A Death Sentence for Bullshit Jobs

[DGS49]

So Trump nixed your bullshit DEI job

unherd.com

This guy gets it. Our Beloved President has done all taxpayers a big favor by signing a "death warrant" for a certain category of Bullshit Jobs coming under the heading of Diversity-Equity-Inclusion. This essay describes what they do and how, and of course why "we" can live without them.

For those who follow Constitutional stuff, all of this stuff grew out of Supreme Court cases that tried to kill "Affirmative Action" because it was racially discriminatory. Colleges and other like-minded institutions eventually came to DEI as a way of discrimination on the basis of race without admitting that's what you are doing.

I personally wonder if this anti-movement (against DEI) will ever make it to advertising and scripted entertainment, where Black people and Wimmin get all the good roles, and there are more inter-racial families than intra.

This will make your head spin.....There are 74 different IG offices spread across the fed .gov, around 74K IG office employees, with an average pay of 108K each.

I could not believe it when I went down the IG rabbit hole.....Things are a lot worse than I thought.

Oh, and to make matters even worse.....There is no head IG to ride herd on them.....They expand on their own!

Why does that number surprise you?
Do you realize how big the Federal Government is?
Over 2 million

The size of the IG is dependent on their workload

I’ve never seen an IG audit ever once fix the wasteful spending in a government agency or unit.

Not once.

 

[rightwinger]

Conservatives always ***** about government inefficiency and corruption.
Now you want to eliminate the agencies that investigate it

Which is it?

I worked for DoD for over 30 years.I saw the IG investigate not only waste but corruption.

I trust IG to investigate more than I do DOGE

Nope, but how may times have you seen an AG report citing some abuse or the other and it just goes away with nothing being done.....The offices have no teeth within an agency.

Why the very size of some of the offices is abuse. HHS alone has 1600 IG employees!

The agencies tasked with the job have been ineffective.

The new DOGE, headed by Elon and Vivek are doing a much more effective job at cleaning out the deadwood.

Have you considered this, an agency that does a terrible job at something should be eliminated and/or replaced?

DOGE is run by two politically connected goons who have no idea of what they are doing

Was anything done with the results of said investigations? If not, they were useless, correct?

 

[rightwinger]

Have you considered this, an agency that does a terrible job at something should be eliminated and/or replaced?

OK …let’s do that

BUT FIRST
Identify how you want to replace it and why it will be better

Now I know you’re lying your ass off. I worked for the Department of Defense for over twenty years. Been through many IG inspections. Never once saw them do anything but cover for the commander in charge and NOTHING ever changed.

Maybe things worked back in the 1970’s, but from 2000 on, nope.

Elon has earned over $400 Billion, and is a man of action. This is what libs have a problem with. If Mr. Musk was just proposing a commission to look into things, and wanted to drag them out until the end of the century, the libs would have less problem with it.

But instead, the time for action is now

And they pay for themselves, with annual recovery of fraud.

So does the IRS who Republicans are gutting

Looks like they use any extra to hire more people to expand their offices instead of returning the funds to the treasury.

How many billions of his $400 billion comes from the government and us taxpayers? If he began DOGE with himself, maybe he'd be taken more seriously?

 

[hadit]

Gutting, or putting back to where it should be?

Trumpie Bear of lawlessness strikes again....!!!! He wants cheating and fraud, so he can do it and milk us taxpayers....
