If I were a billionaire, I'd use my wealth (and my fame) to help people less fortunate than me.
I certainly wouldn't be using it to demonize the less fortunate, and troll and crush them with the social media company I bought.
That's why people hate that fucker.

Opinion | DOGE says it’s saving $100 billion. It’s about to lose a lot more.
Cuts to the IRS will backfire by giving tax evaders a free pass.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.
18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

GIFT ARTICLE: The thing is- Trump does not have the authority to shutter FEMA, which would require congressional action. Things could change but historically, lawmakers from both parties have supported FEMA, knowing that their district or state could need the agency’s help at any time.
Trump Suggests Shutting Down FEMA, Saying States Should Manage Disasters
“I’d rather see the states take care of their own problems,” the president said. Federal emergency managers from both parties have made the same argument.

Three things that remain true, no matter what Trump does:
1) Trans people have as much right to express their identities with dignity as anyone else.
2) Immigrants are awesome, create wealth, and make our culture better.
3) Trade with people around the world enriches us, and not just financially.
