What effect will having like a majority of people in the DC area suddenly become unemployed have? i feel Trump might accidentally be causing another flint michigan, for the zoomers out there, what happened is that in the 1980s, a fuck load of retards with bullshit jobs suddenly got caught up in a similar situation where the auto companies decided to let a 3rd party come in and show all the areas they've been pissing away money for 70 years and laid a fuck load of people off, flint went from the 1970s version of Silicon Valley to the most dangerous city in the US in the 2000s. it was easier to find heroin than weed there. Not that DC wasn't also a shithole, but the areas affected are going to be a lot more because of these job cuts, it won't just be the beltway around DC but everyone in about a 40 mile radius of the capital meaning most of Maryland will just be fucked as well.
5 of the top 7 highest income counties in the us by median income are all around DC because of fed jobs and especially contractors. 5 of the top 13 per capita. and its been this way for a long time, people don't realize how much this will destroy the entire metro area. they're right to be scared shitless.
they're acting like its hard to go "hey $20 million to arabistan to teach dogs how to be trannys is not something american tax payers want!" Like it would be one thing if Musk was doing this to a company like Toyota, but this style of audit on a place that's never been fucking audited is piss easy, its like playing a 4x game on easy, just doing any move means you'll win, its like changing the oil in a car after 25k miles, no matter what you replace that oil with, its guaranteed to be a net improvement.
In a way Musk is smart to employ the youngest people, they work cheap and are motivated and can stay up for hours on end and are idealistic enough to want to try to improve society. come 2027 i'm sure Trump will have Musk or someone else do another comb through with real professionals to find the real dark money, but for right now its more about the results and getting rid of the big stuff before going all in on these departments.
the fact musk has found and published billions in tax payer money wasted already is shocking.
The funny part is that we had a real life Lord of the Flies situation occur somewhere in Asia, and the boys that got stranded on a deserted island...
... immediately started cooperating for survival and forged strong bonds of brotherhood.
the whole "everyone turns on each other" is mostly a myth, every time its tested or we have historical stories what usually happens is everyone bands together, outside of one or two bad actors. the problem is, especially in modern society the (((bad actors))) rise through the ranks and get people to think everyone is just as bad as them or worse.
Even in scenarios where they knowingly install those types, people in survival situations just isolate them/banish them and improve society on their own, in general you need a certain societal population density and squalor before (((bad actors))) can infiltrate and start fucking things up. Like in your example, a bunch of asian dudes probably had the time of their lives even on a stranded island, meanwhile if it was a bunch of kids from Birthright, they'd have killed each other before the 3rd day.
