Stage of grief now in "Acceptance" phase
After suffering relentlessly for last two months, I have finally come to peace and accepted that I'll most likely be RIFed and I'm ok with that. I'm feeling relaxed since last few days. And with that, DJT and EM have lost control over my mind which they had for last two months. Now I'm in charge of myself. That's a good feeling!

You thought this was a democracy — until your NIOSH (CDC) coworkers start to be disappeared
Three days ago a federal scientist and dedicated civil servant in the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), a part of the CDC, did an interview with a major media outlet to talk about the impact of his work studying disabling and deadly lung disease among coal miners in Appalachia.https://www.npr.org/sections/shots-health-news/2025/04/09/nx-s1-5356067/niosh-cdc-coal-miner-black-lung-trump-dogeLike 90% of us in NIOSH, and 100% of staff in the NIOSH Morgantown WV research facility where he works, he was notified on April 1 that he will be fired, not for cause, in several weeks. Our agency is being quickly eliminated under the false flag "waste, fraud and abuse."On April 11, I received an outside inquiry at work regarding his subject area and went to email him. His CDC email and descriptive information has been wiped in the past 3 days from the CDC address system. The org chart for his division, the NIOSH Respiratory Health Division, is currently 404 -not found on the CDC intranet, while those for other NIOSH divisions are still intact!was this done on Elon Musk’s orders? — probably. Trump’s answer will be " I don't know anything about that." Many web public pages of NIOSH have already been taken down —I pray my NIOSH coworker is okay today, and his sudden disappearance was only digital. 
We are in the way of bringing back the disposable workers and child labor of the Gilded Age, Trumps favored era, “ when America was great.”May the lord Jesus bless you.

535 members of Congress making at least $174,000 a year.
It seems like this is a good place for saving taxpayer money. Also, why not have terms limits and stop paying them a retirement? Just saying. And as a side note, there are 10,000 congressional staffers. Do they need that many?Plus office cost, travel, supplies, etc. And they get summer recess! Ever wonder what the total budget is?Maybe other branches of government should have spending cuts too?Update: My concern is not about each area of spending. It is why zero cuts to the other branches of government? Zero. Even having term limits would save taxpayers money.

Trump admin overrode Social Security staff to list 6K immigrants as dead, ignoring warnings & escorting a senior exec out of the building | WashPost
Two days after the Social Security Administration purposely and falsely labeled 6,100 living immigrants as dead, security guards arrived at the office of a well-regarded senior executive in the agency’s Woodlawn, Maryland, headquarters.Greg Pearre, who oversaw a staff of hundreds of technology experts, had pushed back on the Trump administration’s plan to move the migrants’ names into a Social Security death database, eliminating their ability to legally earn wages and, officials hoped, spurring them to leave the country. In particular, Pearre had clashed with Scott Coulter, the new chief information officer installed by Elon Musk. Pearre told Coulter that the plan was illegal, cruel and risked declaring the wrong people dead, according to three people familiar with the events.But his objections did not go over well with Trump political appointees. And so on Thursday, the security guards in Pearre’s office told him it was time to leave.They walked Pearre out of the building, capping a momentous internal battle over the novel strategy — pushed by Musk’s U.S. DOGE Service and the Department of Homeland Security — to add thousands of immigrants ranging in age from teenagers to octogenarians to the agency’s Death Master File. The dataset is used by government agencies, employers, banks and landlords to check the status of employees, residents, clients and others.The episode also followed earlier warnings from senior Social Security officials that the database was insecure and could be easily edited without proof of death — a vulnerability, staffers say, that the Trump administration has now exploited.The warnings and Pearre’s removal have not previously been reported. This account of how the Trump administration pushed Social Security to wrongly declare thousands of living immigrants dead is based on interviews with 15 people, including current and former Social Security officials, many of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of retaliation, as well as more than two dozen pages of records obtained by The Washington Post.GIFT LINK HERE: https://wapo.st/3RKSQQtDo you have a story to share about DOGE's impact on the federal government and/or how the Trump administration is approaching immigration enforcement across agencies?

Elon and Trump are costing America trillions of dollars
The perceived savings of DOGE are an absolute lie. The cuts to the IRS alone will far exceed any imagined savings from cuts to other agencies. However this is partially a red herring. The cuts to the federal government will also devastate private industry and cause long term degradation to America's competitiveness in the world. Let's start with AI. Unknown to most of the general public. The federal government performs and funds more AI research than every single large tech company. Many of the major breakthroughs in AI started with government programs and were only later monetized by private industry. Many of the best research scientists and PhDs either went to public institutions or at a minimum were funded and supported by U.S government research grants. Government grants and contracts have funded AI research at Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, Google and many other large tech companies. The United States would not have its AI position in the world without the U.S government's direct support. The damage done during previous administrations already put the United States behind the curve in most sub-disciplines of AI such as reinforcement learning when compared with China. The changes from this administration will put us behind the rest of the world. This pattern extends to many other fields: medicine, aerospace, robotics, manufacturing and others. Without public education the work force cannot consistently improve on what came before. The folks in private industry are not fools. One of the biggest reasons for eliminating entry level jobs is because of a faltering U.S education system. Cutting billions from U.S education will produce a stream of unemployable idiots. I see new graduates with weaker skills than high school interns. Post trump we will see fully illiterate Americans entering the work force. I say all this as someone with a foot in both worlds. Americans and American companies need a stable federal government to function. Why would companies invest in the U.S post Trump and Doge:We are extremely expensive to operate inWe have lower education levels than our Asian and European counterpartsWe have a backwards visa and immigration programWe are issuing tariffs on friends and geopolitical rivals alikeWe are no longer friendly and are becoming out right hostile to foreign graduates and students (i.e kidnapping college students)Our healthcare system is dysfunctional and our government is anti-vaccine (news flash sick and dying workers aren't very productive) Our new administration is so bad that we are actually seeing a brain drain. Foreign graduates are going home, less foreign students are coming to the U.S, and more Americans are looking for work abroad.Money is leaving. With the U.S stock market dropping and interests rising on U.S bonds it means one thing: money is leaving this country and going overseas. Not millions, not billions, but trillions of dollars are leaving our economy and going into Asia and Europe.

Neben #Twitter killt #Elon nun auch #Tesla nachhaltig Stück für Stück.

Musks #Doge wirft Experten für selbstfahrende Autos raus, die Musks Tesla regulieren
https://www.derstandard.at/story/3000000265372/musks-doge-wirft-experten-fuer-selbstfahrende-autos-raus-die-musks-tesla-regulieren
Das mag am ersten Blick günstig für Tesla wirken, ist es aber nicht.
Einerseits kommt bereits Kritik aus dem Tesla-Management, weil dadurch die laufenden Freigabeverfahren für autonomes Fahren länger dauern werden.
Andererseits mag zwar ein unreguliertes Selbstfahr-Risiko in den USA kurzfristig Elon etwas bringen aber da er seine Autos auch außerhalb der USA verkaufen will, kommt das Problem nachgelagert. Und das ist deutlich(!) teurer als wenn man es gleich nachhaltig für den internationalen Bereich mitlöst.
In der Zwischenzeit büßen das die Amis durch höhreres Unfallrisiko selbst.
