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? 🤔
Someone please add the option to mark my gender as "the gender previously known as Twitter" since I cant mark it as X.
twit/twat
Honestly though, why does adding a single option to a form cost half a million dollars?
Potentially a bunch of follow up logic processes need to be modified as well. Gender is probably not one of the things that would have been dynamically processed in the past.
I don't know! Maybe we should open a department that monitors the efficiency of the governments expenditures 🤔
