More than 80 hours per week??? I gotta be honest though. Whoever sends a job application to the fucking ‘DOGE’ deserves to wither away working 120 hours per week sucking sucking Elon’s toes
We need more austerity! It’s always the answer!
Creates a whole new department in the government for austerity when Congress can just unilaterally cut everything besides military and corporate subsidies
Now now, you’d have to be more clever with it. Or not even propose austerity per-se. Talk about cutting bloat and streamlining processes, privatizing things and creating a shit-ton of public-private partnerships, maybe throw in a bit of AI hype or talk about “national defense” and industrial interests while winking and nudging towards whatever grift is the flavor of the season.
Maybe we should get a job at “@Doge,” we’re overqualified lol
Lmao Elon works literally 0 hours per week, he spends all day tweeting about the jewish question, sexually harassing interns, making an absolute fool of himself at Trump rallies and playing Elden Ring like your senile grandma would. If you sign up for this shit, you deserve everything these clowns make you do.
How can you spread such horrible lies about the savior of humanity?
Elon is mostly playing Diablo 4 like my senile grandma would, these days
Musk seemingly shared the three-minute clip to show off his gaming skills — but ended up giving viewers a hair-raising account of what sounds like a near-catastrophe at his space company.
“We had a misconfigured stem gas support that didn’t have quite the right ramp-up time for bringing up stem pressure, and we were one second away from that tripping and telling the rocket to abort and try to crash into the ground next to the tower,” the engineer told Musk.
“Wow,” Musk says, while pulverizing evil skeletons onscreen. “Yikes.”
That’s the most reddit interaction I’ve ever read lol.
The nerd main character and his stoner roommate in a romcom from 2006
Department of Government Efficiency…
Who is the head?
Oh— we have two heads. Vivek Ramaswamy and Elon Musk…
The Department of Government “Efficiency” has… two heads???
Their egos are too big for either of them to take second fiddle lol.
It’s not even a department, it’s just an outside consultant.
I see their DOGE and I propose to the American people DONG (Dental, Ocular, Neurological, General) formerly known as Medicare. It’s time that we expand DONG!
If everything has to be le funny maymay, let’s use a meme I like.
Keep the government off my DONG!
Dental
if you’re working 80+ hours a week you’re not really working efficiently
“Get all your work done in 40 hours? Great! Now we can sneak in an extra week of work within this week and not have to hire anyone else! Efficiency!”
They’re going to cut the defense budget, right?
The department with the most waste by far?
If this is anything like the “ousting waste” stunts the Republicans were pulling during the Tea Party era, they’ll be focusing on shit like “here’s a $500,000 grant to study a species of microscopic shrimp that only lives in the Pacific Northwest! How wasted!”
I mean, how well are they paying? If it’s a govt job(???) or for a thinktank the money should be expected to be good right(?)
Who wants to speedrun destroying the US empire? /jk
Reminds me of the time when I helped my friend edit and add to their MBA paper. Literally was on AI, “helped” them add in things like references to “industry 4.0,” “public-private parnerships” etc lol… they aced it fwiw
pls i want to do austerity and also not make moneyI’m sure “working” 80+ hours a week is real hard when your job is being an apartheid failson
I put in 90 hours this week at my smoke-weed-and-post job.
Which is why you’re the greatest at it.
:honest-work:
aww, ty
has anyone figured out how exactly they are going to enforce their cuts and firings? just let the big guy rubber stamp executive orders and hope it goes through?
Executive orders, majority in both houses of Congress, completely compromised court, and willingness to ignore nonbinding norms. Ya know, wielding power.
If you do corporate culture building in government then you’re going to infect the entirety of government thinking with corporate culture.
Think about it. Think about what Twitter is now, who works there and how the people still working there have basically signed up to that culture and assimilated to it.
Imagine what having an entire government of that mindset will do. It will affect how the government operates and how it legislates from top to bottom.
Every single employee, every single office, everywhere. All loyal little drones that want to carry out whatever orders they’re given under whatever conditions they’re given.
Every single employee behaving like the super bootlicker from andor
Unrelated but I thought that actor was really good as Francis in Poldark. Rare American actor who can trick British people into thinking he’s one of them.
He is good yes. I really fucking hate him as this weasel in Andor which is basically perfect for the character lmao
I believe Kyle Soller has spent a majority of his life in the UK, so he developed an ear for their accents.
damn, I didn’t even recognize him!
Huh, and the social conditions of late capitalism are basically a Cyril factory
I get your point but this guy wasn’t much of a bootlicker. He disobeyed his superiors multiple times to pursue his idea of justice.
what if hypothetically in a dream we spammed their account with fake CVs as a prank in GTA V?
I still can’t believe that any of this is real. It’s like I’m in the twilight zone or something. I hope I’m gonna awaken soon from any coma I may currently be in.
you’re dreaming and our team is incepting the idea that you should have a Big Mac
We still have the space force lol
It would be so easy to impersonate DOGE to get chuds to self dox by submitting resumes…
Get a flame war going between DOGE dot gov and DOGE dot biz dot info on the grounds that the .gov domain is inefficient and wasteful, while the .biz.info domain is budget-conscious and therefore the legitimate one
I’ve got a fancy sounding terminal degree, I’m tempted to apply and pretend to be super into it and then spam them with ‘cancel the military’ and ‘do a national healthcare service’ over and over until they fire me.
Get the job then defund the CIA and COINTELPRO, as a bit
There’s a lot of other efficiencies that wouldn’t be bad, like overturning the Jones Act so non-US ships can transport goods from the US to Hawaii and other islands.
Note their focus on the top 1%, even here.
