A big time decision that has been made...

[Morpheus]

Some of us are like-minded and feel or think about what is happening inside this country. I will not start by saying who I believe should or should not be president.

The dude who started a company to make cars that suit the Jetsons, Mr. Elon Musk has been given the right to know and research what every single one of you is worth!!!! WTF??? Can one of you guys fill me in or tell me or the rest of us how you feel about this security breach? How in God's name can this fat slob gain the knowledge that only you should know along with Congress? I completely believe that everything happens for a reason and when it does like it or not God lets it happen but this? This guy has the right to know almost more about your wallet than your wife. Whatever...

Thank you!
Morph.

You realize of course this is about as political a post as one can get right?

I have a few points to spare. Nothing Musk can learn isn't already known by thousands of bureaucrats working in the many government offices he is investigating. Billions being squandered. The future of our youth being heavily indebted. This oversight is LONG overdue.

The list of what we are spending for crap and who is melting down does not surprise me.

3 million people work for the Federal government. https://data.bls.gov/dataViewer/view/timeseries/CES9091000001

You vote to elect 5 of them:  President, VP, 2 Senators, 1 Representative.

The other 99.9989% of Federal officials/employees are appointed.

About 100,000+ (probably more like 500,000+) of those 3 million Federal employees have access to confidential information on citizens (various folks in IRS, DHS, FBI, OPM, SSA, HHS, etc.).

So, getting worked up about one out of those 100,000+ people (whom you otherwise seemingly aren't bothered by in the slightest) is due to either low information, being susceptible to manipulation by a group that knows how to manipulate, or being a willing participant in spreading the meme.
