These are corrupt sale and leaseback schemes in the making, one assumes. Perhaps Jared Kushner will actually make money on a property deal for once

made a quick flow chart about taking actions against this administration
With Stephen Miller’s knowledge of the federal apparatus, Katie Miller’s contacts on Capitol Hill, and the couple’s good standing among Trump loyalists, coupled with Musk’s relentless ambition and effectively infinite resources, made the scale of the DOGE government takeover possible.
Read now:
NEW: Stephen and Katie Miller—he's "the prime minister," sources say; she's DOGE's comms guru—liaise between the White House and Elon Musk, and are centrally involved as he tears the government apart.
The inside story by @jakelahut.writes.news
The agency was scheduled to make a final decision on whether to start paying Verizon for the contract next month, said one of the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly. Instead, Musk’s team determined the job should go to Starlink, the person said. But the process for unwinding a contract and awarding it to another company is lengthy and has not been followed in this case so far, the person said. Several senior FAA officials have refused to sign paperwork authorizing the switch, according to the person, who has been briefed on the internal deliberations and resulting fallout, so Musk’s team is now seeking help from the acting administrator of the agency, Trump appointee Chris Rocheleau, and Duffy.
This sort of comic book corruption is quite literally illegal in every single country in the world that has written laws. I don't even know what else you say about this, it's amazing
DoJ: I'm like super sorry but that word is illegal now
Trump take egg AND Trump crash plane.
There are two different concepts of "efficiency" that are in inherent tension:
On the business side, "efficiency" means the most productivity/value produced for the least amount of resource expenditure.
On the consumer side, "efficiency" means SHIT WORKS THE WAY I NEED IT TO WHEN I WANT IT TO.
I understand and appreciate the sentiment I do but thats not what it means either. The idea of being aware of systemic racism being made a byword by the right only to be sanitized as general good heartedness demonstrates how concepts are drained of vigor.

dunno why we are debating elon musk's intelligence when we all fucking saw him play elden ring with two shields and flasks removed from quick pouch
Maybe hating on dick bosses is the great unifier, the thing that brings all Americans together.
In 2014, a Google engineer launched a petition proposing a national referendum. The first two points? 1. Retire all government employees with full pensions. 2. Transfer administrative authority to the tech industry.
What a difference a decade can make!
I honestly think the most viable way to wake up America is tell people "Elon Musk is coming for your snacks."
When people ask what I want our elected democrats to do, it’s this. Speak clearly, don’t mince words, engage in civil disobedience. Have half the integrity of this guy.
You could never do this post today, no one has access to that many eggs
Brian Eno's "Ambient 1" only sold 10,000 copies, but everyone who bought it went on to start an airport.
Panama’s deputy foreign minister, Carlos Ruiz-Hernández, said at a news conference on Thursday that Panama and the United States were adhering to international protocols in their treatment of migrants. Lawyers in Panama say it is illegal to detain people without a court order for more than 24 hours. Yet roughly 350 migrants deported by the United States on three military planes have been locked in a soaring, glass-paneled hotel, the Decapolis Hotel Panama in Panama City, for nearly a week, while officials ready a camp near the jungle. Armed guards prevent any of the deportees from leaving the hotel. Several of them are children.
"construction begins on US funded concentration camp in the Panamanian jungle, far away from prying eyes" is so ghoulish and it's just another news story that will get lost in the chaos
