What’s the federal budget for sippy cups?

Holy shit, I had to check whether this was the onion or not on this one.
I susppect that billionaires prefer young people in certain roles because many young people lack the experience to recognize evil instructions.
Same reason why religion is pushed on children.
Same reason why they won’t hire smart cops.
I know I’ve wanted younger people in government, but I was hoping for people in their 30’s or 40’s. These kids can’t even rent a car legally. I’ve got a feeling that they’re just puppets.
Speaking as a former puppet: all of Capitol Hill/much of D.C. is run by 20-somethings like this, precisely because they’re easy to manipulate.
B/C 20-somethings are ideologically more malleable and essentially going through political puberty as they are becoming full-fledged adults. I remember I was still mostly parroting my parents’ views at that age, and am glad I grew.
You can rent a car at 18, at least in Colorado and California. I’m pretty sure it’s everywhere though
I was under the impression it was 25. We were both kinda wrong, though. Minimum age is 18, but that only exists in New York and Michigan. Everywhere else is 21. Anyone under 25 is expected to pay an additional cost per day that they have the vehicle. TIL

25 is usually when you’re not considered a high risk driver and your insurance rates are supposed to drop.
“One, a senior adviser to the director, is a 21-year-old whose online resume touts his work for Palantir,” per Wired, while another “who reports directly to Scales, graduated from high school in 2024.” A copy of the latter’s resume include his summer internship with Musk’s Neuralink, alongside jobs as — we assure you that we are not joking — a camp counselor and bike mechanic.
Although both these tykes are ostensibly poised to rip and tear through America’s federal agencies, Wired declined to name them “because of their ages” — a somewhat baffling choice given that both appear to be of legal age. (And if they’re not, well, that’s a much bigger problem.)
At least the 5th article shitting on wired for not naming them…
But no one else has the names besides Wired?
Like, I agree they should disclose the names, but I don’t understand why no one else can find out who these “kids” are.
Most “news” sites don’t partake in actual journalism, they just shit out news from other sites. It’s kind of like the human centipede, it’s all shit beyond a single, original source.
How do I get myself into this position to ruin Musk’s job?
Apparently he had an internship at neurolink?
With people like this you just have to get in their orbit and tell them what they want to hear.
Musk has always wanted children to think he’s cool, and he weirdly does a good job of appealing to them. So I guess be as young as possible and tell him his a multi-talented genius and voice of his generation?
Just throw all your integrity out the window basically
It’s the second time I heard about this internship under the post about the same article, and the more I hear about it, the darker my feelings grow about this first Musk’s fuckup at calling a child rescuer a pedophile. This accusation is empty, yet it won’t surprise anyone if he does that too.
Suck his cock
High school in the US goes up until you are 20? Or was he behind a couple of years
while another “who reports directly to Scales, graduated from high school in 2024.
So two people.
In the quoted part it only gives the age of the 21 year old, and says when the 19 year old graduated.
Various articles are providing the same info in different ways about them.
I see, kinda confusing
The 21 year old is a separate person.
They’re trying to eat their cake and have it too.
Nice to see someone else who gets the saying right that didn’t hole up in a cabin in the woods.
I’ll be in my bunker if you need me.
Bye now
The Republican party was the best thing to ever happen to America’s enemies.
