The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Again, that's not the correct way to think about it. If the President walked over to USAID and asked to look at things, they would have to show him the things he asked to see. And probably would have. But Elon Musk's deputies are not the President.

They've been empowered by the President to do exactly as they have. What, is Trump supposed to visit every single federal agency and audit them himself?

So this person got fired because Musk's deputies weren't given access to the info - but were they supposed to be given access?

LOL. They dropped "classified" into their complaints to generate exactly this kind of reaction.

What kinds of "classified" check-writing to do they do over there? The answer is they don't do any, and that line of argument won't fly.
