Hi, so I'm starting my senior thesis this year on political polarization and the effects social media and echo chambers has on it. So my question is, how would you describe the relationship between social media and political polarization, especially now that Elon Musk owns X and has advocated for freedom of speech?

How are you? Good. I just want to drill in a bit about Doge and some of the what?

And about some of these like hiring hirings and some of the unconstitutional moves they've been making. To be more useful here, when your claim is that you're trying to make the government more efficient and then you arbitrarily fire a bunch of people, for example, for the nuclear people, a bunch of them were fired and then they had to get them back.

You're wasting time and effort by randomly and arbitrarily picking how to handle these cases. If your claim is that you want to be efficient, you should just immediately start firing people. You have to go over this with a lot more methodical effort and that's not what's happening. And on top of that, The Doge administration will not save enough money.

Even if you were to fire every single government employee, they would not even be able to get to a fraction of how much revenue we need to get for taxes. That's not enough, and it's not helpful. And when you go over those placards, you can flash them and say that, like... I mean, it's $115 million for equity assessment programs. That's a lot of money. No, it is not.

With regards, compared to how much we need to run the country. Hold on. This is a very important point. We're talking about scale here. About $2.6 trillion of revenue comes from our income taxes. If you're going to make these cuts, you need to meaningfully account for them.
