the project 2025 stuff has felt far away until now but calling it the department of government efficiency is actually terrifying, it sounds like something you'd hear under nazi germany
edit: I looked into it more and it seems to just be about the government spending/budget but it's annoyingly unspecific, makes me wonder what they're gonna cut first
Almost anyone who has argued for more efficiency in recent years just meant deregulation.
i think it sounds (unironically) like something from 1984, e.g. the "ministry of truth" (censorship department) or the "ministry of peace" (war department)
i'm trying to find what they (project 2025) are intending to rename health and human services. don't find it at the moment but it's definitely some orwellian bullshit. "ministry of life" or something.
edit - department of life
Yep, with the re-election on trump, USA just took a big leap towards the dystopia of 1984
It always at least attempts to be innocent on the surface such that they and their supporters can point to the words whenever someone else shines a light on the shitty actions. I feel like one of them writing that but we have decades and decades of evidence showing just how bad shit like that is gunna get under conservatives soooo…
They won't cut any actual spending, just the benefits from the spending. They'll redirect those funds right into their own pockets.
NASA's budget for R&D is going to be absolutely annihilated. Coincidentally, their spending budget for private contractors isn't going to be. Even more coincidentally, it won't be Blue Origin or Virgin Galactic getting that sweet, sweet government contracts.
Free market! Amiright?
Something will be trickling down on us, but it ain't gonna be money.
Spoiler: it will probably be microplastics and aerisolized lead once they get to the EPA and sell it to "carbon capture" companies.
Shit rolls downhill. Money flows up the ladder.
Maybe OSHA so that he can make his factories as
dangerousefficient as possibleMedicaid and social security. You don’t have to wonder
He's going to take the same approach he did to Twitter. Just up and fire half the employees. He didn't do a detailed analysis, it's just mass firing.
Because there's literally zero fallout for him, ever. He can't fuck up enough to face repercussions. Now that he's got orangishblob backing him he can literally kill a bunch of people without consequences.
