Summary

IRS worker Robert McCabe, a Trump voter, expressed shock after being among 7,000 laid off by DOGE, an initiative under the Trump administration led by Elon Musk.

McCabe stated DOGE is acting like a “wrecking ball and destroying people’s lives for no reason.”

The layoffs, targeting probationary employees with less than a year of service, affect hundreds at the IRS and are part of a broader effort to shrink the federal workforce.

The cuts raise concerns about impacts on tax collection during a critical season.

      Exactly. In what universe is a wrecking ball used to build something?

      Same with chainsaws - some of the dipshits are still employing this myth that fElon and his Incel Clown Posse were going to be applying sound principles to improving efficiency in some kind of surgical fashion (instead of the smash-n-grab that it really is).

      Meanwhile, fElon is literally swinging around a chainsaw for his slack-jawed yokel admirers. Even on metaphors, this is a huge failure. What kind of surgery is done with a FUCKING CHAINSAW?

      Even the most dogmatic redcap adherents cannot make that make sense to each other.
