Don't you know that people who use pronouns are weak? I don't use pronouns and think they are unnecessary, but seeing the right freak out over them is amusing.

Oh it definitely could be fraud. It could have been hacked by the Nigerians or Chinese. It could be Trump's or Musk's buddies or maybe Biden, Obama and Pelosi snuck in there in the middle of the night and added a bunch of illegal immigrants. Or maybe Musk is making it up as way to illegally transfer money. There are lots possibilities, but maybe the guy currently in charge of all the money in the country might want to investigate further before giddily telling the world what he found like a three year old. I was mostly just sharing my experience working with this kind of data

I doubt it's as high as 12 million people, but this is something I have seen in my work too. I wouldn't assume it's fraud. It could be in some cases, but it is more likely to be erroneous birthdates due to two-digit years. What I mean is if someone has a two-digit birthyear "00", they were probably born in 2000, but might be assumed to have been born in 1900 due to an old algorithm. 0000 or 9999 could also indicate a missing value. https://www.ntd.com/database-lists-12-million-people-older-than-120-eligible-for-social-security-musk_1048177.html

I agree.

They are not booing USA. They are booing one person.

Baseball is important!

I believe Devers is stating at third base and Bregman is going to second base.

Exactly the same philosophy as Musk!

Better watch out. You'll lose your MAGA card.

I have always been curious about the Junior Felix nontender. He batted .306/.372/.525 for the Tigers at age 26 and then never again played in the majors. I get that the strike screwed things up, but it's fascinating to me that he never got another chance with anyone. This SABR profile suggests that he might have been a lot older than 26: https://sabr.org/bioproj/person/junior-felix/#:~:text=Félix was believed to be,already in his mid-30s.

Businesses too? The MAGA cult is hopeless,but I think real conservatives won't like this.

Yes, I meant indirect.

Health research is not going to be able to function at all if the NIH cuts don't get reversed or substantially mitigated. I think people don't understand the difference between direct costs (not being cut) and indirect costs (severely cut). In my understanding, indirect costs are not in place to make profits, they are things that are essential to research (like equipment and labs) that are not allowed to be part of direct costs.

I understand that there are audits and there should be audits. What Musk is doing goes way beyond an audit. Slashing the budget is not an audit and should never be decided unilaterally.

You guaranteed us that we would like him. You just didn't say which year!

It's a greattime to be alive though! We just won't live as long.

Be careful what you wish for.

But what they are doing now goes way beyond an audit.

Edit: Has NO experience as an auditor Edit: do NOT cut funding This is why I am not an auditor either 😃

He's not an auditor. As far as I know, he has experience as an auditor. Anyway, audits are done to detect fraud or error. Auditors do cut funding which is not fraudulent or erroneous.

She's an outspoken Black woman, so it must be her fault anyway.

Is TikTok the new Fox News?

Again, that's not the point. The problem is the one person who is controlling the budget right now is probably receiving more funding than any individual. That is a huge confict of interest and probably highly illegal. Biden has nothing to do with that. He's done.
