That concern is understandable. Personally I am not worried about well paid engineers having access to my personal information. They cared enough about the mission to leave good situations to focus on benefiting the country. DOGE is less risk than low paid legacy government workers with preexisting access. It is less risk than the customer service agents at banks, medical record providers, etc. that are low paid. Regardless of employee training and audits, it is person ethics that matter. DOGE shared more problems publicly than the people in place, and transparency is a signal of trust… My personal information is already for sale on the black market… The best I can do for protection is to use a password manager tool that enables complex unique passwords… and monitor my credit / finances. There should be education and oversight. I will assume oversight is limited and I fully support this mission regardless.

Nah, we should give $1B to a NGO , where $10K goes to the people in need.

If our country is to spend money, it should enabling those to take care of their own people. Having one's kids die from starvation is a strong motivator to get "it" together. -------- How many kids are dying in Sudan each year? (80K under 5) Now how many unborn are killed each year in the USA? (1M under 1) How many USA kids are food insecure? (9M) How many kids in the USA grow up without fathers? (18M) How much money does the USA have to spend (less than -2T)

No that is important but not a top priority.

Framing Republicans unfairly ignores that they give more to charity than Dems, and that both give a good amount. You might also not understand that they want to help those that want to help themself. They also support welfare with tighter conditions. Once the Sudanese kid arrived in America, the R wants to quickly provide the education and therapy necessary for integration and to help them build a life different from the one they experienced growing up. Or eventually relocate if they choose not to integrate. From what I'm witnessing, it seems the D wants the education and therapy but also Americans change their culture to accept the Sudan culture into its own. And if that refugee never became self-reliant, they'd continue welfare indefinitely. Just stereotyping here...

The USA located refugee warrants similar help to local citizens... Stepping back, there is no moral duty to help those globally without satisfactory addressing local issues first. Taking care of your own before you take care of others is as natural as it comes. At what point does aiding those in global need get outweighed by local economic constraints?

It is sad that the parents, families, and communities are failing to directly care for the kids in their own country. It is good if America recognizes First things First, America comes first. A good tour of a developing country should inspire local support before foreign support.

My overall claim is that citizens (left and right) should be skeptical of the media, recognize media propaganda from all biases, and and that the media is heavily influenced by the government. The ethical should be thankful for DOGE's mission and progress. We should question what inside of us is supporting to undermine the greater good to rapidly reduce wasteful spending.

I claimed the link between USAID directly funding Politico content creation was debunked. USAID influences what content is made available through its subscriptions. USAID funds groups that influence content creation as well.

Politico - the money was for subscriptions rather than content creation. BBC - money was through its charitable arm, BBC Media action which operations independently from BBC News.

The direct link to content funding for Politico and domestic others are debunked. How might Politico, etc. maintain a positive relationship with some of their biggest subscribers, paying $8M annual?

"Reporters Without Borders (RSF) revealed that USAID funded 6,200 journalists, 707 non-state media outlets, and 279 media-focused NGOs in more than 30 countries in 2023." What do the Ukraine media outlets say about Tucker Carlson? What does the UK Zinc Network say about Vivek Ramaswamy? Does the US media pick up the stories from those groups?

This is their brain on media. The media now proven to be funded by the government.

Explain to me like I am stupid. What is the non classified data and functions that they have access to and what could they do with it that will harm me?

how about this?

Both can be true. What are the top influences in my lifetime that created a desire to fight? Movies: Rambo, Top Gun, Red Dawn, Independence Day. Other: 9/11, space force… Why? Patriotism. Warriors. Heroism. How effective is this ad from 2021?

I am referring to the communication style and policy priorities that speak well to the military aged masses. Testosterone overrides most else.

Patience, we are on week 3.

The mission and leadership communication.

I'll join the very large group of people willing to pay $10 per egg to eat popcorn and enjoy "win" after "win" after "win." DOGE is out there delivering a three piece and soda. Super Necessary.

Watch the video and form your own opinion. Trump explicitly states that Palestinians should not return to Gaza after its reconstruction at: 6:59 - 7:09: Here, he says, "The only reason, the Palestinians want to go back to Gaza is they have no alternative. It's right now, a demolition site." 7:27 - 7:32: He continues, "They instead can occupy all of a beautiful area with homes and safety and they can live out their lives in peace and Harmony instead of having to go back and do it again." Trump says the area will be better for Palestinians, but not just for them. 38:13 - 38:25: He says, "I envision a world people living there. The world's people. I think you'll make that into an international unbelievable place. I think the potential and the Gaza Strip is unbelievable. and I think the entire world represent from all over the world will be there and they'll and they'll live there Palestinians also Palestinians will live there, Many people will live there..." 39:08 - 39:26: Trump reiterates, "destroyed that live there now can live in peace in a much better situation because they're living in hell. And those people will now be able to live in peace. We'll make sure that it's done. world class, it'll be wonderful for the people. Palestinians. Palestinians, mostly we're talking about..." Trump also talks about the peace it will bring. Its a tough one. The world wants peace and this will bring it. But what does Palestine want? What about International Law?

I've noticed that in my engineering industry, above-average women tend to advance more quickly than their male counterparts. I believe this is due to diversity quotas aiming to mirror the general population's gender ratio. The industry has a stark gender imbalance, with roughly 15 men for every woman, yet women seem to be promoted at a rate of 10 to 1 compared to men. This observation leads me to encourage my daughter to pursue engineering, highlighting its bright future, broad opportunities, good pay, and the additional advantage her gender provides in this field. Well maybe I did experience it, but I choose not to believe it. Amazon head hunted me and I went through "overviews" with other candidates that were all non-white males. I went through 8 interviews and felt that I aced the interview. Obviously I did not because they told me I was not "technical" and recommended me for a non technical job. During the process, I immediately noticed I was the minority in the candidate pool and amongst those that interviewed me, with exception to the bartender. One thought that cross my mind was that I didn't fit the quota. Even though I've won "architect" of the year for a large company, I reflected that I must not have answered with enough technical detail in the open ended behavior questions. I also declined to relocate to Austin, TX.

When people claim that "merit" hiring will only benefit white male Aryans, it suggests they don't believe minorities can earn top jobs on their own merits. That's the real racism.

I don't know how the displaced Palestinians could afford luxury homes. It would be a different class from the surrounding areas that move in. It would have a positive impact in reducing violence in the area while displacing the OG.
