    The conflicts of interest are going to be egregious with this

    Maybe Carnegie could be in charge of NLRB and Vanderbilt Secretary of Transportation

    So we should just let whatever junk someone makes be sold?
    Sorry Chinese electronics generally suck. As heavy as cars rely on them there needs to be some testing.

    Beautiful, so glad I bought 5 figures worth years ago when it was just a couple of cents. Now if SHIB can follow the same path, look out.

    Efficiency is fine with me. Republicans do this time to time and find a $200 hammer they parade around. Then they start finding out their donors are into the government for trillions and it all dies. We will see. There is a reason the budget blows up under republicans.

    We will eliminate government inefficiencies..... By creating and staffing a whole new government department with multiple heads!

    Quite the irony, at least on its face...

    Because without the subsidy, some people won't purchase what some people would like you to purchase.

    So... creating two new government jobs is big government? One would think a refinement of attack methods might be in order as it didn't work out so well last week.

    Blocked him yesterday. First person I've ever blocked in 20 years of being here. Never interacted with him a single time. Don't even know if he posts. Got tired of logging on and seeing him neg rep every post I've made. Weirdo

    Pretty sure you'll still see his ratings. There's one pathetic guy here that I blocked a year ago who still neg reps most of my posts. I blocked him because he was stalking me. He's still stalking, but at least I don't have to read his angry posts.

    Do you think its really just 2 people? If it is then they wont be doing much of anything. Elon spends like half the day gaming and posting, not doing work.

    If you wanted government efficiency, you sure weren't gettin' it from Kamala. Over $1 billion raised for her campaign and they're in debt? Meanwhile Trump raised far less and had a surplus leftover. Gee I wonder which of the two are better qualified to reign in government spending?

    Well given Trump's history of not reigning in spending and greatly increasing the deficit, I'd say neither of them are better qualified to reign in spending. If you think Trump is actually going to reduce the deficit I've got some ivermectin to sell you.

    Or we can just not do it, like the last 9 POTEII, and make damn sure the spending continues to skyrocket...

    (which I imagine, would tickle the cockles of your commie heart...). :p
