Well, it was a stupid thing to try because it immediately sends the message that you don’t care about a) first responders b) 9/11
The only other budget cut I can think of right now that would create less favorable publicity is, if they cut all the funding to the VA, or more specifically to the VBA(which is in charge of distributing funds to people with disabilities due to being deployed or enrolled in military service )

Yeah, I’m not included in this article is the idea that the VA is actually split up into three segments. One of them is the veterans benefits association. The other one is the veterans health administration and then the third one is the national cemetery organization that plans out who gets to be buried in a national cemetery such as Arlington national Park.
I don’t think there’s been enough transparency on who’s actually getting fired here …
And as a veteran, I think it’s a little bit disingenuous to say that you’re gonna honor our country and our veterans and then/funding and employment at an organization that already needs the help
Everything in healthcare is more expensive now, and the amount of increase in funds has not been proportional to that increase for many decades. Just my two cents
Cruelty.
Or Russia.
Same thing.

It will “save money” and totally won’t impact their ability to distribute resources.

Don’t forget stupidity.
Hanlon’s Razor fails us here.
This shot is not sufficiently explained by stupidity.
Thinking Hanlon’s Razor more so on this one. They’re just blindly slashing shit.
I now have to wonder if the 9/11 health program had an open investigation into one of Musk’s companies.
Even a 4th grade girl in a popularity contest could have helped advise them on this one…
I’m hoping the whole administration is a situation of Hanlon’s Razor, but that might also just be me huffing copium.
