    A brilliant one.

    DOGE is out looking for profitability, which is as much a goal of federal agencies, as hoarding peanut butter is for the Legal or Financial departments, which is to say not at all.

    A government’s purpose is never to generate profit. It’s to make use of the common wealth to improve the lives of its citizens. In a country with so much wealth, and yet the people face so much strife, the government has already failed.

    DOGE is just accelerating the downward spiral.

      I bet those DOGE bros could stare at that statement for an hour and it still wouldn’t make sense to them.

      Doge is not looking for profitability so much as just axing any stuff they don’t like or let Elon control.
