Else Should DOGE Change America?"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Up till now my thoughts on DOGE combing through the federal budget involved how much money could be stripped from the budget deficit.\u00a0 But something else occurs to me.\u00a0 In addition to the wasteful spending on hare-brained research projects and woke propaganda we will also learn which companies have benefitted most from government contracts (both defense and non-defense).\u00a0 And this list may explain the agendas some of these companies follow.\u00a0 For instance, how much money does Google get from the federal government.\u00a0 Does this money represent a significant part of Google\u2019s revenues?\u00a0 Does it have any effect on the agenda that Google pursues?\u00a0 Also, if that agenda is biased against conservative individuals and corporations can the Trump administration dissuade Google from this agenda by threatening their government contracts?<\/p>\n<p>Here I\u2019m using Google as an example.\u00a0 For instance, defense contractors like Raytheon, Boeing, etc. depend for a very large chunk of their income on defense contracts.\u00a0 They are beholden to the DoD for their very existence.\u00a0 Forcing them to drop practices and attitudes that clash with the directives of the Trump administration is assured to work.\u00a0 Using this kind of approach, it seems that great inroads can be made in the private sector.\u00a0 Law suits, audits of corporate documents and whistle-blower activity could go a long way in de-woke-ifying much of the corporations that do significant business with the federal government.<\/p>\n<p>Next up would be lawsuits against banks that \u201cde-bank\u201d conservative businesses and individuals.\u00a0 De-banking has been the subject of frequent stories about individuals and companies that don\u2019t toe the line on woke practices.\u00a0 A good example is the free-speech social platform Gab that has been forced to go to incredible lengths to work around the de-banking and other financial boycotting that woke corporations have instituted against it.\u00a0 It seems that a Trump administration Justice Department should already be investigating any and all complaints from conservatives and their companies both as individual crimes and as part of a RICO conspiracy.\u00a0 In fact, I\u2019ll go further.\u00a0 Even though we\u2019re only one month into the Trump administration, I\u2019m already disappointed that investigations haven\u2019t already been announced into these practices.<\/p>\n<p>And if DOGE really wants something interesting to investigate let them set some of their AI geniuses loose on Google\u2019s AI and find out why it always creates images of the Founding Fathers or Vikings or any other exclusively northern European individuals as if they were indigenous to Sub-Saharan Africa.\u00a0 I\u2019m sure people with the correct computer savvy would very quickly locate the smoking gun of anti-white discrimination in these Google products.\u00a0 And then Google would be forced to explain how this little pet project doesn\u2019t violate the ban on DEI in federal contracts to Donald Trump personally or risk losing the enormous contracts they currently have with Washington.<\/p>\n<p>Well, maybe that last is too ambitious.\u00a0 But you get the idea.\u00a0 I\u2019m convinced the federal government has been picking winners and losers by the selection of contractors and this selection is tied to the \u201cpolitics\u201d of these contracting companies.\u00a0 Eliminating the biases by forcing changes on these companies, or better, by selecting alternative companies that do not have a leftist bias, could enormously shift the current leftist bias in corporate America.<\/p>\n<p>And finally, the black hole of leftist bias, the dreaded \u201cterms of service.\u201d\u00a0 Companies tack a wall of text to their service agreement that provides them with literally an infinite number of objections to anything you could possibly do as a sentient being in the Milky Way galaxy, but then refuse to tell you exactly which of the myriads of conditions, they claim you have violated.\u00a0 What is needed is a federal law that states that if a company claims you are in violation of their terms of service, then they have to provide a detailed explanation of this violation.\u00a0 And if a US citizen wants to dispute this claim there will be a federal arbiter to hear the dispute gratis.<\/p>\n<p>Well, that\u2019s enough of that.\u00a0 Me daydreaming about Trump and Musk punishing woke companies is fun but farfetched.\u00a0 But investigating the relationships between the federal government (and Congress) and the contractors that get government contracts will be an even bigger story of bias, waste, graft and corruption than the NGOs that have been such an interesting grab bag to fish around in.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Up
