It is truly impossible to undersell the damage done by DOGE. Every medical record, every tax record, every criminal record most likely as well as mountains of other data on every single American citizen and any foreigner who ever came here is all completely exposed and open wide for the highest bidder. That cannot be put back in the bottle.
Big data is a fascist wet dream and we built it for them. What fucking rubes we are.
