Hmm… source?

This guy the avarage Lemmy user?

Lemmy is a collective of uninformed Maoists. Probably young and never had any responsibility. Wait till they have a family and need to pay taxes. That exorcises the Marxist out of any sensible creature.

Charity should be a private endeavor, not a collective one, and it shouldn’t be a partisan decision. I want to decide for myself what I consider a good cause.

Democrats oppose the audit on the grounds that DOGE, a department within the federal government, should not have access to taxpayers’ sensitive data.

They just don’t want the audit.

You don’t like foreigners?

Have you seen the list of saving on the DOGE site? It is already a very long list. Pretty sure there will be something on there that is worth keeping. Cutting something doesn’t mean it can’t be changed. Musk also re-hired some of the Twitter employees after cutting too deep.

Mistakes will be made and there is a lot of transparency about his approach. In Europe they are doing the opposite. You should be glad - you don’t live here. It is a bureaucratic nightmare.

What is on this list I wouldn’t want my taxpayers money spent on. 🤷‍♂️

So better to just keep wasting money? You know that is basically accepting corruption right? You know for sure that the average American will not profit from that.

Another bureaucrat bites the dust. This is the way.

Too early to tell. From my experience with data integrity issues first make the numbers manageable by linking data to another database (cross checking). If possible do a mass update then and what remains a red flag handle manually. This is a simplified version though, can be much more complicated. If some data is not in a database they can connect to or even worse is on paper, that can make it very labor intensive.

I have regularly coordinated and fixed data integrity issues myself. Worked for a large company that was often audited.

Of course - they need to fix this. You need to know exactly what your tax money is used for. This shouldn’t be a right/left conversation. Data integrity should be in order. If not fix it - or have at least an assessment and a long term plan.

All the left does is using ad hominem arguments. If you ever want to get rid of conservatives - this is not the way.

This made me chuckle.

No - not irl, and I don’t have other opinions there. Even have fun discussions with a very left-wing buddy of mine. And online it only happens here.

Correct - it is a leap of faith. Nobody can predict the future. I haven’t seen anything from the DOGE team that makes me worry though. It is going exactly as I was hoping for with the urgency that is needed. It is going well and according to Milei’s playbook.

yep - I am not even a conservative but a libertarian. That’s why I am a huge DOGE fanboy. This train just left the station, I hope it will be glorious and we will be able to enjoy a version of DOGE in the EU too.

Nope - common sense and just embrace differences.

DEI and basically most social studies are a waste of time. DEI was getting ridiculous - I think they’ve pushed it too far.

Even at the left some were thinking WTF…

Awesome! 😁

To the moon!

Oh well, there is the fascist comment again. Try better.
