    DOGE Has Become

    Two months ago DOGE did not even exist. It’s been corrupt, wasteful shit from the start.

      Sure it did - it was a meme, and that’s what it should have stayed.

    Has become?

    It barely started? It’s it anything official, actually? We all talk about it but like Elmo musk, is it actually even an official part of the government?

    It’s a bunch of coked up tech bros in their early twenties cluelessly fucking around, that’s literally it.

    What do you think it was supposed to be?

    When I hear ‘government bloat’, I think $500 hammers and fat cat contracts where big companies get huge contracts that mostly go in the pockets of a handful of rich owners while little goes to the actual project.

    I do NOT think it means randomly removing workers. Salaries cost little and are the support structure of the government. I might not want to buy a ‘bridge to nowhere’ but I certainly don’t want to take out 10% of the supports on each bridge.

    Everything DOGE has done seems destructive and none of it seems to reduce government waste. In fact, the opposite. p.s. I know there’s more to the hammer story, but – like transgendered instead of transgenic mice – the public mostly only heard the price tag.

      I think billions of dollars in o&g subsidies. That and the spying on citizens thing.

      Those will never see the chainsaw.

        Issue is, the average halfwit (Trump voter) likely thinks “billion” is a made up word.

        Hungarian tactic: steal so much it becomes “billions”, then your average halfwit who barely passed math will think people rightfully pointing out your ebezzlement controversies are just making up words to defame you.

      Should be:

      Astronaut looking at Earth: Are we the deep derp state?

      Astronaut w/ gun: Always have been.

        Nah, they aren’t good enough to be the new deep-state. Might qualify as the derp-state though…

    It’s been an amazing talking point with my conservative friends. They are also gobsmacked by how stupid it’s all been with Elon’s ‘efficiency’

    Elon is always what he claims to destroy.

    Everything from bot use on Twitter to the carbon fuel use.

    SpaceX and starlink will not see any cuts…
