Department Of Government Efficiency (DOGE)

[Nemesis]

Dogging!!!

very happy to see British extra curricular activities becoming popular in the US

Oh the irony. The Department of Government Efficiency - created so efficiently that it needs not just one but two people to head it up. Is this really going to be what the next 4 years are like? Welcome back to Trump chaos I guess

Soooo, let’s start with Elon Musk’s plan.

There are 428 Federal agencies. He wants to get rid of 329 of them.
Let’s just say he consiolidates them and the only thing he accomplishes (with that) is to fire
329 (non-union) agency heads, and
329 (non-union) vice agency heads, and
329 (non0union) agency diversity officers.

That is 987 agency bigwigs at $100,000/year each. ($98.7 million).
Well that’s not much.

To make it more salable (or put it into perspective) that is enough to offer each State University (almost) $2 million a year for scholarships, or $2 million a year for new computer labs or even a series of endowed professorships.
.

.
But I still think simply requiring fedeal employees to return to office will result in 100s of thousands if not millions of voluntary quits.

Also creating a new department that can cut through other departments is the best troll job.

Nah.

No one’s gonna try and sabotage it.

There must be a purpose for all those people that isn’t about cops losing jobs,

I didn’t say the “LIBs” supported it.

I said no one is gonna try to sabotage it.

Let me rephrase…no one SHOULD try to sabotage it.

I read that DOGE is to work themselves out of a job by summer of 2026.

I’m fond of Vivek’s notion of reduction in force layoffs for everyone with an odd numbered SSN.
The positive effects on Northern Virginia cannot be understated.

Let’s hope this works out better than DOGECOIN actually did.

Yep, an excellent role model on governance.
