I hope this doesn't mean USDS shuts down. I wanted to apply there assuming it would return back to its software development roots.

You want to work for the pedophile war crime government?

I beg for you to reinterpret my comment my guy. I don't really want to explain it to you, but to put it shortly: you got the wrong message from it

No problem. USDS wasn't always about 'efficiency' and used to be a way for digital services to be made. For example, if Medicare for All were to happen, who makes the web dashboard for every American to log into? Before doge was a thing, it would have been USDS. Hopefully Trump doesn't kill the office is what I'm saying, so whenever we get Medicare for All through it'll be made by some competent people and not claude or fable or whatever the next hot AI slop generator is.

You need good people to add friction to the plans of bad people.

They've been the pedophile war crime government for much longer than Trump lol.

There are several million people who work in the various agencies who do good work. Regular people. Don't mix up the regular 9-5 people who are doing their best with the elected officials

And they're working for pedophiles and war criminals. Just following orders isn't a very good excuse, lol.

They're like... Air traffic controllers, office clerks, safety inspectors, etc.

Yep, greasing the wheels of an empire responsible for millions of dead civilians.

You want there to be no internal friction? You want no-one who can later recall what’s been broken and where the parts have been scattered?
