These keep coming up in many contexts so may as well collect them in one place. Though this report speeds past a mere conflict into something far worse:

So we "solve" climate change by dolling out billions of dollars to a Stacey Abrams "non profit" whose entire revenue, prior to the grant, was $100. Seems legit. This is why most Americans support the sledgehammer actions of DOGE. There may be some mistakes (gotta break eggs to make an omelette) and you can nit pick certain decisions, but he's getting the job done.

What do you think Facebook's revenue was when it was first founded? The whole point of venture capital is to provide capital for people who have great talent and ideas but need money to make things happen. If you want to criticize the grant, then criticize the people involved. If the administration gave a bunch of money to some radio DJs with no management experience and no subject matter expertise, then it would be stupid and that would be true whether the revenue was $100 or $100K.

As stated, your point is nonsensical.

Trump has gotten zero done. Most of what he's done is illegal and will be reversed (unless Trump decides to ignore court orders, which would break America irretrievably and we wouldn't have an omelet at the end). What hasn't been illegal has accomplished almost nothing. Woo hoo, he laid off a bunch of people, most of whom perform useful and even necessary function, and in the process saved . . . $1B. The ratio of that saving to the federal budget is like a couple of seconds to a month. Would you call it a huge efficiency gain if you managed to shave 0.05 seconds off your morning commute?

Hahahahahahah. $100 in revenue and receive a grant for $2 billion. Should be a 50 page thread on here talking about the possible shenanigans going on here between the jill administration and abrams. Can't wait to read all the concern that was voiced in the elon threads because there aren't any hypocrites on the zzl.
