DOGE: best thing ever.

Trump DEI.

 

[La Li Lu Le Lo]

But with the DEI initiatives under Trump, there have been no tests of the qualifications of anybody they fired. They just fired them. When you do all that in a week and have a mission of slashing jobs and ridding the country of "DEI" hires, odds are pretty good you might fire some very well qualified people.

I think you are conflating two unrelated things. I don't think those people were fired because of DEI. They were fired because there jobs were not necessary to the efficient running of government services. Banning DEI hiring practices is more of a go foreword. Anyway don't be mad at someone getting rid of something that should never have existed in the first place.

Despite the DOGE chainsaw, the unemployment rate went up .2% That is "point two" percent. Also, were you aware that in the federal government, if an employee has worked there 10 years and transfers to a different department, they are considered probationary employees...and a lot of the jobs that were cut were people who may have taken the job in Trump's first presidency. But all of the cuts were probationary employees.

They probably have not been laid off enough to be counted in the official unemployment numbers but, let's just assume that .2% is based off of new claims on unemployment insurance.

If they were probationary can they even collect unemployment? That is an honest question because I don't know. I can tell you I have worked as a contractor and contracting companies make it difficult to collect unemployment. They state you are not unemployed but "between jobs", and they get away with that BS.

If a probationary employee and a contractor cannot collect unemployment their terminations would certainly have little impact unemployment claims

HOw do you determine who is DEI and who is qualified? How do we know that Harris Faulkner wasn't given the job over a better qualified white male? She seems to kiss Trump's butt as good as any white male reporter at Fox. Or if you are boarding a plane and notice that the captain is a black man. Is he a DEI hire or is he a less qualified black man who got the job over a better qualified white man? Do you feel the same if the left seat is occupied by a black female? If the pilot was a black female and the first officer was white male, and someone told you that one of the pilots failed 3 check rides before they were finally signed off, which pilot would you assume that applied to? And if you really feel that strongly, would you ask to deplane and wait for another flight with a better qualified pilot.

If they can't meet qualification standards without "quota" manipulation propping them up they should be classified as a DEI hire. It really is that simple. The white male really isn't a factor because his qualification standards were not adjusted due to DEI check boxes. In your scenario I would probably assume it was the black female, not because she is black but because DEI and affirmative action exist. If they did not exist that thinking would not cross my mind. As I said before it taints the accomplishments of the people who DO deserve to be there.

Spot...analyze....find.....fire. All in a week. Sorry...not buying that.

You sure?

In 2023 137,394,000 individual tax returns were e-Filed and 161,000,000 in total were estimated to be filed. They processed almost all of those in what.... two months? Consider that an estimated 23,606,000 of those were paper filed. Do you buy that? You should because it happens every year. Seems unbelievable doesn't it?

I think they may make some mistakes using this approach but nothing that can't be remedied later down the line.

Sometimes it is just better to knock the damn house down (fire everybody) and rebuild with quality parts than it is to try to repair junk. Working in a UNION job you of all people should know how difficult it can be to remove rot.

I don't know what you do or what your company does. I have no idea if you are a good worker or not. Would you like for me to bring in some college kids who also had no idea what you did and in the course of one week, analyze your work and determine that your job is either unnecessary, or we terminate you for "poor performance". Becsue that's what Elon did.

Musk Slashes DOGE Savings Forecast by 85%

2 min readElon Musk announced Thursday that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is now targeting $150 billion in federal savings for fiscal year 2026 — dramatically scaling back earlier claims of slashing as much as $2 trillion. Musk initially projected DOGE would deliver $2 trillion...

When I was working - if I reported my "5 points" to prove my worth and was off by 85%, I would likely be terminated for poor performance.

And I ask a simple question that you did not answer....if you board a flight and there were two black females in the cockpit, would you get off the plane? Because you seem to assume that they are being hired to meet a DEI quota.

If you got on a plane and the captain was a black female and the first officer was a white male, and someone told you that one of your pilots failed 3 check rides in the past year, and the other was a decorated military pilot, which one was the ace and which one maybe shouldn't be flying? If the black female was the war hero, under Trump DEI she would have been fired and the guy who failed 3 check rides becomes your captain. But you feel safer.

You have a list of any other people who have attempted to accomplish across the board analysis and savings in all areas of government? Anyone even close to this amount of savings? And why do the dems oppose cutting government waste?

Given the large turnout at protest marches, Trump will declare martial law on April 20 and use the US Milliary against American citizens.

You mean the turnouts in heavy blue cities, where they were caught bussing in people or augmented the turnout with a free concert? Notice they were national protests and didn't do very well except what the media showed you.



The left hires anyone to hold a sign:

Despite the DOGE chainsaw, the unemployment rate went up .2% That is "point two" percent.

It was unexpectedly rising in Biden's last quarter.

How do we know that Harris Faulkner wasn't given the job over a better qualified white male?

She was hired by Fox News in 2005...............well before any DEI initiative. If anything, an affirmative action hiree.

Trump blamed the DCA crash on DEI while bodies were still strapped in their seats at the bottom of a river.

Turned out He was correct. Woman didn't have enough seat time to be doing what she did.

I don't follow CNN as I have heard that they are "fake news". So either they ARE fake news or they AREN'T. Which is it.

Steve Kornacki was doing CNN's political polling, and was pretty accurate. His polls usually highlighted Trump's numbers which differed from other pollsters and he'd explain why. Anyway, they gave him the boot. (not surprisingly) He'll be doing sports polling for NBC.

Have you ever worked with an incompetent and clueless White male?

Yes and he did everything he could to to prevent higher talented subordinates from doing anything remotely connected to his function.

 

[Dog Wonder]

His own version of DEI.

Elon didn't conduct "across the board analysis'. If he had, he would still be working on ONE department. He would be documenting their findings....who would be analyzing what each program does. He's in and out in a week. Basically coming in, looking for new hires and firing them, and then misplacing a few zeros and bragging about it. Only to find that he misstated it by 1,000% That's not analysis.

She was hired by Fox News in 2005...............well before any DEI initiative. If anything, an affirmative action hiree.

DEI...affirmative action - both despised by the right because they let minorities take jobs from better qualified men. She used to be a pretty decent reporter until she got a hint of bias about her. So did they hire her for talent, or is she their token right wing nigress?

Turned out He was correct. Woman didn't have enough seat time to be doing what she did.

What is the purpose of the training pilot? And that was a "routine" route. Seems the trainer (white male) should have confirmed the jet was in sight instead of relying on the word of a DEI transgender pilot.

Guess weren't aware, Musk leaves people in each department continuing to do the analysis. They are using software programs to do what you mention....................rather well, BTW.

Not true...........'perceived wrongs' being corrected by reverse discrimination.

What is the purpose of the training pilot? And that was a "routine" route.

Other pilots said it was standard protocol that you didn't get in the seat with less than 1000 hours and more often than not, more than 1000. You can qualify to be in the training program with 500 hours experience in turbine rotorcraft. She was flying with about 450 from what I read......

First off I never stated all minority hires were unqualified and a result of DEI hiring practices. I said the fact they hired the unqualified based on "checkbox" characteristics is a factor and a cause for concern. I said it cast shadows of doubt on people that truly DO deserve to be there. Don't try to manipulate my statements to run your narrative.

I also asked a simple question YOU did not answer.

KCFlyer I am almost 50 years old.

We have been giving aid to African countries... my whole life.

I am sure we were giving them aid LONG before that.

So let me ask you how much is enough? How long should we give?

Would 200 years satisfy you? Would any amount of time or money satisfy you?

Care to answer?

 

[La Li Lu Le Lo]

DEI...affirmative action - both despised by the right because they let minorities take jobs from better qualified men.

Despised by the right because because it places PEOPLE in positions they would not otherwise be able to obtain due to lack of qualifications or incompetency based on checkbox qualifiers.

You don't qualify for this position but you are getting it by default because you are black and we have a quota to fill.

Now THAT is racist.

So did they hire her for talent, or is she their token right wing nigress?

There is that low key leftist racism. Why don't you just call her an Aunt Jemima (the female version of an Uncle Tom)? It's less typing.

This is after all what you are doing isn't it?

 

[Dog Wonder]

In denial of White privilege?

 

[KCFlyer]

They have little to no documentation of any of it. Screenshot. Pathetic

 

[KCFlyer]

You don't qualify for this position but you are getting it by default because you are black and we have a quota to fill.

Now THAT is racist.

So when you board the plane and see that black or female sitting in the left seat, how do you determine that they weren't hired using racist programs?
