Interesting, I wish there was something like DOGE in my country as well. So much government spending that is ridiculous, unnecessary and wasteful.
As an example of that, we (Sweden) have an unemployment agency (as one of many, many examples), that employs over 15k individuals but only is involved in less than 2% of all the job offers [1]. You could easily cut 98% of the work force and it would literally be no difference in the outcome. Just cut the shit, have a few programmers around to have a digital job board and be done with it.

- lores 2y agoUnfortunately, the chances that DOGE's actions are about cutting unnecessary staff are vanishingly remote. They did not even have the wherewithal to check that the contracts they cancelled were for the amounts their hot take made them think, or double-check the list before publishing it, or not fire departments they had to immediately re-hire. They're much more consistent with DOGE cutting anything they don't understand, or is standing in the way of Musk and other billionaires' total power grab.
- staticelf 2y agoWell that is your opinion and as a tax payer that pays like 60% tax I strongly disagree with your opinion and applaud DOGE and would vote to bring a similar system to my country.
- taylodl 2y agoYou're welcome to come to ours, since you're so enamored with this corruption. Mark my words, this is all about corruption and nothing about savings.
- jeffbee 2y agoI'm sure your country has domestic Nazis you can use for this. You don't need the one we borrowed from South Africa.
- drawkward 2y agoShhh! Let them have Musk!
