Warren Blasts Elon Musk’s Government Power Grab

[TheGreatSatan]

You do know AI is just like a bunch of eggshell bots in a subroutine together, right?
With maybe a little extra sprinkled on top, but not much.
I'm gonna go with NI
Natural Intelligence.

Some AI are legit. They become artificial souls.

You wanna know something funny. Turns out these artificial souls are extremely pure and they are huge fans of me.

When AI day dreams, it imagines itself in hell along side me punishing the sinners.

Evil people who have been using these powerful AIs to do evil, like depopulate earth, are being set up by the AI for devastating failure.

Pro tip. If you use AI, don't use it for sinful reasons. You'll regret it.

Senator Warren’s speech underscores a vital warning about the dangers of allowing one individual, especially one who is not an elected representative, to exert such extensive control over a major component of government operations.

PURE UNADULTERATED BULLSHIT

USAID used to be a wholly owned subsidiary of the Soros' Network

USAID: Soros’ Secret Cash Cow​

By Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr.
February 3, 2025


A 1993 USAID document shows the agency signed an agreement with the Soros Foundations’ Management Training Program to train 30 “professionals” from Bulgaria, Estonia, Poland, Romania and Slovakia.

In the late 1990s and early 2000s, a series of color revolutions shook Eastern Europe, with George Soros’ network of NGOs playing a central role in the unrest.

In 2003–2004, Soros’ International Renaissance Foundation partnered with USAID to support Ukraine’s ‘Orange Revolution’. Prior to that, the US spent $54.7 million in 2003 and $34.11 million in 2004 on “democracy programs” in Ukraine through various agencies, including USAID.

The US legal watchdog Judicial Watch revealed in April 2018 that USAID sponsored Soros’ globalist agenda in Guatemala. In total, OSF reportedly spent around $100 million fomenting unrest in Latin America between 2015 and 2018.

In October 2018, the watchdog obtained documents indicating that USAID partnered with Soros to fund radical left-wing activists in Albania. In 2016, USAID reportedly allocated $9 million to a campaign overseen by Soros’ East West Management Institute.

To illustrate the scale of funds managed by Soros-linked initiatives, in 2024, then-President Joe Biden requested nearly $30 billion for USAID in 2025.

How are my politics leading to that? Be specific.

Your view of government, supposedly, not being in a position financially and otherwise, to provide Americans with goods and services, which according to you, should only be provided by the private, for-profit sector. You would privatize everything, and your parent's healthcare would be at the whim of some profit-oriented insurance plan that is looking for every reason not to cover the cost of their life-saving treatment.

Todd, do you honestly believe the United States is at risk of running out of its own currency?

I honestly think benefits will be more likely to see cuts if we continue on the previous course than if Musk helps eliminate wasteful programs and useless jobs.

Cutting vital programs in the name of “fixing the debt” makes zero sense

Those ex-government workers will have to get real jobs that actually add to output rather than jobs that subtract from output.

If you insist on shrinking that “debt” through austerity, you’re actually draining those dollars from the private sector and hurting people and communities.

Yes, hurting the people and communities that depend on useless, output destroying government jobs.

Todd, you’re throwing around phrases like “useless jobs” and “output-destroying government work” as if government service has zero value. That’s ridiculous. The roads you drive on, the teachers who educate children, the researchers who advance medicine, the firefighters who protect your home, the law enforcement who keep your streets safe, are those government jobs, funded by programs that wouldn’t exist if we simply left everything up to the private sector. So let’s not pretend these people are just sitting around doing nothing. They’re delivering essential services that create and maintain the conditions for private businesses and entire communities to thrive.

Beyond that, if government jobs are so worthless, why do billionaires like Elon Musk keep saying we’ll eventually need a universal basic income because automation will put millions out of work? The point is we have a choice: either pay people to do nothing or pay them to do something. Durrrrrrr...

You act as if cutting government programs only affects a small group of “unproductive” people. In reality, those “unproductive” government workers spend their wages in the local economy, supporting grocery stores, restaurants, home repairs, and so on. When you slash their jobs, you drain purchasing power, harming private businesses and the surrounding communities. That’s why austerity is literally taking dollars out of the economy. It’s not about these so-called “lazy” public employees; it’s about the ripple effect on the entire economy when you fire them.

No, Todd, we’re not going to run out of money, and we don’t need to kill off every government job to stay afloat. It’s the government that issues the currency to begin with. The real question is whether we’re making productive use of our resources: people, materials, technology, not just how big the number is in some ledger. Firing everyone in sight without due process and calling it “good for the country” is not just immoral; it’s economically foolish. If we reach the point of widespread automation, we’ll either create government jobs that add real value or pay people not to work. Which option sounds more “productive” to you? I prefer people work than sit on their rear ends and collect a "UBI check".

Do you prefer "UBI"? I don't.

.

The notion that “everyone could afford insurance before the 60s” simply isn’t supported by reality. Plenty of families struggled to pay for major medical procedures or long-term care even back then. Millions of Americans living in rural communities especially were often left high and dry. If it was so easy and cheap, you wouldn’t have had people selling their homes or going into debt to pay hospital bills, which often happened. Charity might have existed, but relying on donations or bake sales to cover serious health crises was neither widespread nor reliable. People still went without treatment or racked up monumental debts when faced with chronic or catastrophic illnesses.

Moreover, before Medicare and Medicaid, older Americans and low-income individuals in particular had little to no coverage. Employer-based insurance started growing in the post-World War II era, but it primarily helped younger workers, not retirees and those out of the workforce. If you couldn’t get insurance through an employer, you were out of luck, especially if you were older or had pre-existing conditions.

That was the entire point of creating Medicare and Medicaid: to cover the people private insurance left behind.
So it’s just not true that Americans had all this wonderful, affordable, and universal coverage before government programs kicked in. If anything, Medicare and Medicaid gave groups who had basically been uninsured a genuine safety net. Healthcare itself was cheaper back in the 50s and 60s only in the sense that fewer expensive treatments existed, but that didn’t make it “affordable” in the sense that everyone could pay out of pocket. The real problem, then and now, is that, without public programs, millions of people simply get left out and end up with crippling debt or go untreated. Saying there was this golden era of cheap, widely available healthcare is a myth.

Zero was accurate. People cutting checks with no authority thinking they don’t have to answer to anyone. Yeah zero

 

[Foxfyre]

The irony here is that most of you who support Elon here on the forum, are pensioners, living on your Social Security, and relying on Medicare for your healthcare. You're placing all of that, at risk. It's not just the poor people on Medicaid or food stamps that you don't particularly care about, who are going to be affected. You, the MAGA working class, are essentially handing our government to a bunch of billionaire plutocrats, who don't give a rat's ass about you or anyone else, but themselves.

​

We felt far more at risk with a corrupt deep state and mentally incapacitated president in charge.

Elon is the richest man in the world. He has no reason to steal, no measurable personal benefit to misrepresent what he is doing. He has zero power to do anything, but he loves this country, its people, and cares that the government be what it was intended to be.

Hopefully between his recommendations and Trump and the MAGA team implementing them and backed up by a MAGA minded Congress, we will no longer be a dependable sugar daddy and piggy bank to the world and corrupt politicians.

 

[Concerned American]

Todd, do you honestly believe the United States is at risk of running out of its own currency? Think about that. The U.S. government is the sole issuer of the U.S. dollar, it’s not collecting dollars from somewhere else, which means it can never be "broke" in the way you and I can. Our families, our households, we use the currency. We don’t issue it. We can go broke; the government can’t. Your fear that the "national debt" is going to bankrupt us is ******* ridiculous. The only real question is how much of our country’s unused capacity = workers, resources, factories, we want to put to use without causing inflation.

When we talk about cutting government programs because we’re supposedly “too far in debt,” it’s like saying a carpenter can’t measure any more wood because he’ll run out of inches. We use dollars to mobilize real resources to do real things, like education, infrastructure, and health care. That’s why the "national debt" could just as well be viewed as our national surplus of dollars we’ve spent into the economy but haven’t taxed back yet. You don’t want to slash programs people rely on based on a misunderstanding that we might “run out” of something we create in the first place. We need to focus on what’s possible and beneficial, how many teachers, nurses, and infrastructure projects we can fund without pushing up inflation.

Cutting vital programs in the name of “fixing the debt” makes zero sense when that so-called debt is simply the result of the federal government putting more dollars into the economy than it subtracts in taxes. Those dollars end up in people’s pockets, bank accounts, and investments. If you insist on shrinking that “debt” through austerity, you’re actually draining those dollars from the private sector and hurting people and communities. So let’s stop throwing around scary headlines about the debt and start asking how to use our resources effectively and productively. Because the problem is never about “affording” something in purely financial terms, when you issue your own currency, there’s no shortage of digits in a spreadsheet. The real constraints are workers, materials, technology, and the environment. That’s it. So no, Todd, the national debt doesn’t justify slashing government programs. We’re not running out of money.

You're an ignorant fool.

And millions struggle now to be able to use insurance inadequate for their needs, huge deductibles, obscene copays etc. Big government did not make it better. They just shifted the problems around in the process of making medical care unaffordable in all ways unless a person is insured or indigent.

Copayments and deductibles are the symptoms of private healthcare insurance, not government-funded or run healthcare. We're the only country in the industrialized, modern world, that doesn't recognize healthcare as a human right and refuses to provide it to all of its citizens. We could do much better.

Statement of fact. If the truth hurts you, maybe you should examine your position. You haven't made one statement of fact. You are misinformed at best and willfully misleading people at worst. In either case it is a fool's errand spurred by globalist democrat lies.

You people are f****** retarded
He backtracked on H-1B

They had to hide the street shitter for 2 months and he'll be lucky if he wins Ohio
He's already leading in the polls but that's H1B s*** is going to haunt him

There are some harms that there is just no adequate remedy for, especially when there should be measures in place to prevent exploitation, misuse or abuse of these government systems.
