Comment on DOGE Quietly Deletes the 5 Biggest Spending Cuts It Celebrated Last Week

frunch@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

These are some grade-A dolts running things over at the Department. It’s worth reading each instance where they lied, miscounted, misinterpreted, or all of the above. One of my faves:

A $232 million cut at the Social Security Administration. Here, Mr. Musk’s organization appeared to have mistakenly believed that the agency had canceled a huge information technology contract with the defense contracting giant Leidos. Instead, as reported by The Intercept, it had canceled only a tiny piece of it: a $560,000 project to let users mark their gender as “X.” The DOGE site now shows that small cut instead.

He/him she/her they/them x/x? 🤔
