Anyone serious about government efficiency and saving money would double or triple IRS employees as the *marginal* employee brings in 10x what they are paid.

Elon and Vivek have completely discredited themselves and ended any goodwill they had with Americans after the H1B drama over Christmas. It is now clear doge is just a way to help Elon and Silicon Valley make more money with their companies that provide no value to society.

Also, federal and state jobs are one of the last bastions that provide quality work life balance in America. If Elon cares about the fertility crisis so much why is he forcing Archaic and to is work/striver culture

Looking at the workers is looking at the wrong side of the issue. One example: immigration. Some real effort snd political will could turn it into a better, faster, more useful system. But the political courage lacks - for over 30 years already. Consequently additional rules and exceptions are tacked on year after year, making the system more complicated, needing more employee-spent hours to get results.

Blaming the workers who have to navigate cumbersome systems is ridiculous. That tells you the level DOGE is operating at. The two manboys will create unneeded messy situations. Maybe they will be saved from making problems worse and creating new ones by Katie Miller.

We don’t have 10 years.

One cannot reform schizophrenia, or dull selfish bureaucratic evil.

The Evil of Banality cannot reform and doesn’t deserve yet another chance.

Out. All of it.
