    Cute.

    Let’s drop the pretense and call a spade a spade. DOGE is, was, and never will be about efficiency. Never. It’s about gutting “woke” programs, funneling that money into their own pockets, and punishing the rest of us for daring to believe we could “pull ourselves up by our bootstraps”.

    And by “woke”, I mean any program that benefits people in such a way as to educate them, make them healthier, or even allow them to live comfortably.

    We are literally at war, and right now we are losing horrifically to the billionaires who are desperately trying to put us in our place; as if we’re rabid dogs who need to be taught a lesson.

      Anything that isn’t designed to overwhelming benefit the rich is gonna go. That way if you want anything in this world, you have to be born rich or beg the rich for it.
