Summary
Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy’s new “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE) began recruiting “high-IQ small-government revolutionaries” willing to work 80+ hours per week with no pay to help slash federal spending.
Appointed by President-elect Donald Trump, the panel is tasked with recommending spending cuts, regulatory rollbacks, and agency restructuring by July 4, 2026.
Musk and Ramaswamy advocate for drastic measures, including cutting grants to nonprofits and potential mass layoffs.
Interest rates aren’t a fixed number. And I suspect that they will increase by multiple factors relatively soon (like a year from now at the very least). Having credit card debt will soon be as burdensome as having a tuition debt. (Which is also extremely fucked but I digress.)
