Thanks for posting. HOORAY smart, hard-working patriots at D.O.G.E. Thank you President Trump & Elon Musk.
“ Sounds like some FR members could benefit.”

Yes…. particularly if they give the course and collect the grift.
Is ‘descope’ officially a word now? Britannica and Merriam Webster don’t appear to recognize it.
Yup—DOGE has done an excellent job.
DOGE still reporting on X.
LOL back in the day I took a bunch of these “touchy-feely” courses at work. Believe it or not some of them were very beneficial and helped me at my job and dealing with other people to get things done. One of the best was a course that dealt with personality types and how to interact and negotiate with them. I went into it thinking it was a waste of time (it was mandatory training) but came out of it with lots of useful information and insights.
The initial goal was 2 trillion dollars. As of today, DOGE has achieved 10.7 of that goal.
If you want to see a running total of the DOGE savings, look towards the upper-left box of the National Debt Clock:
@ENERGY ending 321 wasteful awards, saving the US Taxpayers ~$7.5B, mostly in uneconomic “green” grants.
“Descope” is a verb that means to reduce the scope of a project. This is a common practice in project management, software development, and other fields where projects can become too complex or ambitious. Descoping can involve removing features, reducing the number of deliverables, or simplifying the project’s goals. It’s a strategic decision made to ensure the project remains manageable and can be completed successfully.
That’s a lot of clocks ripe for rescoping.
I was in a MBA program decades ago and they had two courses that sounded incredibly boring.
One was on the human relations/negotiation issue you mentioned.
The other one was on “organizational behavior” which focused on informal (undocumented) functioning of organizations.
Both gave me a critical advantage in the workplace—eventually becoming part of a “secret team” that did “impossible” tasks every day—and I was not even a manager on the org chart.
Yes, I saw the meaning, but at least two major dictionaries don’t recognize it; and it seems a strange construct.
But I guess it beats ‘skibdi’ and ‘delulu’.
Like I said. The last time DOGE reported savings was October 3.
Well, go on . . .
THIS IS WHAT WE VOTED FOR-———
Since the gov began shutting down on Oct 1, maybe that’s the cause?
Getting Things Done is also a valauble work management strategy that helps you keep on target and focus on getting the most important things done first, and not forgetting the others. Another useful training topic.
They saved like $90K killing something that's actually useful if you like efficiency and effective communications. When I use Getting Things Done techniques I'm about 2x more efficient, I just keep falling off the wagon when I go away for a week and have to reset it all and I just say 'too much, I'll do it later'.
Seems like chump change retrieved by wiping out something useful.
Has any of this received the approval of Washington’s real power brokers, the leftist judiciary?
