Does the source of the number matter? If there's a glitch where families have been cashing checks for long dead relatives, shouldn't it stop? Shouldn't we also be going after the people committing the fraud? Why are we picking on the people finding the errors and how they are presenting the information instead of supporting the fix for the issue?

I also laugh at them chalking all of this up as a 'win'. The numbers they are talking about are soooooo small in the grand scheme of things. So yes, they are blowing these wins WAY out of proportion. But maybe, just maybe, all of this digging will eventually hit pay dirt and we can start ending some serious waste.

I laugh at their "We stopped 76 million going to foreign aid!!" 76 million is about 1/1000 of a percent of the national budget. If they find 76 million a day, They might reduce the budget by 1% by the end of Trump's term! Whoohoo!! BUT, if we can expose corruption and hold the participants accountable, THAT would be something. But that will happen right after the Epstein files are taken care of.

OH, well, actually, we spent more than 800 billion OVER the budget last year. So 76 million in savings a day won't even balance the budget, let alone reduce it.

1875 is the 0 number for Cobol-based systems. Why do you think that's what's happening? is it? did anyone prove that? No evidence has been provided to support your conclusion that I've seen.

Because they are LYING about what they've found.

I knew about a 0 date, but couldn't have guessed what it was on Jeopardy. Based on your first post, I figured it was 1875.

How do you know it not? Because Elon says it is? When I look at the evidence provided (Our government is in charge of it), I can totally buy we are sending checks to 150 year olds.

Are you suggesting the number of people collecting SS from false SS numbers is zero?

You think you hate yardwork, but not like this dude. First, props to him for looking into drainage. Worried about being sued or not, it's the right move and he's being proactive. Second, I hope he doesn't think he's getting that $40K back when he tries to sell.

I'm not sure about this one.

The comments roast her, obviously, but I'd be willing to wager they didn't listen to her full explanation. On the surface, it seems petty and dumb, but I kind of agreed with her thought process. Although, I would argue that she should have gotten to know him better before marriage...

So, posting it here because A) it's interesting B) no place else seemed appropriate(?) C) posting your private business online always makes you a moron.

I listened to her entire explanation.

She's dumb. If she had kept it off the internet, she may have had a point. But she did a "hey look at me" and now she's dumb and he is dodging a bullet and I hope he gets "mandatory mental health screening" built into the divorce somewhere, simply for comedy reasons.

I heard about half the people booed her simply because she was an avatar for the team they didn't like.

I'm on her side. I can see the Eagles/Chiefs side of things that Gordon mentions, but, whatever. Spouse first.

Kids these days put all the things on the internet.

Also, I wonder how much she inherited, sounds like she's single now.

I hope it was in the vows, up front, so he wasn't blindsided by the stupidity.

I am too, but Gordon isn't wrong. She's doing exactly the same behavior she's condemning him for.

It wasn't that. If it was, I wouldn't be on her side. It was joining in with the mob.

Be your own person. That's what turned her off.

I assume there were other things leading to this, if not, I'd definitely start sliding to his side.

Why do all the crazies film themselves in their cars? It's like a home studio for mental patients 🤣

Bull to the mother fucking shit.

Especially not at 5'7. I'd guess about 175.

Ok, the people being interviewed are brainwashed morons, but the meme had me cracking up.
