DOGE Request: kill the privacy popups on every website. Why? . - Billions in wages saved of lost seconds.- GDP growth from conversion rate increases. /cc @elonmusk.

Dont sleep on the @reliable_robot team and their CEO Robert Rose (@moof2k). They were just "shortlisted as one of four contenders for the 2023 Robert J. Collier Trophy" from @NatlAero. Prior winners are beyond impressive. Go team!.
