Elon, aka Office of Personnel Management, aka S.H.I.T.H.E.A.D.:

We encourage you to find a job in the private sector as soon as you would like to do so. The way to greater American prosperity is encouraging people to move from lower productivity jobs in the public sector to higher productivity jobs in the private sector.

Damn dude, this is so awesome, I’ve literally never been tied to this fuck through even consumption and now I have him pulling on my chains, at the best possible time cursed-woog

quick question what has military ever produced? negative productivity leeches, just consuming and consuming

We need to start framing the military as an inefficient and wasteful cost the same way they frame healthcare.

"What if the government abuses their free use of the military and they don't really need it?"

"We don't want to give the Pentagon handouts, they'll become dependent and won't have an incentive to work!"

"They're just taking they money and using it to buy drugs and alcohol!"

"Year over year there's no profit, they're always in the red! Spending all this time on indoctrination that they call "training", how hard can it be, just aim and pull the trigger!"

It's already framed that way with 50000 toilets and whatever the fuck, just nobody has the balls of trump and opportunity to say it in debate

Pretty sure an average lefty with fair debate skills could wipe the floor with him.

I guess this is the exception to my comment about the public sector being more efficient than the private sector. The military single-handedly dragging those numbers to the opposite end of the scale.

What’s up with conflating all government workers as intelligence operatives and military personnel?

Plus we all know which parts of the government are absolutely not getting cut by melon-musk

They’re integral to the operation of private enterprise. It may be a sub conscious understanding, but they are very well aware that the “value” produced in the private sector is entirely enabled by the military, so they inherently give it a pass. Plus all the propaganda that makes people feel good and not terrified when an F-16 screams overhead in your city.

Exciting new ways to crash aircraft, if the news is anything to go by
