"A wrecking ball and destroying people’s lives for no reason.”

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.

    The IRS, particularly, was spoken about as a clear target well before Election Day. The GOP make it clear they want to kill the revenue generating service because they’re actually terrible business people.

    This guy is an idiot if he didn’t think he could be impacted, too.

    I guess this is the only way to break the spell on these people, one at a time?

    Have them lose their job and be miserable thanks to Republican policies?

    Also: I have just no idea how you could be working for the government and voting Republican. The Republicans have been for saying, for years, that they want to destroy government.

      No, the spell is broken when they enter the next phase of the human lifecycle, this is just a brief moment of clarity in the psychosis riddled mind of your average conservative.

    FAFO.

    I have zero sympathy for this chucklefuck. I voted to save democracy. I just hope they hurt more than I do for their shit choice.
