Tens of thousands of federal workers fired and all the "savings" add up to less than Musk's proposed stock pay package. Some people are too rich

Interesting to read through. They cancelled a dry ice contract at HHS, along with a chemicals contract. would like to see the reasoning why that was cancelled.

everything that is being cancelled is being done to make room for upcoming $4.5T tax cuts :)

And even after that we'll still have to raise the debt ceiling and issue trillions in new debt to pay for those tax cuts.

And after that, the destroyed government will bid out replacements of the destroyed agencies to contractors owned by the oligarchs and we'll pay through the nose for that too.

It's never really been about the debt or deficit. It's exactly what they told us in Project 2025.

This was flagged earlier but I'm not sure why.

So why does it keep getting flagged?

Even those that run the software can't be sure (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43093164). It doesn't have the correct title, it doesn't gratify many people's curiosity (this is an international site), and it aligns with off-topics https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html But after that.. answers on a postcard.
