breaking out- Surly Dad Thread
Snoo is hard just DON'T GIVE UP It takes a while for them to get their circadian rhythm but once they do and sleep 8+ hours consistently it's so so so worth it. Do you guys do the double swaddle? Some of the velcro ones inside the snoo one?.made a gigantic difference for both of ours!- San Antonio
They opened in 2013, they moved to current location in 2021 You aren't paying for San Antonio food you dunce. It's a rotating menu based on the food of Mexican states during specific time periods. This isn't a fucking food truck next to a bar. You also don't understand what a tasting menu is, clearly. I may have to actually to put you on mute. This isn't complex.- Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]
Calling yourself the "first buddy" by choice is the most cringe worthy shit ever- San Antonio
Genuinely, I'm not sure what to tell you. Mixtli has been open for more than a decade. They have gotten a ton of nominations and awards nationally since they opened. Locally, Sutter literally named them his #1 in SA in 2024. Sorry the concept of a tasting menu is something you can't comprehend, for what it's worth Pujols has the same concept. Also, sorry the idea of dropping big dollars on a premium experience blows your mind. Welcome to the world of fine dining. It's clear that high end and fine dining isn't your wheelhouse, and that's absolutely OK. But shitting on a place you haven't ever heard of, that's been open for more than a decade and is extremely highly thought of says a lot more about you than you think it does.- Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]
Comparing a cybertruck to an AP shows you somehow know less about vehicles than you do watches, and have horrific taste all the way around.- San Antonio
You didn't even know one of the pretty universally recognized best restaurants in San Antonio existed. It has nothing to do with cost.- Yellowstone
Someone said it's at the best when it's a cowboy hangout, that's what I'm hoping 6666 is.- San Antonio
They don't serve sloppy joes and sysco french fries, so they probably aren't going to match up with your palate.- Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]
