Elon now has real political power to flex and as we know he is a dumbass extraordinaire. Now he's come out railing against a stopgap funding bill that's chock full of pork because that's how you grease the skids

We are in for a rough four years

    Congressional leaders unveiled the bill's text Tuesday, kicking off a push to pass it by the end of the week to keep the government funded until mid-March.

    I was 90% sure that congress passes budgets for the whole year. Is this just to raise the debt ceiling till March (the end of the current fiscal year)?

      Can't kick that can down the road too hard, or it may not be an issue to report on and uselessly talk about forever, which would free up time in the news to talk about problems not designed to distractions.

        Can't kick the can down the road when there's only toll roads and everything else just collapses
