Government brain drain will haunt US after DOGE abruptly terminated.
After Donald Trump curiously started referring to the Department of Government Efficiency exclusively in the past tense, an official finally confirmed Sunday that DOGE “doesn’t exist.”
Talking to Reuters, Office of Personnel Management (OPM) Director Scott Kupor confirmed that DOGE—a government agency notoriously created by Elon Musk to rapidly and dramatically slash government agencies—was terminated more than eight months early. This may have come as a surprise to whoever runs the DOGE account on X, which continued posting up until two days before the Reuters report was published.
As Kupor explained, a “centralized agency” was no longer necessary, since OPM had “taken over many of DOGE’s functions” after Musk left the agency last May. Around that time, DOGE staffers were embedded at various agencies, where they could ostensibly better coordinate with leadership on proposed cuts to staffing and funding.
Efficiency-obsessed weirdos don’t understand redundancies. All they see are inefficiencies, and think people can just make up for them in harder times by just “working harder”, which for these weirdos just become a new baseline for even more cuts.
For a man who is obsessed with space travel and claims we need to go live on Mars. He doesn’t understand how much redundancy is critical to survival in space.
Imagine a sci-fi spaceship… you are light-years away from civilization and any repairs. What if something goes wrong on your ship? We’ll? There had better be at least a half dozen back up systems to guarantee that you will survive instead of being fucked.
You cannot apply just-in-time supply chain logic to space travel. YOU WILL DIE!
No wonder SpaceX hasn’t been able to get out of low-earth orbit.
His only obsession is social acceptance and adoration, he doesn’t even want to go to Mars for whatever good it will do, he wants to go live somewhere where he’s the defacto “owner” of the whole goddamn planet. So people will be trapped working for him. And so that everyone else thinks he’s soooo cool for doing a space travel.
He isn’t going to Mars at least. I was worried for a while he might pull it off, but I’d be shocked if it happens before he overdoses or dies of pathological levels of cringe and ignorance.
You give him too much credit for seeing inefficiency. It was simply “gov is too expensive. We need massive layoffs”.
I’d be shocked if he knew how the blockchain works.
@ZILtoid1991 @MicroWave the Tories did that to the NHS here and then we had a pandemic.
