Sen. Pete Ricketts says Elon Musk and DOGE found "stunning" waste like 37,000 software licenses for a government agency with 13,000 employees. "Many of the licenses had never been used."

KanekoaTheGreat on X: "Many of the licenses had never been used." 

"We got 2.4 million federal employees. We have 4.6 million credit cards out there."

• That just leads to opportunities for fraud."

"...there are 22 million people in our Social Security system that are clearly dead. 

These are the kinds of things that open it up to fraud."

John F. Di Leo - If Russia were to be given 100% of the former... | Facebook - John F. Di Leo

• If Russia were to be given 100% of the former land of Ukraine, Russia would be happy.
• If Ukraine were to be returned to 100% of its former borders, Ukraine would be happy.

But we need to live in the real world.
The way to peace is to have these people sit around a table with a map in the middle and start discussing it… and to find their way to a compromise.
Obviously, both the Ukrainian people and the Russian people would like that conversation to take place.
Who is standing in the way?...
And I bet the Ukrainian people even realized the reality of the situation for at least a year now. (and I am beginning to think there is truth to the suspicion that Zelenskyy is resisting elections primarily because he knows he would lose in a landslide.).

• Nobody wants Russia to “win “… but we do need to acknowledge reality, and stop using Ukraine as a meat grinder to chew up Russian people at the expense of their own lives...
