Whoa.. Vivian Graubard over there on LinkedIn, bringing the whole fucking receipt book.
Turns out those whiz kid DOGE "geniuses" couldn't pass the basic, entry level tech screen it takes to get hired at 18F.
They didn't even meet the bar to *get an interview*.

I believe Musk and DOGE disbanded 18F because we stood in the way of their "procurement capture" operation. We get the government *out* of wasteful contracts. Musk wants that money back for himself.

Slashing NIH and bragging about the money you’re saving is like burning down your house and gloating about the reductions in maintenance and utility bills.

A lot of damage this week… bsky.app/profile/sund...
41/47 (87%) of NIH study sections are cancelled this week
Frustrating to see all this good research stalled (& not funded)
You can search for study sections that ‘did not meet as scheduled’ here with ones with * ⤵️
