It's either an actual 'coding error' because DOGE doesn't actually understand WTF they're doing or it's what you're suggesting. So it's Incompetence or Malice.

It's either an actual 'coding error' because DOGE doesn't actually understand WTF they're doing or it's what you're suggesting.
So it's Incompetence or Malice. Pick your poison.

When they wake up in the morning, we want them to not want to go to work, because they are increasingly viewed as the villains.” https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/11/books/review/administrative-state-trump-bannon.html https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/11/books/review/administrati...

- burgerrito 2y agoI sometimes wonder those people are evil or just incompetent, but it feels like those two are indistinguishable.
- salawat 2y agoSerial incompetence without regard for due caution is indistinguishable from malice. Don't cut yourself with that rust old Hanlon's razor.
