Tesla mogul will head up Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) with Vivek Ramaswamy, to ‘dismantle bureaucracy and slash regulations’
We’re living in the Idiocracy. It’s not the future, its now.
…and slash regulations. I know this has always been their goal but damn. He doesn’t even need anything more, he has almost everything money can buy, and he thought, “ok, I have to try to buy the government”.
This is beginning to sound a lot like Cyberpunk. Corporations act like governments while NUSA takes a backseat.
Mike Pondsmith just extrapolated the trends he saw in the society - corporatism, drugs, plastic surgeries, stress, crime, prostitution. He just pushed these things to the extreme and put in scifi setting. This isn’t just Trump thing, this is happening for decades now.
c/PondsmithWasRight? Anyone?
When you have this much money, the life is just a game
You know how when you cheat in video games to give yourself unlimited money and then go do whatever the fuck you want all the time because it doesnt matter? That’s life as a billionaire.
Nothing, and i mean nothing is off-limits.Nah, this is somewhat of exaggeration. You still work within the legal framework.
It’s true that with money comes power, but it’s not a god mode.
still work within the legal framework
LMAO
In all fairness, the US had defunct laws from the 1700 on the books no one bothered to repeal… guess which laws will now be used by the Trump administration.
The fact these laws where still on the books just proves their point… they will just now eliminate laws they don’t like… like child labor laws.
Well he can build rockets faster than he can get approval to launch them.
Because launching a rocket isn’t without consequence. Shouldn’t just launch willy nilly every day because you have it, there are other factors (environment, structural damage, etc)to consider which he does not care about.
For a good reason. Approvals are thorough because they are the accumulation of our learnings throughout the decades and centuries.
I don’t know if you’re meaning to justify his actions or what, but let’s not do that justification thingy when it’s completely unjustified.
Are you fucking kidding me? The US is ruled by memes now. How long until they reach out to Scumbag Steve or Success Kid?
Business cat
Let me blurt it out here, people: you are looking at your next president. And I am aware that, currently, by law, a non american can not be elected for office.
yet
By law, neither can an insurrectionist, but here we are.
Wtf is up with this timeline?
We’re in the one where Biff takes the Almanac back to the past.
Creating a second department to do something there already is a department for so you can have funni name is peak efficiency.
Sir, thats the government accountability agency… thats the first one to be axed.
And two heads instead of one? Peak efficiency!
Isn’t this kinda a conflict of interest
Pretty sure having one or more conflicts of interest is a requirement for Republicans and their allies.
Wait until you realize that it’s not just Republicans….
