"defund the police!"
the monkey's paw curls another finger
Damn.
you know what, I'd rather they stop the kidnappings and brutalizing impoverished communities first, but if this is how they're doing it, eventually somebody's gonna take advantage. here's hoping their politics are as incomprehensible as mangione.
K9 units are considered police officers. So he essentially wants to punish some very good (and cute!) police officers who should be getting lots of good food and belly rubs for helping so many people be safe on their flights.

Ok, first remove any kind of bomb detection from any flight he's taking. Need to show that he's serious about saving money

"Richest man in the world to starve dogs so he can have more money."
I wish they'd be more frank. They just want more. The same class that tells us to make our own toilet paper and stop getting that morning coffee, are now digging into the pockets of dogs just for a few more coins to rub together. They'll kill us all for what amounts to pocket change for them. How much better this time line would be if he just ceases to exist.
Its not even saving anyone money, either, which is the empty pretense they're doing all this under
Last month was more expensive by a significant margin than the same month last year.
I keep waiting to find out where the line is that gets people to actually take to the streets. The bar keeps getting lower as people make more excuses to continue doing nothing.
Its always hard to predict the tipping point. When the Berlin Wall came down, it surprised literally every intelligence agency in the world. Everyone knew the Berlin Wall would fall someday, but nobody had a clue when, how, or why. And NOBODY knew it was that close.
Then one day, it just happened. Someone tried to get through the wall, and a guard just simply refused to stop him, and the floodgates opened. Within minutes, people were smashing the wall with sledgehammers, and within hours the guards were gone, and the citizens were crawling all over it, knocking down sections.
All we can do is prepare and maintain readiness. One day it will tough off somewhere, and it will spread fast. Have a plan, and remain alert.
That doesn't happen in North America

bro, I despised you already but now you went so far beyond the limits, there is no turning back! Don't feed dogs? Anyone who trained a dog and works with that dog would rather starve than not taking care of the dog. But I get it, dogs are loving and loyal to the extreme. Both are concept you will never comprehend.
No more DEI! (Dogs Eating & Ingesting)
Legally-speaking, K9 units are considered police officers. "Elon Musk withholds food, housing, and healthcare from over one thousand very handsome police officers" is a much better headline.
Is it? I think many people might get more upset regarding doggies being starved than cops.
That's very paradoxical. There are no good cops, but these officers are all good boys/girls. Therefore they can't be police officers.
They can't be police officers. Dogs aren't bastards.
Police dogs very much are. It's not their fault though unlike their human counterparts
Some of them are forced to be though. Very much reminds me of the dog that attacked the officer because it saw him beating a suspect.
Good boy.
Can we amend the saying to "the only good cop is either a dead cop or a dog"

This man is literally trying to starve dogs to death so he can get a tax cut.
That is a level of evil that Saturday morning cartoons would reject as being over the top.
your talking to a guy that uses his child as a human shield, and would abandon him as soon as he has no use for said shield.
Yet he already did it weeks ago for actual humans.
Straight up, most Saturday morning cartoon villains would be like "go home, heroes. I've got this one, and I don't want you to see what I'm about to do to him."

I'm reading this and thinking "this can't be real". How did we end up here? I really don't get it.
People in this thread want to blame television which is fucking weird and straight from the 90s. The real issue is every one needs a fucking civics lesson. Half the people don't even know the intended function of government the other half are arguing about which facts are facts.
I'm mean, not even to mention our society is designed around greed. They dressed it up real nice but end of the day the engine that drives the machine is pure greed.
He's basically doing a scream test, you shut off something, and if nobody comes back to you asking why it's down, you can assume nobody was using it, and you can just leave it shut down. If it was needed, you just spin it back up.
Obviously that's not a huge issue with computers (although you'll have a bad time if you do it across the board or with backup systems), but you can't do that shit to people (or in this case animals).
He's doing silicon valley stuff to real life, and you just have to be a complete idiot to think that's a good idea.

I propose bringing all the hungry canines over to meet Elon. It should be televized.

And he hates dogs?
This man is beyond redemption.
Sociopaths don't understand the role of pets. That's why Krasnov is the first president in 100 years to not have a pet.

Surely THIS will get price of eggs down.
Kristi Noem must have plans for these dogs that for some reason won't need food, shelter, or vet care afterwards.
They can just eat the bombs they find during their work. Like a barn 🐈. They also just eat the mice they catch.
This is so fucking funny, everyday we (the world) get to read news articles about the United States of Idiots.
Disclaimer: I don't think that all Americans are idiots, many of you are okay.
