Summary
A leaked TSA email suggests funding for bomb-sniffing dogs has been halted under Elon Musk.
The email states that vet visits, kenneling, and food are “put on hold” until further guidance.
TSA deploys over 1,000 canine teams, with training costing $33,000 per dog.
The funding freeze contradicts Trump’s “tough on crime” stance and coincided with the White House celebrating “K9 Veterans Day.”
I’m reading this and thinking “this can’t be real”. How did we end up here? I really don’t get it.
People in this thread want to blame television which is fucking weird and straight from the 90s. The real issue is every one needs a fucking civics lesson. Half the people don’t even know the intended function of government the other half are arguing about which facts are facts.
I’m mean, not even to mention our society is designed around greed. They dressed it up real nice but end of the day the engine that drives the machine is pure greed.
Civics and economics are two subjects that aren’t treated with the rigor they should be in American high schools. Both subjects are usually taught by coaches as a placeholder to give them a faculty job so they can be on the coaching staff.
He’s basically doing a scream test, you shut off something, and if nobody comes back to you asking why it’s down, you can assume nobody was using it, and you can just leave it shut down. If it was needed, you just spin it back up.
Obviously that’s not a huge issue with computers (although you’ll have a bad time if you do it across the board or with backup systems), but you can’t do that shit to people (or in this case animals).
He’s doing silicon valley stuff to real life, and you just have to be a complete idiot to think that’s a good idea.
I have a idea. We do our own scream test.
Let’s turn his brain off permanently.
And we Don’t bother listening for anyone complaining about it.
It’s the perfect plan.
I prefer Luigi’s method personally. Shoot CEOs until someone cares.
Be the change you want to see in the world.
Are you wearing a wire dude?
Are you a Trump supporter dude?
Nope. I just figured the comment was a little close to a call to violence; figured they’re either not in the US, or Fedposting.
Maybe they just don’t give a fuck about making calls to violence, in which case more power to them and good luck out there
Edit: realized you weren’t the person I originally commented on, so I changed the wording to point at the proper subject
Or a twisted monster
Even for Twitter it was a disaster.
Yeah, obviously there’s more context to it. You only use it as a last resort, after you checked documentation and asked everyone else if they know. Musk decided to just pull random servers out of racks after he fired everyone that could’ve told them what they were for.
It started with Gerry Springer, really. We started celebrating the most awful qualities of humanity and normalized them.
I’d say that Springer was influenced by Oprah Winfrey, whose show about abuse, neglect, crime and vice was influenced by her harrowing childhood, a product of racism, and capitalist-induced poverty.
And it turns out she was lying or possibly severely misremembering her childhood. She didn’t grow up in poverty. Oprah sucks, she gave us Drs Phil and Oz.
Didn’t he apologize for that and said had he known what was unleashed he would have shut it down?
Millions of people who voted for Biden in 2020 stayed home in 2024. Republican numbers stayed the same.
By abstaining from voting for Harris, the entire US collectively voted for the worst option.
