    Holy crap all I did was post the transcript. Was what he said accurate or not? I don’t care about other dunkers or tweets.

      How about a pat on the back to DOGE for exposing this hilarious retirement mine fiasco? Nobody wants to high five them for that?

      You do realize this mine wasn’t a secret before? Maybe Elon discovered it but it’s not new. Further a former manager of the site said there’s “no elevator that restricts how many files (therefore people) can retire per month. It’s literally on the same level as the entrance.” And there isn’t a cap of 10,000 or 8,000 per month, the mine has nothing to do with the pace of retirements processed each month.”

      Sometimes I feel like Lt. Daniel Kaffee.

            Ok, you think the government was being charged $1,000,000,000 for a one question survey. Got it.

                Mark my words, even if they digitize the entire iron mountain process, it will not change the pace of federal retirements. Btw they said it will only take a couple of months. So let’s check back in the summer to see if it’s done?

                  If it takes a complex analysis to determine whether or not somebody was being honest, he wasn't being honest.

                    I'm on record from the get-go that I'm not optimistic about DOGE, but I appreciate the effort, and I will happily wait and see. The claims have certainly been exaggerated and misleading or dishonest in many cases.

                      Apologies I did see you concluded that Elon lied about the survey cost. I’m a simple man, all I’m talking about are the lies and exaggerations on their quest. Otherwise, I wish them well on the mission.

                        And I do believe their intentions are in the right place. The common notion that they have sinister motivations, is as departed from reality as the worst of their claims.

                            Yeah, that one I agree was a little fanciful. It would take that long to design the system to hold these records digitally. I wonder at what age can they dispose of these records.

                              Let me guess - they found a single government employee responsible for destroying trillions of dollars of wealth?

                                    Also - why have we heard of no arrests or investigations if there’s all this fraud going on?

                                        Also - why have we heard of no arrests or investigations if there’s all this fraud going on?

                                        I think even the DOGE folks probably would admit many of these "fraud" issues are actually legit payments, just connected to data entry issues, such as an incorrect birthdate listed. Although I'm sure there are folks out there who are committing fraud (and should be prosecuted accordingly).

                                        Also to be perfectly clear, most agencies have (for decades) had teams dedicated to finding this type of fraud. And when it's found, it is eliminated, and fraudsters are prosecuted. There just aren't headlines about it.

                                        Oh and Elon's "...thanks to your [Trump's] fantastic leadership..." is really giving me North Korea vibes, ugh.
