QOTD -- Goodbye, DOGE!

 

"It was here for a bad time, not a long time: The U.S. Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, has been officially disbanded.

"The shady department led by tech billionaire Elon Musk, which laid off scores of workers and gutted parts of the federal government, has faded away into oblivion, according to an exclusive from Reuters.  [snip]

"DOGE’s legacy is both very stupid and very sad: It decimated the federal workforce, including Social Security personnel at local offices, and made it easier for hackers to access your data. The agency tore apart USAID, which resulted in hundreds of thousands of lives lost globally. And all this for projected savings—numbers that grew smaller and less ambitious every time Musk mentioned them.

"While DOGE may fade away into a fever dream of Trump’s first 100 days, its effects—and the suffering it inflicted—will be felt for a long time."  --Rachel Kahn, The New Republic, in "Trump's DOGE Is Dead and We Won't Miss It."  The legacy of DOGE and its exploding car titan and DOGE "head" Musk will live forever in the annals of "The Very Stupid and Very Sad Amateur Hour Gubmint Slayers."  If it weren't for the lives lost, damage done, and careers destroyed, it might fade in memory.  But, in a just future world, Musk and his mindless vandals must be made to pay for what they did to bring that fiasco upon us all.
