#Amtrak CEO Stephen Gardner is stepping down after #DOGE leader #ElonMusk called for the #transit service to be #privatized.

Amtrak, also known as the National Railroad Passenger Corporation, is the national passenger #rail service for the #US. It is nationally chartered, meaning the federal government is the majority stockholder. It also means Amtrak board members are nominated by the president & confirmed by the Senate.

Requiring people to show up to #SSI offices starting 31 March 2025, won't work for many disabled and seniors, esp. since many offices are CLOSING!

#USAFascistShitShow #FIGHTBACK

Where are the protests to stop #DOGE, Trump nd #AdolphMusk from interfering with #SocialSecurity?

Don't American activists have #seniors or #disabledpeople in their lives?

Financial Times piece on $1.4 billion in shaky accounting on #Tesla’s books is… whoah.

Due to the reality of British libel laws and #ElonMusk’s propensity to sue his detractors i have to assume this is one of the most heavily legally vetted and fact checked things you will ever read.

p.s. the FT reporter is #DanMcCrum, whose decade long crusade to take down the #Wirecard fraud is one of the more insane stories you can read on the subject of accounting based forensic journalism (McCrum wrote a book about the experience called “Money Men”)

#Doge and #president have no clue. One person loses his job. no taxes collected. No or little money to buy, a house, car, fridge, washer, dryer, furniture, clothes, shoes, dishes, food, movies, baseball, basketball , football games, the list goes on and on. No multiply that by the tens of thousands that are being fired. Now think about the people involved making, selling, delivering, items, servers, players, others. They don’t make money because little is spent. Exponentially negative sum game.

The Trump administration halted some food testing and shut down a committee studying bacteria in infant formula.

The admin has gone too far with cost savings, we must protect infants' health & all American's lives against the genocidal #TrumpMusk regime.
