Here's an article talking with people discussing why what's going on with Herr Musk's IT goon squad is bad. It would be bad enough in a regular corporate environment, but I can say with some level of authority that there's no way these kids have any significant level of understanding of the code they're fucking with.

Now if there happen to be any Russian or Chinese affiliated agents among Musk's Scoobie Gang...
But I'm sure neither Putin nor Xi would have foreseen the US descending into this sort of chaos, so probably haven't gotten anyone in place...The must be kicking themselves for that, though.

There's a pretty solid chance these motherfuckers might fuck things up beyond repair. Amazing. Elon musk the stable genius unleashing a bunch of racist 20-year-olds with no discipline on the very fundamental code that keeps this country running. And entire fucking country.

Apparently Trump's team did at least nix a non-citizen from being on the goon squad.

"But he may have taken a step too far when he asked to hire Baris Akis, a Turkish-born venture capitalist with a green card who had become a close ally."

DOGE is rehiring the little Nazi shitweasel at the behest of Vance, Trump and the X user base.

Good - it doesn't matter who is on that team as it is easy to find someone equally shitty, more competent, but without the publicly known Nazi past.

They are going to do Nazi shit regardless so I'd rather them have to defend doing it with people the public knows are Nazis.

Nazi working for the head Nazi just randomly fired your Trump voting husband from his job with the government sounds like something the press could be interested in covering.

My hope is the fuck up the student loan databases beyond repair and can’t determine who owes what anymore. I think that’s the only way loan forgiveness with ever happen.

To be clear the name is Tariff/Much Higher Federal Deficits/Much Smaller Workforce Man.

He's basically inflation Voltron.

What you think people are not going to be pleased with turbo austerity, cuts to social programs, getting 10M workers out of the economy, and high prices on imports because Canada won't agree to be ours?

If anything, Trump has actually claimed that he wants to "restore" the debt that has been forgiven.

Add it to the Sovereign Wealth Fund, I guess.

Not one peep in defense about a single person at USAID. Not one.

But GOD FORBID we fire the 25 year old racist at DOGE! “THAT WILL NOT STAND WITH ME” says VP Vance.

Also, shame on that girl who exposed him—it’s CRIMINAL because she once worked at USAID.

This, of course, ignores the fact that nobody gets to know whether or not he's a terrible member of the team because they're working entirely in secret.

So you concede that we do have the money to do this (free college for all).

Why not just do it anyway? A smarter populace can contribute more to the economy too.

Trump and his "I love the uneducated" way of getting what he wants by exploiting those folks is anathema to having a smarter populace. Trump and his oligarchs want to reserve education for their own kids to carry on the rule of the rich over the rule of law that we're all supposed to live by.

They want a dumbed down population that's so much easier to keep in their place and not present a threat to the aristocrat class. The very wealthy of the nation have already been at this game of class war via suppressing the ability of the middle class to acquire the power of self-determination via making it very difficult for the peasant class to afford to get a degree in medicine, law, the sciences, politics etc.

It's one reason why the laws of the land make it very easy for the wealthy to have their children avoid the draft if there's ever the need to go there again. They make the rules of the game (our laws) to fit their own wants and needs.

I’m no economist but I assume all of this is done in the name of greater national prosperity.
