This comment by saying it will be disastrous. Remember all the twitter predictions?

Underfunding and breaking of, for example, unemployment benefits systems causes real harm, real loss of medication, real loss of house, etc.

But that won't make the news in any meaningful way, and the destitute will often be too busy to make loud noises. And the populous at large will sigh and shake their head and say "what a shame", but the loss can be *enormous*.

I thought we were talking about firing IT consultants? Let me know when that happens.

> But that won't make the news

I think that would make the news immediately. The media is very interested in DOGE and its shortcomings.
