I assumed it was satire at first. Then I read your reply. Yikes. Youâre right.

Yes, but wasnât he the first European in America? The answer is no if you mean the countryâŠand actually still no if you donâtâŠbut Iâm sure none of the assholes involved even begin to understand that.

He did set foot in Puerto Rico.
But there was no U.S. in 1493.

And finds Leif Eriksson also there.
And, as has been pointed out - there were already people in the Americas for at least ~ 16,000 years by the time the Europeans showed up. Which is about four times as long ago as the Great Pyramid construction project, and most people agree the pyramids were built âa really long time agoâ.

âI would say the culture shock is mostly a lot of meetings, not a lot of decisions,â Lavingia told Fast Company in the piece, which also noted that he noticed the number of mission-driven people working in government. âBut honestly, itâs kind of fineâbecause the government works. Itâs not as inefficient as I was expecting, to be honest. I was hoping for more easy wins.â
In the new post, Lavingia detailed his work extracting HR data to lay off employees at VA and working to implement artificial intelligence at the department as part of DOGE. The White House, Office of Management and Budget and VA didnât respond to requests for comment.

Most of that Court is Obama and Biden appointees, so I feel pretty confident that when they actually issue a ruling, not just a temporary stay, theyâll agree with the lower court.

Right? A lot of those names thrown in the hat were definitely not American. Colombus, of course, Alfred Hitchcock, Ingrid Bergman, Junipero Serra, and more Iâm sure but I didnât bother to go through the whole list.
Itâs all just stupid AF.

Almost as if there were easy solutions (sorry, âeasy winsâ), they would have already been done.
Thatâs the thing about government â everybody knows itâs inefficient. Itâs slow, deliberative, and all too often deadlocks on consensus. When things are moving slowly, I like to say, âitâs moving at the speed of governmentâ. Thatâs not necessarily a bad thing.
Weâre all seeing the result of when you at breakneck speed and break shit just to see what happens. Thatâs fine when youâre running a startup with 10 employees that is building a decentralized AI aggregation platform to curate NFT-backed tokenized quantum synergies (now available as a Chrome extension). Not so fine when youâre responsible for the lives and well being of hundreds of millions of people.

Iâve heard people complain about how antiquated government computer systems are. You know what? Antiquated systems are perfect when you just need them to work ALL THE TIME. Of course the military prefers systems with 0% downtime, but itâs also pretty important when your grandma needs her social security check to come on time so that she can have heat, water, rent, medicine, etc.
