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.
To consider this as an intentional “process” a person has to have zero empathy.
It’s also robbing Peter to pay Paul. You fire me for no real reason? Fine, now I’m drawing unemployment from the state and the company (which in this case, is the federal government), for not working. Now you’ve hired me back after 6-12 months, but you’ve also destroyed the infrastructure which allowed me to do my job, and you’ve jaded the shit out of me, so AT ABSOLUTE FUCKING BEST, you’ve hired me back to do 50% of what I was doing before, for the same pay, if not more. Plus you used tax money to pay me unemployment after you fired me.
It’s literally a business decision that would only be made in a world where ‘fuck it, it’s not MY money being wasted, let’s just see what happens’
And it was ALL OF OUR MONEY being pissed away, when the people making the decisions have more than enough money to perform their dipshit experiment on their own dime.
There is no way forward without about 20-40k public executions, and the seizure of trillions in assets. Dropping nukes on Israel, Saudi Arabia, UAE, and qatar should also be absolutely on the table.
If anything. Pivot hard to Iran and India, whole simultaneously doubling down on NATO and Ukraine, to the point where they don’t need Russia, use them to neutralize their neighbors while continuing to destroy Russia economically, then deploy US troops to Ukraine and Gaza. Then we do what America always does we install our own puppet governments and take anything of value, while ensuring the trade partnerships enacted are beneficial for us and the puppet governments. That’s how you f****** tip the scales
It’s a little unnerving for you to make a fair bit of sense, and then to see this little tidbit of insanity slip in there. Disregarding the call for institutional public execution, I would like to formally object to your plan for nuclear war with the Middle East, please.
Sooo many people just want to see somebody bleed. It’s like in that one My Chemical Romance song.
I mean, they also blatantly want to use the n-word so I wouldn’t put too much faith in their reasoning skills.

Maybe a weird federation thing, since the original comment was removed by a mod (and apparently they were banned from the community entirely).
I don’t know why, but somehow this feels worse than the nuclear war.
