I kept asking this question because I am familiar with contracts, and it made no sense.
Even if all the funds aren’t fully obligated, you still have to settle with the contractor if you terminate a contract for convenience. They likely have supplies or comtract related overhead you need to pay for, so the savings will be minimal… Oh and in a lot of cases it means you have paid a bunch of money for no benefit if the project gets scrapped.
There will be Turkey eggs soon, don’t worry.
In my opinion that’s actually only one of two possible outcomes, knowing the personalities and philosophies of those in power.
He either becomes de-facto leader of the US or he pisses off Trump and other Money and goes to jail. The minute Elon loses support from the right he crashes and burns spectacularly. Pisses off Trump too much and its game over for him.
It’s like the entire white collar industry. I think they think it’s beneath them, and they think they will be special.
The ractopamine fed to pigs, turkey and cattle is scary.
The chargers themselves aren’t super expensive in the grand scheme of the project. It’s the prep and grounds work that’s expensive… You’re on the right track, just a little off.
What they do is give the removal contract to their friend who inflates the cost, that’s the real money.
FOIA was awful already. Your lucky if there is a real FOIA coordinator and in a lot of places it just takes the time away from someone’s (potentially important) essential function.
But they are not. They are cancelling contracts where they have to pay damages, laying off people who probably were retiring anyway for a half year and paying them. None of that saves money
It wouldn’t even matter if it was spoken of. 60 Minutes could do a ground breaking show based off the entire thing, that goes viral. But at best viewership might drop for a month or so before everyone forgets about it or dismisses it entirely.
You cannot allow blatant propoganda like Fox. Maybe not ban them, but make laws to hold all media to a much higher standard and then sue the shit out of them when they lie. If they lie, they have to lead with a segment that retracts the lie, apologizes and then tells the truth for a couple days.
You could use the fines to fund independent media that has no or less bias.
Everyone seems to have a cup plunger made for sinks next to their toilet instead of a toilet plunger near their toilet.
A toilet plunger has flanges:
I have seen this plunger close to zero times when visiting people and using their bathroom.
It will actually be fascinating if he just tells Musk to turn off payment somehow. Who would do business with the government at that point?
