Elon Musk says federal employees must report 'what they got done last week' or lose jobs
That's meaningless without criteria for productivity. Not all metrics are created equal.
This is actually good news for my son-in-law (works for the Bonneville Power Administration) who can spend some time bragging about what we did last week especially in light of the two old been there forever fucks who hate each other and had to separated...again.
But it is unnerving...and the upshot is the danger of throwing out the baby with the bathwater. You're going to lose talented young people who might end being experienced leadership for the next generation of workers, not just at BPA but across the Federal system.
He works for the Federal Government? By default that makes him a lazy worthless leech. You actually allowed your daughter to marry this freeloader? What an embarrassment that must be to you and all of your extended family.
But seriously, do you think anyone at DOGE is actually going to read any of those responses? Like I said, just another shiny object to make the MAGAtverse think that they’re doing something constructive.

Yeah, that is fucked up.
Again though, Trump is a jewish supremacist not a white supremacist. Trump just demonstrates that jewish supremacy comes in two different flavors, depending on the grift. The very same day, he created a position for a black woman who had previously received life in prison under the Biden crime bill for the number of kilos she was caught pushing.
I think all of Trump's 'fuck yous' have a pattern, Roux.
Trump appears to value personal loyalty above all other metrics. If only he weren't MIGA ...

Many companies don't even read applications anymore. You're right: no one in DOGE is going to read the responses. It's all going to be fed to AI to 'read'.
Because of that, it also presents a possible security and intelligence breech. Without any criteria or guidelines for what constitutes 'accomplishment', folks who are forced to do this will reveal shit which isn't supposed to be revealed about their departments.
I think that may be a partial reason Kash Patel immediately told his new agents to ignore Elon's/DOGE's directive. I don't know, though.
All of that to say, Israel wants to control AI. AI is becoming really good at predicting output from input. Elon is compromised by Israel. Kash isn't, yet (that we know of).
Don't trust Israel.

When asked for comment, the White House provided an email statement from Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt citing a 2024 investigation that found the Social Security Administration made about $71.8 billion in improper payments out of almost $8.6 trillion in benefits paid from fiscal years 2015 to 2022.
Notably, deceased beneficiaries were one of multiple reasons that may prompt improper payments, according to the report from the Social Security Administration Office of the Inspector General.
“The Social Security Administration is now working to find even more waste, fraud and abuse in the Administration’s whole-of-government effort to protect American taxpayers,” Leavitt said in the emailed statement.
This week, acting Social Security commissioner Michelle King stepped down over reported concerns over DOGE access to sensitive data at the agency. In a new statement released Wednesday, Lee Dudek, who is now acting commissioner, said the agency plans to prioritize transparency and protect benefits and information.
“The reported data are people in our records with a Social Security number who do not have a date of death associated with their record,” Dudek said. “These individuals are not necessarily receiving benefits.”
The Social Security Administration did not respond to requests for further comment.

We are increasingly optimistic that, as the immense waste & fraud are eliminated from Social Security & Medicare that there is potential to increase actual dollars received by citizens & better healthcare!
Maybe Biden DIDN'T cure Medicare.

Seer, the SSA receives death information from several sources, including funeral homes, obituaries, and state offices of vital records.
I'm curious as to how much of that $71.8B in improper payments has already been collected. My guess is a significant amount.
Still waiting on a documented case where benefits were paid to someone who was 256 years old.

Really like this. It will be difficult if not impossible to get the cult members to admit that they were wrong. So there has to be an easier way for them to escape the cult.
They have put their identity with the cult, which is why it is so hard for them to acknowledge the craziness of this Administration. But admitting that they were lied to, that is easier because it doesn't force them to admit guilt.
And it is a nice starting point for moving beyond this insane chapter in our nation's history.

Why are you so adamant about seeing a document that shows someone that old got SSN benefits?
Oh I forget, you are in an echo chamber that believe all of the entitlements will be taken away.
Right now they are combing what's known as a DATABASE, showing info in the aggregate.
Even if you were to see a document you wouldn't believe it anyway.
Don't you like identifying waste that would benefit you?
What warped, pretzel logic.

Waste and corruption?
I've seen things mentioned that billionaires and President Krasnov don't like.
Of course, who is for waste and corruption? Nobody.
But as the saying goes, one man's trash is another man's treasure. One man's waste is another man's treasured program that helps many people.
If there's something specific, I'm happy to discuss it.

So you're saying that you, and only you. pay into the SS trust fund? All you?
If so I'd agree with you, but there is this thing called "your employer" that contributes as well.

Yes, the employer contribution is a component of the total benefits package that the employee earns.
The federal government does not fund Social Security benefits.

Not sure how giving basic, factual information is deflecting, but ok.
Citizens pay into Social Security to fund retirement, disability, and survivor benefits. If by "entitlement" you mean that a citizen has applied for and has proven their right to receive benefits, then yes I agree with you.

If someone else, in addition to the employee, is contributing to funding one's retirement, e.g., employers, then it is an entitlement, full stop.

We're talking semantics.
So what if it is an entitment? Yes, people pay into the system, and then they are entitled to receive benefits.
It appears you are using "entitlement" as something bad. What point are you trying to make?

Your today dollars fund granny’s today retirement.
Baby Huey’s tomorrow dollars fund my tomorrow retirement, hopefully he’s not a complete wastoid.
Nonetheless, it’s a great system and keeps dollars fresh and not prone to risky investments. We deserve to know that our tax dollars are being properly funneled (to granny).

No one said half the country of libs and leftists would all of a sudden get "smart". Wine and scream as the healing continues. When the wars end, the economy rights itself, when the corruption gets exorcised, all you'll lament is your loss of power & influence. But you (currently) still have infection labs ala the "education" industry that will slow reality recognition for the young & naive so keep your faith.
In four years we'll take inventory but til then continue posting your tears and burning hair panic based on manipulated "info" from dying media.

You keep using "corruption." I don't want corruption, nor do any of the rational thinking people here.
Despite your continued use of the word, I have yet to see a single instance of it. Sure, there have been general statements like 'entitlement programs are corrupt.' Merely because there is a program that you do not like does not make that program corrupt.
So where, exactly, is this corruption? Let's prosecute the corrupt and do what is necessary to recover funds.
