Sorry but those people deserve to be fired because nobody should get to have a cool job that i have to pay for
I bet the janitors at the nuke place make like 200k
All these feds are complaining about losing their dream jobs, they should put on their brown sack cloth robe and get down in the mud with us tax payers and realize that there’s no such thing as a dream job and all work should be miserable. I’m glad Trump is shutting down the adult day care known as the federal government

Laugh all you want, but DOGE removed and corrected many of these claims after the reporting was done.
It's been incredibly rushed and sloppy so far. If you're going to do it, do it right.

Almost like the government
Except the government is slow and sloppy

Pretty standard operating procedure for cost cutting, though, you'd obviously like certain areas to get a bit of a scalpel approach.

Cutting jobs sure, but not cutting jobs you don't even realize are critical.
Again, in any actual well run company, these people would likely have been fired for these types of missteps. My stakeholders would be after my head for sloppy reporting and firing people when I don't even know what they do and what they're needed for.

Quickest and greatest of recessions around here folks. We only have the best of recessions.

I am still down $67,000 from 2/15, not over yet.

How do you define "critical?"
This is Elon's (and I assume other owners as well) method. They theorize if you didn't cut someone that has to be rehired, you left meat on the bone, and the company is worse off over time because of that.
I'm not saying you should run your company this way, I'm not even saying it "works" but you shouldn't tell others it's somehow inherently flawed either.

If there's one saying that's never lost any wisdom, it's "measure twice, cut once".

I am not celebrating as much as I mocking the doom and gloom over reaction since the market paused going straight up and the end of the world was here. We are 24 hours into end of the world tariffs and basically the day the tariffs got implemented was a wash if not green. No one should be up every single day in the market. That’s not how it works. A small dip does not mean it’s the end times and all policies are garbage the first day of implementation.

It’s been a regular trail of tears at the Jewish Indian casino this week

If anybody's got ideas for puts I'd be interested because I'm not seeing any premiums I really like at the moment.

Yes Biden had many great ideas. Probably still does. We should as him, oh wait, has anyone seen him???

Could this be the carry trade unwinding?

Do you mean the yen vs dollar denominated assets? I think that got unwound months ago. Remember that 800 pt. drop in Aug? That was the catalyst.
I think uncertainty over tariffs, a weaking economy, massive budget deficit and a report last night from the CBO telling Congress the budget propsal they want isn't possible without Medicaid and Medicare cuts. Throw in rotation out of AI and you got headwinds.
