Ooopsie! This is why it’s important to have somebody else check your work when single-handedly coming up with a new policy that affects the global economy. From the same thinktank that helped Trump come up with the infamous “tariff formula”. www.axios.com/2025/04/06/t...
Trump tariffs based on massive error, conservative think tank says

Friendly reminder that MAGA have been using Hungary as a role model for how to dismantle a democracy from within. CPAC is headed to Hungary for the 4th year in a row this year, but here's an article regarding their first visit in 2022. www.npr.org/2022/05/18/1...

In this town it was tradition: usurp Congress, force thousands of federal workers to quit, and let 21-year-old incels put the U.S. dollar on the blockchain. Now the woke mob wants to take all that away.

There are a lot of things to dunk on with this post. But, if you think using an LLM is the way to deal with a json file (json is a ubiquitous, highly structured format for data storage), you are a bad, inexperienced coder. And, you definitely shouldn't be rewriting the US Treasury codebase.

Something you may underestimate in IT operations is how fast you can actually do things with a few top engineers and no rules. You can in fact quickly integrate data stores into hacked-together applications and start mining for stuff, not use the ERP interface. This is what DOGE is architected for.
