Too late. You think DOGE is going to go back in and uninstall whatever hooks they put into the system? Nobody would even be able to verify that.

Replace DOGE with any subcontractor or executive pen authorization in the last 20 years. What makes you think what you are afraid of happening right now has not already happened? Too late may have left the room a long time ago and we are just wasting our breath fearing the corpse of the boogie man

  • contractors are given limited access within a clearly defined scope and procedures in place to ensure that they don't do anything they shouldn't. This is _not_ what is happening here, where DOGE has unfettered access, with those who offer resistance being fired or resigning.

  • Well, contractors are typically not hellbent on destroying everything they touch, for one. Oh, and they have actual clearance, and consequences if they deliberately ruin something.
