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.

"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.
Its always hard to predict the tipping point. When the Berlin Wall came down, it surprised literally every intelligence agency in the world. Everyone knew the Berlin Wall would fall someday, but nobody had a clue when, how, or why. And NOBODY knew it was that close.
Then one day, it just happened. Someone tried to get through the wall, and a guard just simply refused to stop him, and the floodgates opened. Within minutes, people were smashing the wall with sledgehammers, and within hours the guards were gone, and the citizens were crawling all over it, knocking down sections.
All we can do is prepare and maintain readiness. One day it will tough off somewhere, and it will spread fast. Have a plan, and remain alert.

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.
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.
Be the change you want to see in the world.

It started with Gerry Springer, really. We started celebrating the most awful qualities of humanity and normalized them.
Didn’t he apologize for that and said had he known what was unleashed he would have shut it down?

I'd say that Springer was influenced by Oprah Winfrey, whose show about abuse, neglect, crime and vice was influenced by her harrowing childhood, a product of racism, and capitalist-induced poverty.

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.
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
That's very paradoxical. There are no good cops, but these officers are all good boys/girls. Therefore they can't be police officers.
The law is wrong. Dogs can't be fascists.

I propose bringing all the hungry canines over to meet Elon. It should be televized.

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.

This is opening the gate for the next 911 style attack so they can further reduce your civil liberties.
lol, tsa doesnt prevent shit
They prevented my toothpaste from visiting Boston.
Ok, first remove any kind of bomb detection from any flight he's taking. Need to show that he's serious about saving money

Kristi Noem must have plans for these dogs that for some reason won't need food, shelter, or vet care afterwards.
Maybe its collateral damage from getting rid of drug-sniffing dogs that might narc on him and his friends
bro, I despised you already but now you went so far beyond the limits, there is no turning back! Don't feed dogs? Anyone who trained a dog and works with that dog would rather starve than not taking care of the dog. But I get it, dogs are loving and loyal to the extreme. Both are concept you will never comprehend.
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.

Surely THIS will get price of eggs down.
Waiting for someone to hopefully explain how the title is misleading and the dogs are ok plz
Obviously the dogs' handlers will continue to care for their dogs. It's not okay that they might be spending their own money to do so.
Y'all Muricans need to stop this madness. Sincerely, rest of the world.
Perhaps we take those dogs. When the unruly mobs kick in the mansions of the ultra rich, we let the dogs feed once more.
