I’ve made a mistake. Dandy is in her donut and I reached in to pet her.
She has claimed the hand. So now I’m stuck here until she decides she no longer wants it.

It's very easy, I think, to just regard "capitalism" as some sort of inhuman monster ruling over mankind, but that just lets people off the hook, imo.
It does come down to individual decisions, that's why there are so many layers of obfuscation when these awful decisions are made!

This causes an insane amount of bad effects, downstream.
They don't care about accomplishing any goal besides short-term profit. They have no understanding of the business operations but want to be involved deeply and dictate decisions because it demonstrates "leadership".

This is my grand unified theory of Why Everything Sucks These Days, bascially
Control of business decisions in general has been ceded to "business people" who have zero experience in whatever specific field the business their running is involved in.

"When Disney trusts creative people and gives them support, resources, and space to run, amazing things result. When Disney engages in executive meddling and changes directors or formats partway through a project, disaster. They did a lot of the first in the 2010s then switched." Defensible argument

All this to say that Elon is a white supremacist mass murderer and DOGE was not a failure. It functioned as designed. I wish people would cover this accurately. It's not difficult.

DOGE was created for data theft and infrastructure dismantling and it wildly succeeded on both counts within the first few weeks of its existence. It will take a generation to rebuild what it destroyed and the breach of data is unprecedented.
Bye bye, “DOGE”.
It no longer exists as a “centralized entity”, according to the Office of Personnel Management.

It remains insane to me that DOGE was treated at the time as an impressive shock and awe accomplishment - “you can’t deny he’s getting stuff done!” - and then instantly memory holed by the press once if became clear it was a total failure by every possible standard including Musk’s own
Difficult to overstate how profound a failure DOGE was. Spending in FY2025 was not only than in FY2024 – but higher than it was projected to be when Trump first took office.*
The little bit of spending DOGE cut has already killed hundreds of thousands and will eventually lead to millions of deaths.
