Too bad Biden and Harris didn't have your keen insight and wisdom to guide them to do all this over the past four years. If they had, perhaps they wouldn't have been such a steaming pile of corruption and ineptitude, and gotten the dems bounced from power across the board in November. Your side and their goofy ideas and agenda sucked and got soundly rejected by the voters.

You have no credibility to tell the winning side anything at this point. It's time for you to stop lecturing the winners and instead be quiet and try to learn instead of blathering on and on and on and on about everything. You and a couple of others are the IE equivalent of a 2-10 coach trying to lecture others about how to play winning football and build a championship program.
As massive as our government is, I still can’t believe an accounting firm could complete a detailed audit along with certified reports in a month. But hey, I’m just an old white racist bigot get off my lawn guy. I don’t know any better.

Meh Independent.
Good luck selling government secrets, that's a good way to get thrown in jail. My father-in-law worked on nuclear components 25 years ago before his plant got shut down. He's been in the civilian sector ever since, but he still regularly gets checkups from the government to make sure he's not living beyond his means as well as interviewing family. Wouldn't be surprised if some of those LinkedIn contacts are really FBI keeping tabs.

They're a group of clowns that don't know what they're doing and are flying by the seat of their pants. Maybe fact check your shit before you post it just so you can pat yourself on the back?

I'll give these clowns a minute - your brand of clowns have done a bang up job the last 40 years. Fucking fire them all and cut it to zero - start from scratch IMO.

As one former EPA official put it on a secretly recorded video, it was akin to “tossing gold bars off the Titanic.” The eight groups were allocated sums ranging from $400 million to $6.9 billion. Several of them were formed in August of 2023, just one month after the grant applications went live in July of 2023, when it became clear that large nine- and 10-figure grants would be up for grabs. The boards and staff of these eight groups include Democratic donors, people with connections to the Obama and Biden administrations, and prominent Democrats like Stacey Abrams.

I guess Trump is just taking his cue from the Dems.

$80 million is just the initial findings. Ya'll have no patience, let them cook. You want shit balanced, it's never going to get balanced with billions in corruption and wasteful spending.

Well, typically the updated DOGE findings end up lower than their initial findings.....

..and again..waste is in the eye of the beholder. The press briefing just mentions DEI initiatives. Hell, the last one isn't even controversial! It's a study on climate and how it affects the stability of regions related to war re: resource scarcity..which is an actual thing.............It's not as though they found that due to some payroll glitch there are armies of people with red staplers working in a basement.

Let these MAGA nerds save the country. Big Balls and Repdata are gonna expose em, but can our leaders clean up the system permanently? This chance isn’t going to come around very often. The people actually get to see under the hood.

SpaceX’s Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy have an operational failure rate of approximately 0.87% for all launches and 0.26% for the Falcon 9 Block 5. Including Starship’s developmental test failures would increase this rate, but those are not operational missions.

NASA's rate it higher than that. SpaceX’s rapid launch cadence and developmental testing introduce more visible failures, but its operational success rate is better.

Quick...do the failure rate of the rocket program they just launched...because you know..that's the context here.

Starship's developmental test mission failure rate is like 25-35%, which is higher than NASA's Saturn V and the Space Shuttle, but lower than NASA's X-33/34 program. However that is how Space X does their development cycle. They innovate much faster than NASA, and so far they've reduced the cost to deliver payload to LEO by nearly 100x. It appears way higher because their optempo is significantly higher than NASA's ever was, making the failures occur closer together.
