      The total cost will not be evident for years to come, if ever. This is generational damage that we may never recover from fully.

      Billions of dollars and probably millions of lives across the world. It’s done incalculable damage to the country, our reputation, and our relationships.

    And even from those savings, one will have to subtract the costs for fixing or rebuilding essential services in the future.

    I wonder just what percentage of Americans bought into any claims from the fake organization called “DOGE”. On a Venn diagram, it’s probably a circle laid on top of a circle representing the base of supporters that still support Donvict.

      Well, the cost of saving 110 billion was around 1.2 trillion, most of which went to the pockets of billionaires, mega corporations and Trump. And to fix the issues it caused, the tax payer needs to pay another 500 billion. So everything makes sense, is fine, doesn’t need any more attention anymore. Same as the Epstein files. It’s just boring stuff really. It’s better to focus your anger at Binen, did you know he used autopen?

      This shit is so fucking dumb and corrupt, the movie Idiocracy feels like a utopian prediction of the future compared to this dystopian shit.

    As in Vietnam in the 1960’s & 70’s, “saving” the country by destroying it

    Wow, what an awesome achievement by the man who has been lying about self-driving cars for years, plus Mars, plus whatever the hell else. It’s pretty cool. Oh, he was working for another very open liar? That’s like scoring a double on a bet or something. I’m sure we didn’t just save money, we probably made money.
