Who will stand up to the DOGE bullies? Sure, he has the permission of the dictator to destroy and steal anything he wants. BUT I have to believe there are some really smart data people who could plant some viruses or archive our data or do something to minimize the DOGE damage??

Around .004%, I believe. It also funds the inter library loan program, which is one of the most efficient ways of purchasing books, as libraries can circulate copies rather than every library having the same books in their collections.

Keep people uneducated and u increase the achievement gap. Take away learning opportunities and you save money and dummy down society so only the rich prosper. Get DOGE out of government business
