Trump's administration will have fresh eyes.

[Moonglow]

I remember when I went to work for a family owned and managed residential real estate company. Almost everything they did was outdated and inefficient. For example, they painted entire apartments with 4-inch paint brushes. When the time was right, I introduced the roller to them. My boss believed that painting with a roller would 'fill up the wall with paint'. I convinced him that one could put a thinner coat of paint on a wall more uniformly, more quicky, and of course at less cost.

The problem was that the business is labor intensive requiring many work skills. However, the family was very education oriented, all family members having gone to college. They simply weren't oriented to efficient work habits or skills. My immediate thought was "this company needs me, badly".

So it is with government agencies. Old habits and attitudes prevail. Efficiency is unimportant, in fact the more the work piles up the more 'valuable' the bureaucrats become to the system. Hopefully the new administration will bring 'rollers' with them to the job.

Trump will bring rollers fer his hair.

How would you feel if you went to the hospital and found the surgeons had been replaced by people who's main qualifications were their gender, genitals, and skin color?

Or their God.

 

[Crepitus]

Replacing liberal sycophants.

Not really, no. Bidens cabinet at least had some sense to it.

tRump is putting a guy who wasted $40,000,000,000.00 on a whim in charge of cutting spending, and man who thinks Palestine doesn't exist as Israeli ambassador, and sex criminals in various places.

And it just gets worse from there.

TBD.

 

[Crepitus]

TBD.

Nope. Foregone conclusion.

 

[daveman]

Or their God.

That doesn't happen. But the scenario I described does. You up for neurosurgery from a surgeon who was a DEI hire?

Companies are bought and sold for big bucks all the time.

Your point is noted, but many such sales aren't as successful as hoped. In Musk's case the jury is still out.

I think a twenty billion dollar loss is pretty much case closed. No idea why you would need a jury at this point.

Huge valuation losses are common among the super rich.

Lol, not that huge.

Do not get the fresh eyes deal, Its the same going on 80 year old preaching the same stuff as last time.
EXCEPT this time he has permission from a larger pool of voters? That is not me defending the other party's leaders.
Having no balance in government is not in the best interest of any of us.

 

[Woodznutz]

Lol, not that huge.

He might recover.

We'll just have to wait and see.

Falling further as we speak.

I already had one, a Jew.

 

[daveman]

Lol, not that huge.

I see what you mean. Like the Harris Campaign blowing through a billion dollars with nothing to show for it, and winding up $20 million in debt.

How much did you lose on that laughably bad investment?

 

[daveman]

I already had one, a Jew.

Jews aren't covered under DEI. They're oppressors now, remember?

 

[Woodznutz]

X's fortunes are now tied to Trump's presidency.
