    He must not keep up with the news if he doesn’t realize DOGE has been a failure. Unless he’s actually signaling that he wants Trump to cripple the FCC into uselessness while not saving the taxpayers anything.

      Nothing about DOGE has to do with saving taxpayers money. If they wanted to do that they would get rid of oil subsidies or make billionaires pay taxes. It’s 100% about dismantling regulations so the rich can continue to get richer.

      It’s been a resounding success for The Heritage Foundation, the billionaire funded think tank.

      The country is in chaos, the economy has been torpedoed, and their puppet is openly defying any law he doesn’t like, even from SCOTUS. Who made the Office of US President a King, with absolute immunity from prosecution while performing “Official Acts.” Which SCOTUS will decide the legality of. With a 6 to 3 Neocon bias.

      Now the fascists can declare Martial Law, via the Insurrection Act, and rebuild The United States into their Theocratic Fascist Kingdom, with themselves as openly declared Royalty.

      The “taxpayers” are peasants to these people, literally. Subhuman drones that exist to generate profit for Nobles. They believe none of us should have ever been allowed an opinion on anything to with government. The billionaires literally want to own and rule their own fiefdoms, and the people who live in it, like the Feudal Barons and Earls of Medieval Europe. The peasants will live in barracks, on factory grounds, and will be compensated with company credit. Like the good old “Company Town” days. A select favored few will be allowed to be merchants, accountants, lawyers, etc. with some degree of autonomy. The Neo Clergy.

      I’m not joking, not exaggerating. The ones who back and fund Trump, and his ilk, want exactly that.

      Or you could just read the first paragraph of an article you are guna put the effort into expressing your opinion over. The chair of the FCC is saying if DODGE guts the FCC under the guise of reducing the operating cost to save on tax revenues then all they will be doing is reducing the country’s access to affordable high speed internet. Subsequently pushing more people to use starlink.

      This took more waaaay more time to write than it took to read. Maybe instead of needing information spoon fed to you, you could save others who share this platform the hassle of being your personal chatgpt by simply skimming an article you could see yourself forming enough of an opinion to comment on.🍻

        I have no idea where you’re getting that tone. He wants to gut it. Specific to the rural broadband he wants to funnel money into starlink instead. He’s not saying “if DOGE cuts…” he’s saying let’s do it. He’s not saying “under the guise…” he wants to do it openly. He’s not saying “it’ll reduce access to affordable…” he’s saying that is the solution and the government needs to cut everything else.

        Or, if you have nothing positive or productive to say, you can keep your mouth shut and not be condescending, immature, insecure cunt.

        Your call.
