Completely competent geniuses.
So stable too
So, I’ve seen this “centibillionaire” title a few times, but I believe it should be hecto(a?)billionaire if I have my metric prefixes correct.
E.g. a centimeter is a hundredth of a meter, so a hundredth of a billion is 10mil.

Or maybe I’m out of the loop on the joke.
I totally would agree, except we’re using “billion [dollar]” and not “gigadollar”, so I think we’re already not using a metric term in the first place. It sounds to me like “billion” comes from Latin, and “cent-” as a Latin prefix would mean 100x, so my layman’s understanding is still satisfied with “centbillionaire”. Totally interested if I’m missing something, though.
Centi is divided by 100. Hecto is multiplied by 100.
Century, centennial, centipede, etc.
Yes, that’s how the Metric prefixes work, that’s already established. This is about other contexts where it can go either way.
But 1 percent is 1 per 100.

DOGE is not yet an official federal agency authorized by Congress.
not yet? could we fucking not?
What a dumb story, there’s nothing of interest on the calendar.
In January, Sennott attended a 15-minute meeting on DOGE recruiting. Less than two weeks later, he attended a meeting instructing “special government employees” (Musk’s official designation) about the federal ethics rules that applied to them.
That’s it.
Only commenting on the picture: this guy always looks like he wants to give me candy from his van.
