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.
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 ...
It'd be much easier if they wore their DEI/WOKE badges...
Wouldn't veterans say that would be the size of the medal bar on their chests, sir? (Not every service ribbon is created equal, either.
I'm not allowed to joke about that, but the vets here haven't yet, so fuck it.)

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).
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.
“It is usually futile to try to talk facts and analysis to people who are enjoying a sense of moral superiority in their ignorance.”
@elonmusk
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.
But but but...it says on X (owned by Musk) that it happened! Isn't that evidence enough to prove that it actually happened?!?!

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.
