    "During the Apollo missions, the average age of NASA employees, particularly those in Mission Control, was around 28 years old; with many flight controllers being young and recently out of college."

    The above are not my words! So shoot me for being one year off!

    And the average age of SpaceX engineers is 29!

    These young men and women are the brilliant minds behind being able to bring back and landing the solid rocket boosters on a barge, not to mention catching them in mid-air back onto the launch tower "Chopsticks"

    Thanks for proving my point about being older while working on complex problems. In this instance they knew what they were getting into. In the instant matter there are allegedly 4 working on a multi billion agency and we don’t even know what their qualifications are other than friends of president Elon. Tom, the word around the campfire is they are going after the VA next. How about them apples.

    And when these young people end up working in our government are we really supposed to feel that they will be working for what is best for the people of America and not for the oligarchy? Or is what is best for the oligarchy automatically also what best for the mass of us?

    The folks working on USAID have READ ONLY access to the computers. That means they can't alter/change/delete any data, Geoffrey/Christine/Dave.

    So good to see you. Your favorite information site that anyone can change took it a step farther. Fair and Balanced?

    Many become themselves part of the oligarchy and that's why we're in the state we're in! Congressmen and Senators come and go but the non-elected administrative (deep) state keeps pushing the same agenda from one administration to the next. That's why we need term limits not only on the legislative branch, we need term limits to those working in the administrative state perpetuating the agendas of the lobbyists!

    Remember Ross Perot's famous phrase "Giant sucking sound"? That's what I'm hearing now as Trump continues to drain the swamp.

    Literally thousands of government employees have access to information we think is confidential.. The Social Security Administration has over 57,000 employees, 10,000 at the highest level. And we are worried about Elon Musk who is trying to save our country from financial ruin? I say, "Let him have my information. Do what you need to do to trim the financial waste in the deep state."

    They have already found quite a bit of wasteful spending.
    8.2 million to Politico for subscriptions.
    $1.5 million from Biden's administration to 'advance diversity equity and inclusion in Serbia's workplaces and business communities, by promoting economic empowerment of and opportunity for LGBTQI+ people in Serbia
    $2 million for sex changes and “LGBT activism” in Guatemala

    What is the purpose of the USAID?
    USAID is the international humanitarian and development arm of the U.S. government, assisting nations in conflict and other “strategically important countries” by alleviating poverty, disease and other crises, according to a report by the Congressional Research Service.

    President Kennedy recognized the need to unite development into a single agency responsible for administering aid to foreign countries to promote social and economic development. On November 3, 1961, USAID was born and with it a spirit of progress and innovation.

    Look at what they have found in such a short period of time. The fact that you even think you would be given the opportunity to listen to them is amusing.

    This is a good example of what happens when there is a lack of oversight and accountability. Also when we deviate from the original purpose of the agency. How can we get back to an operational government where the departments and agencies are not politicized?

    Just read a lot of the Politico payments were to individuals to ensure speaking out against Republicans. Just my opinion but if there was nothing shady going on why are democrats so outraged? This is not normal behavior.

    And for those that say the people did not elect Musk, we elected Trump who appointed Musk. I would like to know if Kamala Harris got 1 vote to be the Democrat nominee for POTUS? The answer is no. She was installed.

    Have someone show you how to use a blog, especially this one. It's not always about you. My response was to Einar. Your first hint I was not speaking to you was "so good to see you". So stuff it.

    With access to the Treasury computers, Musk and his diaper dandies (apologies to Billy Packer) now have the ability to find out anything they want about you. In fact, if they wanted to cut off your Social Security benefits it could be done with just a keystroke. Is this what you voted for? Musk is a clear and present danger to our democracy.
    I want to see the look on Tom’s face when Musk sends in his diaper gerbils to the VA and they start firing everyone including doctors and nurses along with cutting funding for programs. That is when we find out he is a true believer.

    I think this will be great fun when all these predictions of yours become as meaningless as sewage. I am looking forward to copy/paste your words when the opposite happens. You will be able to delete from here for cya purposes, but they will remain on my copies.
