Out of curiosity, I tried to look into what working for DOGE might be about. Politics aside, this seems wild. For my current and previous government roles, there was a very specific process that I had to follow, through the application to accepting the offer. Now, you have to pay to be verified on Twitter to even message this account to submit an application? Has this ever been seen before? Would love to hear your thoughts.

Reportedly it won’t actually come with any pay.

My thoughts are that it's nonsense, but it's got potential to do a lot of harm. Musk and Ramaswamy want to do away with any regulations on business, and if you look at their business histories you'll understand why. So they'll make a lot of noise and inspire a lot of death threats toward government workers, but they won't really accomplish anything remotely normal or productive.

It isn’t an official government department. That being said I guess they can set up the application process however they want just like any other company does. Would I be scrambling to be a part of it? Not for me, and this isn’t exactly how I’d break into the private sector.

Federal, quasi-federal, or non-federal, DOGE will still require funding. Which also means it will require Congressional approval, and subject to congressional oversight. Plus any recommendation they put forward are also subject to congressional approval, through Power of the Purse. The Republicans have a majority, but are hardly unified. Plus the X member verification requirement, or pay to play, approach is ripe for litigation for violating privacy and OCI boundaries.

Repost - The % of the African American population killed by police in 2019 is roughly 0.0005%. It was 235 people. But around the same year 6,000 african americans were killed by eachother. How do we reconcile these facts? In 2013, 72% of african americans were born to single parent households; one of the strongest indicators of future poverty and criminal disposition. Can we acknowledge and fix instances of police brutality while also not ignoring our cultural problems as well?

I rented a house that had been vacant for a bit & the prior tenant didn’t do a thorough job cleaning up. Agent indicated the owner would be open to having the house cleaned but I would need to have the house professionally cleaned when I moved out (that was fine w me). I just received the bill from the owner for $250, which is super annoying bc there was no expectation communicated that I would foot the bill for this, more so bc the cleaner did a LOUSY job.
