Summary
A leaked TSA email suggests funding for bomb-sniffing dogs has been halted under Elon Musk.
The email states that vet visits, kenneling, and food are “put on hold” until further guidance.
TSA deploys over 1,000 canine teams, with training costing $33,000 per dog.
The funding freeze contradicts Trump’s “tough on crime” stance and coincided with the White House celebrating “K9 Veterans Day.”
“Richest man in the world to starve dogs so he can have more money.”
I wish they’d be more frank. They just want more. The same class that tells us to make our own toilet paper and stop getting that morning coffee, are now digging into the pockets of dogs just for a few more coins to rub together. They’ll kill us all for what amounts to pocket change for them. How much better this time line would be if he just ceases to exist.
Its not even saving anyone money, either, which is the empty pretense they’re doing all this under
Last month was more expensive by a significant margin than the same month last year.
I keep waiting to find out where the line is that gets people to actually take to the streets. The bar keeps getting lower as people make more excuses to continue doing nothing.
“defund the police!”
the monkey’s paw curls another finger
you know what, I’d rather they stop the kidnappings and brutalizing impoverished communities first, but if this is how they’re doing it, eventually somebody’s gonna take advantage. here’s hoping their politics are as incomprehensible as mangione.
Ok, first remove any kind of bomb detection from any flight he’s taking. Need to show that he’s serious about saving money
Even Hitler loved animals.
it would be hilarious for elon to die in a bombing
More like to die from him doing on cocaine. Rich people almost always OD on cocaine and or alcohol, or antidepressants
Either that or auto asphyxiation when a strangle wank goes wrong
… in Minecraft
No, in real life, so we don’t have to deal with that piece of human garbage anymore.
This isn’t social media controlled by a billionaire, you don’t have to bring this mass social media brainrot.
Don’t taint that game with his presence
K9 units are considered police officers. So he essentially wants to punish some very good (and cute!) police officers who should be getting lots of good food and belly rubs for helping so many people be safe on their flights.
there are no good cops. not even if they’re adorable.
except christopher dorner, and others like him.
Idk I think the “just following orders” defense is allowed for dogs. They actually don’t know any better.
counterpoint: they’re trained from birth to be pigs, and dog brains are bred to never be free of that, to be unfailingly loyal. it maybe a tragic kind of evil, but they are evil, and they should also be put down.
Legally-speaking, K9 units are considered police officers. “Elon Musk withholds food, housing, and healthcare from over one thousand very handsome police officers” is a much better headline.
That’s very paradoxical. There are no good cops, but these officers are all good boys/girls. Therefore they can’t be police officers.
They can’t be police officers. Dogs aren’t bastards.
Police dogs very much are. It’s not their fault though unlike their human counterparts
Some of them are forced to be though. Very much reminds me of the dog that attacked the officer because it saw him beating a suspect.
Good boy.
Can we amend the saying to “the only good cop is either a dead cop or a dog”
The law is wrong. Dogs can’t be fascists.
Stop feeding Elon…
This man is literally trying to starve dogs to death so he can get a tax cut.
That is a level of evil that Saturday morning cartoons would reject as being over the top.
Straight up, most Saturday morning cartoon villains would be like “go home, heroes. I’ve got this one, and I don’t want you to see what I’m about to do to him.”
Magneto would be a great addition here.
It’s hard to even see Magneto as a villain anymore. Dude was basically right about everything.
Surely THIS will get price of eggs down.
This is so fucking funny, everyday we (the world) get to read news articles about the United States of Idiots.
Disclaimer: I don’t think that all Americans are idiots, many of you are okay.
Kristi Noem must have plans for these dogs that for some reason won’t need food, shelter, or vet care afterwards.
I propose bringing all the hungry canines over to meet Elon. It should be televized.
I’m reading this and thinking “this can’t be real”. How did we end up here? I really don’t get it.
He’s basically doing a scream test, you shut off something, and if nobody comes back to you asking why it’s down, you can assume nobody was using it, and you can just leave it shut down. If it was needed, you just spin it back up.
Obviously that’s not a huge issue with computers (although you’ll have a bad time if you do it across the board or with backup systems), but you can’t do that shit to people (or in this case animals).
He’s doing silicon valley stuff to real life, and you just have to be a complete idiot to think that’s a good idea.
Or a twisted monster
I have a idea. We do our own scream test.
Let’s turn his brain off permanently.
And we Don’t bother listening for anyone complaining about it.
It’s the perfect plan.
I prefer Luigi’s method personally. Shoot CEOs until someone cares.
Are you wearing a wire dude?
Are you a Trump supporter dude?
It started with Gerry Springer, really. We started celebrating the most awful qualities of humanity and normalized them.
MTV becoming a viral “reality” TV show hosting things like “The Real World” I think brought awful qualities to the mainstream, then social media gave everyone the opportunity to be THAT viral reality tv star. It may have started with Jerry, but MTV spread it to the masses. At the end of the day it was all driven by the pursuit of profits. All roads lead to capitalism, after all.
And he hates dogs?
This man is beyond redemption.
