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.

    When productivity becomes the primary concern in a country, don’t be surprised your life and aspirations are destroyed for the greater design of a rich dude.

    They say that deregulation is the way to freedom but money is a way to coerce people into doing things they don’t want. Americans like this IRS worker just traded relative democracy for feudalism lol.

    The worse part is that I’m currently headed to the airport to go to Denver lol (I’m French), what am I doing going into this ehehehe ?
