Another Veghead original: post a link, copy a paragraph, add a punchline, and vanish before anyone asks for your actual opinion. At this point, your OPs are basically PowerPoint slides without the presentation.
 
Let’s assume for a moment the NYT analysis is correct—DOGE’s projected savings are way off. Fair enough. But here’s the actual question, not that we expect an answer (you’re sitting at dodge number 75 and climbing):

 Of course, I expect the usual pattern:

• Step 1: Ignore the question.
• Step 2: Ask three unrelated ones.
• Step 3: Demand I prove a quote you already posted.
• Step 4: Call me a moron and strike through everything.

That’s how we got to 75 dodges, after all. Just giving you the respect of setting expectations.

If the revised $150 billion in projected savings is still greater than what previous administrations have managed through bureaucratic efficiency, isn’t it still something?

Error on that scale would never be tolerated in the private sector...

Or is your position that unless a plan is 100% fulfilled, it has zero value?

Even assuming 150 billion passes cursory scrutiny, AND is all "current", it represents a percentage of total federal spending so small you can't calculate it...not because the math is difficult, mind you.

At this scale, even the promised savings might not meet the cost of remediating the errors of the process....and it certainly doesn't meet the level of "waste" you would anticipate in any enterprise of its size.

Now tell everyone what you refuse to do as a result of me answering your question directly, and the first time.

Alright, fair’s fair—you actually answered. First time, directly, without a detour through sarcasm, strike-throughs, or 20 unrelated questions. That alone deserves a pause in the dodge count. To what does the forum owe this pleasure? I need to frame your reply, given it was your first time since 2017 that you did indeed answer a question the first time. 

Now, I still think you're brushing past some nuance here. Sure, $150B might be a small percentage in the context of the whole federal budget, but if it's legit and recurring, it’s not nothing either. Nobody said it was a miracle cure—it’s a drop, but in a bucket that leaks this much, drops add up. Kind of like your 75 dodges.It started off as only 1 since we kept score, but they add up after a while. 

 That said—you answered, I skip a dodge. But don’t get used to it. You're still riding high at 75+ unanswered questions. This was one clean play on a very messy scoreboard.
 Let's see if you can keep the streak alive—or if that was just a brief flash of coherence before we return to the regularly scheduled dodgefest.

That wasn't worth the effort.

Weasel more explicitly, and abjectly.

Now!

DOGE Is Far Short of Its Goal, and Still Overstating Its Progress

Elon Musk now says his group will produce only 15 percent of the savings it promised. .

LET THE SOUR GRAPES FLOW THROUGH YOU.....YOU PETULANT CHILD...!!

There it is, the return of Emperor Veghead, barking for abject weaseling like he just conquered a real argument instead of answering one question for the first time in eight years.
 Don’t worry, I already called the forum archivist to mark the date. We even started framing your answer. But if you're expecting a parade and a confession of inferiority on top of it... you'll have to settle for your usual throne made of dodged questions and imaginary victories.

"Prescience"       

Did you see my tribute thread just for you? I literally told the whole forum what you did. I even nominated your answer. Dumb ***.

I don't take orders from you. What the **** are you talking about? I was very honest about it. Much more than I could expect from you.

     Where’s the abjection? Oh sorry, I thought answering a single question in 8 years earned you a sarcastic tribute thread, not a coronation.You want abjection? Try answering 77 more questions without a dodge, a deflection, or a strike-through tantrum. Then we’ll talk about kneeling.Until then, enjoy your frame. It’s the first and probably last time you’ll see your own coherence on display.

Narcissists  don't have the intellectual capacity to inflict abjection on anyone. You fell flat. As always.

You're lying...and you haven't even answered one...

Now Google "Abjection" and start bringing it.

Ah, there it is—the royal narcissist decree: I owe abjection, you owe nothing, and 77 unanswered questions somehow don’t exist because you say so.
I Googled “abjection,” by the way. Pretty sure your reflection was the first result.

Wanna bet BV  doesn't even realize that those free online IQ tests he has taken  boost everyone's real world IQs by 10% or more...?
I would rather see what his Wonderlic score is, after taking the test with no scratch paper or pocket calculators allowed.......
