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, we 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.
Or a twisted monster
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?
It started with Gerry Springer, really. We started celebrating the most awful qualities of humanity and normalized them.
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.
Didn’t he apologize for that and said had he known what was unleashed he would have shut it down?
