re: DOGE savings claims could come back to bite them in the arse

Nobody changed their mind. There wasn't several million fraudulent votes this time.

It then lists several examples and cites savings of $9,999,999 each for two of them. When you click through, you see that number in the “total value of the contract”.

Now, I don’t know for a fact that this entire amount was slated to be spent and they have indeed “saved” it, but if that’s just a “not exceed” number and history with similar contracts shows the actual spend to be a fraction of that, you’ve given the left their ammo.

Yeah, it could be crappy reporting or management of the contract value, and actual savings of even an expected 1 million is good. If you are using this to claim savings of $10 million, though, you’ve enabled the left to cast this all as a bunch of bulllshit.

Again, convincing me of the savings is not the challenge. It’s convincing the low-curiosity voter.

You didn't look through enough postings. Here is a very clear one for you:

Total Contract: $127,398
"Claimed savings": $103,398

They are not just taking total value of contracts to get their numbers.

I will chip in and buy you a ticket to Europe. Please leave this country.

I don't want to bash Musk but obviously he's combining 2 narratives for every thing he "uncovers"

- massive govt fraud
- programs he doesn't like funded by large amounts that are too much

The condom story and social security age story pretty much told me where this is headed - Musk uncovers fraud (not quite "massive" or "most in history") while he tell his followers voters reactionary lies that get debunked in days. instead about reducing the govt its more qanon conspiracies

It is so fricking frustrating that dumbasses like you think all this is an argument that the original initiative is something I oppose. You dipshits do this all the time.

Somebody points out that something could be done better TO ACCOMPLISH THE SAME frickING GOAL, and your walnut brain interprets it as arguing to not do it at all.

I swear to God, how do you get through your day being this fricking stupid? If somebody came into a meeting in my company with this level of idiocy, I’d struggle to not fire them on the spot.

yeah you don't leave money "on the table"
