If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company.
It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create.
They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms.
I’m happy to invest and/or help

Here's a small list of the ways you directly benefit from the National Weather Service on a daily basis.
The agency is a public good that issues critical, lifesaving forecasts and alerts. We must save it from indiscriminate and irreparable damage.

Just had a ~10 min convo with Hailey Farrar, explaining to her that she cannot be in charge. It was only after I added the condition of “when it’s sleeping time” that she agreed to the terms, and settled back into her parking space at the top of the bed. Because this is what I’m doing at 3:00 AM.

I don’t know about you, but I’ve been seeing ads and unsolicited recipes for “overnight oats” for what must be at least a year, probably more like 7 years because that’s what happens when time goes by.

I have something to say, but it’s more than 300 characters. It’s elaborate and glorious, and really funny, and it would bring peace on earth, etc.
See? If I could use more than 300 characters, I’d tell you about the “etc.” right now!
This all reminds me of a Sesame Street book, starring Grover…

Serious post: if you are a licensed driver and are someone who regularly stops one or more car lengths behind the person in front of you at stop lights (and in the drive thru line!), approximately 75% of other drivers and I need an explanation. Thanks in advance.
