This is so embarassing. It can't be the case that these idiots are actually in control of the united states.
It all seems to be rushed and it's all an attack on political opposition. Doing it well isn't important. Like a monkey throwing shit at another monkey, they don't care that they have some shit on their hands, they threw shit at another monkey and that's what counts. Unfortunately the shit throwing monkeys are the president of the USA and the wealthiest person in the world.
To be fair, healthcare.gov had a rocky rollout too. No gaping security holes AFAIK though, so this is a new low.
The agency they turned into DOGE was responsible for fixing healthcare.gov and preventing future bad roll outs. But they fired the actual talent to replace them with Musk's interns.
Do you have a source on that? Because that's just awesome.
What is "Things people have been saying for 10 years?" Alex?
10 years? More like 200 years!
You can thank your compatriots for this horror show. Huh. There’s a double entendre there if you’re familiar with the Russian language, or if you’ve read A Clockwork Orange.
As a Russian speaker, I don't understand this. Could you elaborate?
“Horrorshow” is the Nadsat word that Alex used in A Clockwork Orange to mean “good”. It’s a bastardized transliteration of хорошо.
Ah. OK. Not immediately recognizable, but clear now.
Does "ужасшоу" sound kind of like "asshole"?
Nah they have people helping them. At any second you could stop and they would have no power. But you continually support their project
Hah?
If you stop allowing them to do it they can't, because they're OLD PEOPLE with severely impeded cognitive ability
