What's "larping" about this?

Translating from neoliberalese, "government efficiency" means tearing apart every utility and government function that a profit can be made out of and sharing between your favorite oligarchs. Think the US healthcare system, but for everything.

Jesus Christ, I opened this link thinking it was an Onion article. What an absolute joke.

Yup. I made a joke to my wife before the election about taking out a loan and buying a shit ton of musk stock/doge coin and truth social stock then selling it off after the election. Their stocks are going to be too volatile for my liking now, but there was an opportunity for a payday. We ultimately didn't do it because it seemed wrong to bet against our country, but the extra money would be nice.

the project 2025 stuff has felt far away until now but calling it the department of government efficiency is actually terrifying, it sounds like something you'd hear under nazi germany

edit: I looked into it more and it seems to just be about the government spending/budget but it's annoyingly unspecific, makes me wonder what they're gonna cut first

Almost anyone who has argued for more efficiency in recent years just meant deregulation.

It always at least attempts to be innocent on the surface such that they and their supporters can point to the words whenever someone else shines a light on the shitty actions. I feel like one of them writing that but we have decades and decades of evidence showing just how bad shit like that is gunna get under conservatives soooo…

72 million people despised the idea of this. I guess they don't matter to you

I just woke up to my Doge making $1000 overnight. Should I sell?

Edit: Fuck it, I don't need the money right now. I'm gonna hold it for the tiny chance that it goes to the moon.

I sold, I have some regrets. I've been holding since 2014.

I can't wait to see how this becomes the project Manhattan of our time.

Sounds like they’re dividing and selling our govt to oligarchs a la Russia.

By turning the US government and economy into a nuke, and collapsing the whole country... probably.
