The stupid “doge” thing was never about balancing the budget anyway. That’s all bullshit red meat for the dumbasses that voted for donvict.
I think we should organize and go demand everyone working for DOGE… stop. And not demand like with funny signs and chants, but like with 2nd amendment arms.
Oh so sad. Elect a clown expect a circus.
Install an unelected billionaire, expect theft.
I think DOGE should send out stimulas checks because of all the money that is going to be saved.
This would be more than reasonable if they were actually doing what they said.
In real life, they’re costing the US an insane amount of money, and working class taxpayers will carry the burden of paying for it as usual.
It could easily set a new record for largest transfer of wealth from the workers to the rich in human history.

How exactly does that work? Seriously don’t think you’re right about that.
Let’s qualify this more accurately. It’s not lost. It’s “lost.”
Let’s all keep an eye out for the shiny new upgrades to putin’s war crimes in Ukraine.
It’s not lost. The people who wanted to keep it for themselves got to keep it. They know exactly where it is.
That’s my point.
putin is probably straight up annexing what he already got of ukraine.
I guess we will lives like Russian and drink cheap American alcohol to forget it all happened.
Wait till you see how much we loose from killing the Department of Education. Education is like the easiest ROI
It’s not the quickest though. ROI timeline is 18 years minimum for tax from non-degree level jobs, 22/23 years for degree level, and 26 to 30 years for post doctoral.
It’s sad. The quarterly pressure to generate value is one of the worst economic forces of capitalism which drives enshitification, job-instability from the “fire bottom performing 10%” so that you can post more “profits” from cost cutting, and the general short-term thinking that pervades all aspects of the culture.
It’s the reason “nobody” builds things to last or metaphorically plants something now for the future: it’s not profitable quick enough.
Totally agree. Was talking to my brother who worked for the US Core of Engineers. He said they have a decades long outlook for their projects. So if they want to remove a dam or something, studies are done to make sure that is the smartest move not just for the next few years, but the next several decades.
So refreshing vs the typical “new CEO wants to fire x% of the workforce to generate 1% more profit this year (ignore the fact that customers will leave when it’s that much shittier here… That’s next year’s (and next Ceo’s) problem)”.
(corps)
maybe he should be hanged?
Just like in corporate america, the savings hit this quarter so bonuses all around. Then the CEO jumps ship and it’s someone else’s problem next quarter.

Anyone checked behind the couch cushions?
while vance is vp? ew, no
Dare I ask what you mean by that?
Vance the couch fucker.
There was a claim that, in the first draft of his book, Vance recounted a teenage sexual encounter with a couch. In great detail.
This claim came with an image of the text, which is easily found if you want that sort of thing.
The truthfulness of the claim has been questioned, but Vance just seems like the kind of guy who would fuck a couch.

But not the truthiness of the claim, which I think is the more important part.
He looks like a right pervert so I wouldn’t be surprised
you might find things other than loose change behind the cushions when there’s a couchfucker on the loose.
you write a book that gets turned into a movie, help draft the most optimistic plan for turning a reasonable functional democracy into a dictatorship, rock eyeliner at least as well as any 80’s glam-rock start, but you fuck one* couch, and that’s all you’re remembered for.
- well, you know, the ones in the furniture store didn’t count, and the futon was technically a futon, and I was genuinely concerned that I’d be maimed by the recliner, and when I was drunk didn’t count, and beanbag chairs are barely even a chair…
You mean “saved billionaires trillions” /s
So much winning. Tired of winning yet?
five hundred billion dollars missing? this is 100% Elon Musk’s fault he is a thief of an epic level. freeze all his accounts and companies until that money is returned! Elon Musks goal and Trumps goal is to get as much money into their pockets and associates pockets as fast and as much as possible. cant change my mind on this one.
Not “lost” as in “misplaced”, but “lost” as in “missed the opportunity to bring it in, in the future”.
You’re trying to pressure the President to freeze the accounts of Donald Trump and Elon Musk? Have you checked on who the President currently is? I’ve got some bad news for you…
You gotta give it to Elmo, few people would have been able to pull off that feat. I mean, losing that much money takes hard work and dedication, and I’m not even kidding hete. It actually takes a certain skill set (extreme incompetency combined with an unending unearned confidence) to be able to lose that much money that quickly. I was impressed with the money he lost from Twitter, but that’s peanuts now, that’s a rounding error in comparison to what he’s losing the US now.
Hey now, let’s not demean little Donny two-scoops, who has an almost equally well honed ability to lose money where it should be impossible.
That money isn’t lost, I think we all know who’s going to divvy it up when all is said and done.
Imagine being so fucking dumb you use IRS data to go after immigrants who are paying taxes, thus ensuring no immigrant ever pays taxes again.
They probably just funneled it directly to Russia, and we’ll continue to do so until disassemble them and send them back to the factory
