Certain depths to plumb require superior intelligence. I doubt I will see you there.

Wow, another really strong response from a typical high IQ, critically thinking leftist.

Spittlescreech? That goes with spittlespew. I made those words up. That's okay in English prose especially when you want to be creative, not to give anything to myself for being creative. But don't both words conjure up a wonderful visual of some guy standing on the street corner unshaven, hair stuck out all over his head just screaming and frothing and he's got mucus dripping out of his nose that's just flying everywhere as he bellows and yells and waves his arm in the air. 

 

Like most Trump opponents that believe in things like the Russia hoax. I wanted some quick shorthand for the above and I thought that spittlespew and spittlescreech were apropos. Feel free to use them, I have no pride in author.

 

Maybe I'll send them to the Urban dictionary to describe extreme freak out or meltdown.

You are a liar.

 

"“Consistent with President @realDonaldTrump’s instructions, all federal employees will shortly receive an email requesting to understand what they got done last week,” Musk posted. “Failure to respond will be taken as a resignation.”  

 

Shortly thereafter, government workers across multiple agencies received a brief email with the subject line: “What did you do last week?” The message instructed them to reply with five bullet points outlining their accomplishments and to copy their manager.""

Please point out the lie.

I'd like to see Musk and the team at DOGE answer such an email...and Trump!

Apparently Trump can waste as much (taxpayers) money as he likes. Kristi Noem, the head of Homeland Security, says that Trump instructed her to make ads that ‘thank him for closing the border’. To the tune of a mere $200 million. Money well spent, I’m sure…

Anybody with half a brain could make an email with 5 bullet points in a few minutes. Even if you are unwilling or somehow unable use AI. The gnashing of teeth over this is just moronic.

Me: Write a short email describing what I did lastl week using five bullet points. Make me sound like an important government official while not disclosing any actual position i hold.

 

ChatGPT:

 

Dear Mr. Musk,

Last week, I executed a series of high-priority initiatives essential to ongoing objectives. Key actions included:

• Overseeing critical infrastructure assessments to ensure operational readiness and long-term resilience in key locations.
• Facilitating high-level discussions with key stakeholders to advance strategic interests and maintain stability in evolving scenarios.
• Conducting on-site evaluations to reinforce compliance, efficiency, and alignment with broader directives.
• Reviewing intelligence reports and logistical frameworks to optimize resource allocation and enhance situational awareness.
• Implementing targeted measures to mitigate emerging risks while strengthening core capabilities for future contingencies.

Further briefings can be arranged upon request.

Best,
Cryingdick.

That's assuming there's really an employee there, and they're even reading their e-mail.  Musk is of the belief that some employees aren't even real and paychecks are going out to nefarious actors.  And other so called employees aren't working at all. 

 

Whether he's right or wrong, I can't think of an easier way to ferret them out.  I think of it as a 2FA to get your paycheck.  If you don't respond, you won't.

This exercise has a cost.

 

1. All government departments operate a "Time Sheet" App. The data is already there for a time and motion study (which is what they used to call it). The exercise wa entirely uncessary.

2. There are about 3 million  federal employees. Most will not be in sensitive positions. Some will be in positions where some of their work is sensitive, and others will be in roles were most of their work is sensitive. The email sent requests employees not to share details of sensitive  work. Assume 30 minutes of the working day is needed to respond to the emaiil. Some will complete it very fast, others will need further checks. So 1.5 million manhours were expended on this task just sending the emails.

3. Most people are in salaried positions, 40-45 hours per week. Each hour needs to accounted for, which is part of the point of this exercise However, along with the various department time sheet Apps, the federal government is a huge user of SAP. Among many things, SAP is used for project management; team members book hours expended on a project. It can be used to analyse actual duration of tasks against planned duration. When estimating the cost of a project, necessary for setting budgets, project managers can input  hourly rates based on the senority of the resource, and number of FTEs. The rate is a combination of labour (payroll) cost and overhead (ie. the cost to the organsation of someone being in the office, so reflecting building cost, provision of services, cost of workplace insurance etc), so its often much higher that the resource's salary. In the past, I have used rates of between $60 and 150 per hour. Settling on $105/hour, this email exercise cost the tax payer $157,500,000, not including DOGE staffing costs.

4. I have not estimated the costs in analysing  around 3 million emails. The email sent includes no proforma, so responses might be in various formats and forms. I suspect not a single email will be read.

4. An imponderable cost is any resulting fraud. The email, with its header, has been published.

 

 

A criminal can use this to impersonate. Phishing attacks now can spooth genuine email addresses; you think its come from a genuine sender. Often they will have a sense of urgency,  An email could be sent suggesting a problem with the revious email, or requiring further answers. Some employees might be rash in replying. Its fairly easy to compile names of federal employees from public domain sources, such as LinkedIn, but also from US government open soucs. If an email is not available, its not very hard to guess the email. In addition, there. are thousands of personal emails available on the Darkweb. There are about 130 million people in the US of working again; so if you coul spam 100,000 gmail/hotmail/outlook accounts related to US IP addresses, then there are 2300 Marks. who are government employees, who suddently get an email on a weds asking them to urgently respond as the government has accidently sacked them and deleted their email (doesn't have to be true, though I note they were stuggling to rehire nuclear safety records as personal records had been deleted).
