    Can we all not agree that DOGE has been the single worst thing to happen to America in the last century?

    So why TF would we want that here?

      It’s because DOGE is basically cutting government everything, something the ultra-wealthy love, because it makes it easy to use money and power however they want because of the lack of government power to do anything about it. Doesn’t matter if what they do is blatantly illegal if there is no department to even investigate such illegal activities. It’s better than tailoring laws to suit them since they don’t have to plan years ahead and instead just do so.

      Imagine a mafia successfully eliminating the entire local police force. They could murder people out in the open, but without any cops to do the arrest, they effectively got away with it even if hundreds of people recorded the crime happening and posted it online. Nobody to do an investigation, nobody to do an arrest, and nobody to take them to court. DOGE is doing the same thing, but on a national level for the richest and most powerful.

      It’s a fucking mind virus.

      And it’s coming from Facebook and X. From Amazon and Google.

      It’s a death for money cult.
