WTF?!
@RandPaul
just unveiled on the Senate Floor that U.S. taxpayers spent $4.8 MILLION in Ukraine for “social media influencers.”And we spent several hundred thousand more to send Ukrainians designers to a fashion show in Paris. AMERICANS WANT A REFUND. Plus interest!

Yes, short sighted Americans want a refund. I want the debt reduced with this money.

I agree with you, just using it as an example and the first thing that came into my head.
This needs to be real and not a dog and pony show, so to speak.

Here is my fear with this administration, which by the way, I fully support. Right now, all I hear is we found this, or we found that, winning, winning, winning!
Yet, I really don't see anything substantive to back it up. Yes, border crossings are down, some have been deported, and some have been furloughed in bloated agencies.

What worries me is all the cheerleading, like we see when celebrating a first down. The $5,000 dividend suggestion for every taxpayer comes to mind, for all the savings discovered, but if they don't follow through with that, it will look like just another campaign promise unfulfilled. Maybe I'm wrong and not giving it enough time, although if they don't show something meaningful, this approach might just backfire on them. The Dims are hopelessly lost with any kind of policy, let's not give them any ammunition.

At the quoted 20% of their total, they will have to find almost $2 trillion to fund a $2,500/tax payer dividend.

Don't even try. How can you have a discussion with a person that is convinced he is right about everything? Why try?

I don't want any money, I'd rather they pay down the deficit.
 


Upcoding was something that was drilled into everyone's head as to what you should absolutely not do. Maybe I'm just naive in doing the right thing my entire career.
If United Healthcare did this, it is beyond stupid, but perhaps they weighed the chances of getting caught versus the cash coming in.

Trump has only been president just over a month Zona!
The things that have been accomplished in that short period of time has been monumental and certainly merits the “cheerleading”.
This creation of DOGE, illegal border crossings have come to a standstill, the swamp draining (firings), the confirmation of Trumps conservative cabinet members.

Let alone the unprecedented number of executive orders many of which are nothing to sneeze at such as unleashing Alaskas and the rest of the US energy resources, withdrawing the US from the WHO, protecting our children from genital mutilation…,

Since you mentioned Soros’ son.

The left calls Musk our “second president”, that we didn’t vote for him…another billionaire influencing politics blah blah..

Well guess what you liberal freaks, Musks presence is transparent …unlike Alex Soros who is reported to have visited Biden in the White House 24 times which had virtually gone unreported. Covert operations in my book.

Alex Soros’s White House access under Biden hits two dozen visits

That's special democrat democracy.
 
I can't imagine having a team to read thru 2 million emails on what folks did the previous week. If anything, they will probably run them thru an AI program keying on certain verbiage or words to ensure it was a serious submission. I'm really thinking this is more of a loyalty exercise. Who is on the team and who is not. If you are going to fight a simple request of job accomplishments or just not comply....you're probably being identified for removal.

You are correct that Musk's team has incredible AI programs to check the results. The AI can be programmed to search for repetitive entries (copy-and-paste entries, a sign of bogus claims of work), and key words, and time allotment that does not match the time identified tasks are expected to take, etc.

Once the suspicious entries are pulled, they can be analyzed in greater detail. I spent 20 years billing my work and know that identifying exactly what I did, item-by-item, with detailed descriptions of the tasks and reasonable time billed for such work was a must before I would get paid.

Welcome to the real world, government employees.

Hater.
I have detailed on FB my struggles with owning my own company that I unloaded at a loss in 2016 and just made my last SBA loan payment of almost $1000 a month last week.
Government employees are on a whole different paradigm. I have several friends and family who are either career public union employees or career government employees, who all tell me that it's my own damn fault for not belonging to a public employee union or working for the government.
The concept that there has to be a private sector to pay taxes in order to fund the government is utterly lost on them.

I got mine last night. Then got another one from my organization instructing us not to respond until we are told what to say.

I don’t see what the big deal is. They want 5 bullet points explaining what we accomplished last week. We use a system called LAP360 to document our work daily. I only worked 3.5 days last week due to Fort Bragg being shut down half a day Wednesday and all day Thursday due to weather and I can still go into LAP360 and pull 5 things in two minutes. I don’t think this is going to be the flex people think it is.

I think this is mostly towards the freeloaders who have been sitting on their ***** at home since the scamdemic started. F ‘em.

I think the requirement does two things:

1. Identifies the "resistance" since as you pointed out, answering the e-mail should not be a difficult task.
2. Identify employees who respond but don't actually do anything - and there are quite a few who fall in that category.

Anybody who performs legitimate work and does a worthwhile task will have no problems with the e-mail. So the "burden" is almost non-existent, right? Let's wait on the screeching from Fed employees about how onerous this task is in 3 ... 2 ... 1 ...

Honestly, how many are going to respond that they didn’t do anything?

If we’re judging whether what a person does is necessary, that’s a different story.
