DOGE seems to be going out with a whimper.

Well everything they tried to do got shot down by some crooked democrat federal judge.

We are on a collision course with financial calamity. It appears to me the plan is to grow the economy to address the crushing debt or tackle the crisis when it comes rather than act prudently now. I am disappointed, but not ready to give up.

Michelle Obama moved out of the White House in 2017

Every single bit of it was a success. Just shining the light on the USAID cockroaches made it worthwhile.

Agree. But we need more of it. Lots more of it.

I view putting DOGE on the backburner as a sad development.

I agree with you. Congress won't address this until they have to. I am not one of the ones who thinks it will be economic collapse but there will be pain for some groups of people.

I can confirm that my testicles have resigned from government. They will now be kept in solitary confinement by my wife.

I'm not so sure he's leaving because of politics/judges. Younger people in all levels of IT never stay anywhere long. They enjoy getting in, setting a path, then getting out and doing it again. They never see anything all the way through. It is unfortunate, and a real problem in the industry.

What's that saying? No one is irreplaceable, not even him. As I know it, there are many more doing the same work.

Maybe he got a bigger NIL from the Demonics.

Correct. What he was doing isn't really all that impressive. Lots of knowledge there all around the country (let alone the world).

Dude is going to make BANK in the private sector.

I'm with AM. Rath is correct, but we need a helluva lot more of it.

Having wrestled with trying to correct all that ridiculous BS for years (before DOGE was DOGE), it's a bit personal, lol.

IMO, there are so many opportunities in the field, and they usually move for money or location, or both.

DOGE got the info Elon needed.

Would you rather China steal your info, Marc?

Mensa, change your stupid user name.

DOGE shutting down USAID and causing the Democratic Party to be on the edge of financial collapse is more than enough success for Big Balls to bounce off into the sunset.
