Look at that tropical environment Ferd brings:

A whole lotta beer there.

Cocgust!

Lol: The Trump administration’s claim that it is saving billions of dollars through DOGE-related cuts to federal contracts is drastically exaggerated, according to a new POLITICO analysis of public data and federal spending records. Through July, DOGE said it has saved taxpayers $52.8 billion by canceling contracts, but of the $32.7 billion in actual claimed contract savings that POLITICO could verify, DOGE’s savings over that period were closer to $1.4 billion. Despite the administration’s claims, not a single one of those 1.4 billion dollars will lower the federal deficit unless Congress steps in. Instead, the money has been returned to agencies mandated by law to spend it. DOGE’s savings calculations are based on faulty math. The group uses the maximum spending possible under each contract as its baseline — meaning all money an agency could spend in future fiscal years. That amount can far exceed what the government has actually committed to pay out. Counting this “ceiling value” gives a false picture of savings for taxpayers. “That's the equivalent of basically taking out a credit card with a $20,000 credit limit, canceling it and then saying, ‘I've just saved $20,000,’” said Jessica Tillipman, associate dean for government procurement law studies at George Washington University Law School. “Anything that’s been said publicly about [DOGE’s] savings is meaningless.”

Chronic ones at that. I’m sure it will be 80/60 on Halloween though.

Well..at least we have 6 months of fall incoming.

Embrace the coc, it’s the only coc you have.

It’s also why Musky got angry and broke up with his authoritarian boyfriend.

Yup and they do a great job at making us all think it is a you vs me problem when it is really should be us vs them.

Some of us knew while a select few prayed it wouldn’t be true.

Take it away for working class consumers while they give it to big corporations and big banks instead? Socialism for the rich, individualism for everyone else…

It is well worth it. At least it was until your oligarch regime is stripping away green energy incentives.

EBDITK

And The cell over Middlebury has not moved.

Poor Ditty…wrong again.

Congrats all. Late month continues to look coc’d:

Need a new roof before we go solar but yes it is in the pipeline. Heat pumps, new roof, and solar.

$1500

We used 2400kwh lol. Looks like our two central AC units are shot so we’ll need to replace them with heat pumps in the spring.

The best part of summeh is approaching as the coc expands and starts to dominate.

Eff your data…we fire people now if they don’t show what we want and make up our own data.

A middle ground does not exist in that radical and extreme mind.

Lets dismiss any stretches of low dew coc and only call out what we give ourselves happy endings to…

You need help.

Crazy that peak summeh is behaving like this.
