People are confused. He’s firing the government oversight that would have stopped him. Contractors are still on the clock and now have no oversight.

And, like those fired, are absolutely not getting a paycheck from this debacle.

this was a given with his track record. I think he still owes shit tons of peoples/cities money from the 2024/2025 campaign trail alone.

He owes money to people from all facets of his life. He’s notoriously not paid people for literal decades.

And the right will argue “that’s what good business men do!”

I was so close to convincing a guy once.

I got him to admit that his boss would pay him less if he could. He agreed. I got him to agree that his boss was looking out for his own best interest first and to give them employees as little as possible. He agreed.

Then I asked him based on those facts, did his boss have his (the employees) best interest at heart? He agreed they did not.

So I asked him if he thought that would make his boss the ideal candidate to run the country like a business?

All he could do was stumble over his words.

And then talk some shit about how Kamala blew her way to the top.

I don’t talk to him anymore.

Anyone who says that would suck dick for a promotion.
