They created a department named after a meme coin.
Hate to tell ya, but corporations have been running the US government for most of its existence.
The scariest part about Trump is that the plutocracy no longer need to even hide the vacuous corruption. So many people are so mentally ill they’ll literally defend satan to your face, while feeding you an alternate version of reality, citing some dead shit crackpot with 1k YouTube views as “evidence”, while calling you crazy. Having dealt with these people, their OS is simply corrupted. They don’t know what logic or reality is anymore, and most of them never will… If they can ignore all evidence thus far, they’re more likely to murder you than they are to self reflect.
What?
THEY CREATED A DEPARTMENT NAMED AFTER A MEME COIN
Obligatory “it’s not a real department”
Huh?
They’re calling Musk a tourist
Oh, tourist? I thought they said terrorist.
Dept of gov effeciency
Doge
Tourists walking though a farmer’s tulip field, trampling the flowers, just to take a stupid picture. Not just one, but dozens of tourists per day.
I’m guessing, Chinese tourists in Holland…
Yes
We get that in Provence with lavender fields, people pick them like it’s not the farmers’ livelihood
Somebody once hoisted her skirt up, dropped a diarrhea on the wall in a cave, and continued on with her day as if she hadn’t just committed a speleological war crime.
Spewleology.
What kind age was this person? What did they even look like?

I wonder about people who do this. Like, what goes through their head to ever think that’s okay? And what does their house look like?
Not that crazy but I’d never seen anything like it before.
Over 15 years ago, I was standing in a very long line at St. Basil’s in Moscow. A small pack of tourists (half a dozen or so) started to “sneak” their way into cutting in line. About 30 French people in a tour group immediately started scolding them in loud unison. They shamed them into taking their place at the end of the line. It was such an automatic and united scolding. Highly entertaining.
A fellow traveler, far more experienced than I am, said that the French are known for doing that sort of thing.
France is south to the Germans, Swedes etc but north to Italians, Greeks etc. So there are both people trying to cut in line (it can be any one, an old lady or a young person), but then other people fight them back with loud “oh you are in a hurry?!!”, “Oh, we just stand here, not queueing at all!!”, or the “Heey! / Eeh!”
Sort of some urban training it feels like.
France is west of Germany, mein Freund.
Das is richtig mein freund!
Well, the northen france is on pair with southern germany, but the idea here is the north/south differences, where in the north people are on time and follow rules, in the south not so much.
You say germans are not on time?
Das ist nicht sehr höflich.Germans: arrive 20 minutes early because “you never know”
The thing I was trying to convey was, Germans and Swedes follow the rules religiously, south europe not so much.
Curiously one of the only times I’ve seen a tourist trying to cut in line they were french, and tried to pretend they didn’t spoke English (at the exit of the Harry Potter studio tour).
Usually French tourists are among the worst behaved, so that’s kinda weird
That’s odd I’ve almost exclusively heard this said about Americans, British, and Chinese tourists. Though I have heard that the French will take you to task if you treat their home like it’s some amusement park, which seems fair?
Yeah but if they’re tourists they’re not at home, by definition.
I’m basing my comment on my experience with them here in Italy
Kyoto, I’ve seen an older tourist literally stop 2 young ladies in kimonos by holding their hand out in front of them in a stop signal then pull out his camera and take a picture. Not once did he ask them. Treated them like they were characters at Disneyland.
And that’s why foreign tourists are no longer allowed on certain streets there. They ruin it for everyone.
Even the characters at Disneyland have specific meet and greet areas where you’re supposed to take photos.
Funnily enough, the two ladies in kimonos were probably tourists too, although maybe domestic ones. It’s a common thing in Kyoto to pay to get dressed up in traditional garb and tour the sights.
Go hiking in insane heat with just a little water bottle. You’re going to die in an area with no cell phone service and it’s going to suck the entire time.
even more, will call emergencies and search & rescue services who will fly helicopters to the back of the mountain to pull out a dumbass wearing flipflops.
in our country it’s not yet charged but in such idiot cases, it should be.
They have to start doing health insurance (which is where an emergency rescue is or should be billed) like car insurance.
If it’s your fault, you have to pay much more.
And if you can’t afford the post your-fault car insurance you don’t get to drive a car, so if you can’t afford the post your-fault health insurance you don’t get to live?
Fair counterpoint. Can’t think of how to solve that stress test of the proposed syst
