Summary
IRS worker Robert McCabe, a Trump voter, expressed shock after being among 7,000 laid off by DOGE, an initiative under the Trump administration led by Elon Musk.
McCabe stated DOGE is acting like a “wrecking ball and destroying people’s lives for no reason.”
The layoffs, targeting probationary employees with less than a year of service, affect hundreds at the IRS and are part of a broader effort to shrink the federal workforce.
The cuts raise concerns about impacts on tax collection during a critical season.
Same propaganda works everywhere.
The middle class is deteriorating, pay * isn’t increasing in sync with inflation, less kids, less money in taxes.
The rich aren’t rich in a vacuum, as the * Rich get richer the rest get poorer. It’s pretty easy to target them to hate down one social level.
As far as NHS, well if you’re not overly sick you’re paying too much and most people aren’t overly sick. People who are struggling really get behind the “fuck you I got mine” train when instead they could be on the help me too train.
