Summary
A leaked TSA email suggests funding for bomb-sniffing dogs has been halted under Elon Musk.
The email states that vet visits, kenneling, and food are “put on hold” until further guidance.
TSA deploys over 1,000 canine teams, with training costing $33,000 per dog.
The funding freeze contradicts Trump’s “tough on crime” stance and coincided with the White House celebrating “K9 Veterans Day.”
I’m reading this and thinking “this can’t be real”. How did we end up here? I really don’t get it.
Millions of people who voted for Biden in 2020 stayed home in 2024. Republican numbers stayed the same.
By abstaining from voting for Harris, the entire US collectively voted for the worst option.
He’s basically doing a scream test, you shut off something, and if nobody comes back to you asking why it’s down, you can assume nobody was using it, and you can just leave it shut down. If it was needed, you just spin it back up.
Obviously that’s not a huge issue with computers (although you’ll have a bad time if you do it across the board or with backup systems), but you can’t do that shit to people (or in this case animals).
He’s doing silicon valley stuff to real life, and you just have to be a complete idiot to think that’s a good idea.
I have a idea. We do our own scream test.
Let’s turn his brain off permanently.
And we Don’t bother listening for anyone complaining about it.
It’s the perfect plan.
I prefer Luigi’s method personally. Shoot CEOs until someone cares.
Be the change you want to see in the world.
Are you wearing a wire dude?
Are you a Trump supporter dude?
Or a twisted monster
It started with Gerry Springer, really. We started celebrating the most awful qualities of humanity and normalized them.
MTV becoming a viral “reality” TV show hosting things like “The Real World” I think brought awful qualities to the mainstream, then social media gave everyone the opportunity to be THAT viral reality tv star. It may have started with Jerry, but MTV spread it to the masses. At the end of the day it was all driven by the pursuit of profits. All roads lead to capitalism, after all.
I’d say that Springer was influenced by Oprah Winfrey, whose show about abuse, neglect, crime and vice was influenced by her harrowing childhood, a product of racism, and capitalist-induced poverty.
And it turns out she was lying or possibly severely misremembering her childhood. She didn’t grow up in poverty. Oprah sucks, she gave us Drs Phil and Oz.
Didn’t he apologize for that and said had he known what was unleashed he would have shut it down?
