- Why are we subsizing Apple when they have $200B in cash laying around?
Repatriate and give them sme tax credit.
- When even your secret programs have to do marketing. Don’t cancel me bro!
- > That item says DOGE canceled a contract of almost $8 billion with D&G Support Services for services provided to Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Investigative reporting from the New York Times revealed that the contract was valued at only $8 million.
I guess it's better these geniuses aren't working on FSD.
- The first rule of opposition should be to not embrace the conspiracy memes of your opponents.
- Sykes-Picot agreements weren't just for your great grandparents.
- People are finally getting acclimated to the crash rates we were used to back in the old days.

WEX/Display builder/etc: Even when I was there my young peers weren't too keen on legacy/back-end understanding. GUIs were the cool thing. I worked on something that touched many legacy subsystems so got to work with a lot of "dinosaurs" (what the Pirates called them).
MCC testing was all AM shift, pirates/youts up front, retired controllers in the back. Test MOC took 30 minutes to recycle. I always sat in back if they'd let me.
- I’ll bet DOGE could code up an auction system in no time. Or turn it over to Ticketmaster. Think of the profits.
- This is usually doable until it's DEWS/SAGE radar code from the 50's. That's what NASA started with and the last guy died in the 90s. We got every other subsystem off the mainframe, but had to keep it around for the radar stuff until 2004 or so.
- They have to orbit ~1600 Kupiers by summer 2026 per their FCC license.
I’m sure President Musks FCC director will be ameanable.
- This guy would never have an agenda
- You can always go to Cerner and buy Larry a new yacht.
- paypal brought us freedom.
- That’s by congressional design. Don’t blame the mainframe.
DOGE just shut down the auto prepare because gov’t is bad and wasteful.
- The IMF and BMF aren’t just software. They’re the code in tax code. It’s the law, not the printed thing in a binder.
If you have the gall to question IMF behavior vs printed tax code and write it up internally, you will get a reply from an tax code analyst in a couple of months from WV explaining why you’re wrong, selections from code, selections from IRS legal interpretations, applicable court cases past, present and pending.
It’s all very polite, but you quickly realize they’re lawyers and you aren’t.
- The 1040EZ was being OCR’d forty years ago.
It doesn’t scale to 1040s and schedules because today’s biologics don’t know how to write anymore.
- Why update what isn’t broken?
- If only the techies would listen to reason and move to Houston. They would be so much happier. Why live somewhere that you hate so much?

I keep thinking I'm going crazy until Rick Beato explains that yes, I am just an RNN Meat Popsicle and the world is interpolated:
- The Navy, especially carriers, operate like that drunk guy in a powerboat. With their lights and AIS off.
A destroyer isn’t going to help much when you’re trying to run over a bulk carrier.
- You're not being thick. It's Rothchilds run USAID who control Apple/Amazon crazy.
- "Our research offers an extremely promising clue, suggesting that the virus may have been triggered by the rare Sennetsu fever, possibly transmitted through consuming raw or undercooked gray mullet fish infected with trematodes or by individuals infected with glanders. This finding naturally connects to the seafood markets and supply chains, offering new etiology insights into the origins of SARS-CoV-2."
- Loneliness is almost as old as Eternal September.

- Sigh. What Norman Mailer said.
Someone should make a movie where Cuban snipers, Anti-Castro snipers, CIA snipers, KGB snipers, Mob snipers, Oswald and whatever conspiracy is hip today are all in Dealey Plaza shooting at each other and JFK gets hit by ricochets.
RFK Jr’s daddy literally put Oswald’s first assasination target into a mental asylum: https://engelsbergideas.com/reviews/edwin-walker-deep-state-...
Bet you’ve never heard that one.
- Couldn't the prior actions and TikTok be taken as precedents for a National Security takeover? Put it under DOGE?
- When I want advice on debt I always prefer it from a realtor politician.
I predict weird nuclear and space proposals in the next few years.
