Borges alleges that a little-known federal tech team called the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, copied the government’s master Social Security database into a cloud system that lacked normal oversight.

This sounds like DOGE is going to cost the USA a shitton of money fixing their bullshit.

This also sounds like one particular person, with a fuck ton of cash, should be held responsible and pay for damages.

LOL. Who am I kidding. Musk will get an invented award when SSI collapses due to fraud. Then they'll "have a concept of a plan" to fix it.... in two weeks.... forever.

If you want a picture of the future, many people are imagining concepts of big beautiful cankles in shoe lifts stamping on a non-orange (human) face in two weeks (forever)
