What immediately sprung to mind is how the deaf community has seen things like this as a personal and existential threat.
To me it's an obvious disability, and deaf people SHOULD want to be cured, but tribalism wins that argument all too often.

I think it speaks a lot about a person who assumes "a smart person would resign from DOGE".
Just because they're scattershot cutting doesn't mean they're stupid.
* Network effect, or lack thereof. Very few people use it. * Its nature is contrary to the ecosystem. The CLR is fundamentally resistant to the paradigms that F# creates.
Wonderful little language - one of my favorites - and we owe a lot to it for the great features that C# has. But it just hasn't picked up the critical mass it needs.
Actually, if you choose to duel him, Magus will die. You specifically have to not fight him. :)
Chiefly among them is their famously bad support. Just google it- I've never spoken with anyone or seen a single written word saying that Azure support is even decent.
It's a race to the bottom platform, and I'm starting to get to the point where I want to start selling AWS.

TLDR: lots of flags on this thread, despite the overwhelming number of comments that tend in one direction.
Think about that.
TBH, after seeing the number of upvotes and comments, I wondered why it wasn't ranked higher. Your explanation makes sense to me.
I think you struck the right balance here.
While DOGE is not a good long-term solution, it's so far better than literally any other major effort by a US government entity to combat waste at the federal level - which is to say that it's literally the only one that I've ever heard about in my lifetime.
It's a start.
OP sounds very bitter and - frankly - melodramatic. Getting laid off is terrible, but this person makes it sounds like they'll never heal/never be the same/all companies suck/etc. when none of those things are true. There is an implied business relationship with an employer that can end anytime, and that's expected because it's a two-way street.
I agree with the top commenter - seanc - when he says:
> Carrying around bitterness and cynicism is just bad for you. Pride in good work and pleasure in having an impact on customers and coworkers is good for you. Sometimes that means making dumb business decisions like sacrificing an evening to a company that doesn't care, but IMO that sort of thing is worth it now and then.
Finally, income diversification pays huge dividends. I had a startup job where suddenly I found myself with a $65k/year pay cut one week. I had side work from folks who were asking me for more anyways so I quit that same week on Friday. Now I employ 10 people and pull in nearly a million a year. Really makes the emotional part of having lost income that week completely meaningless in the long run.
Am an American and wouldn't dream of doing something like this.
