As DOGE brags that Taxpayers may be getting 5k back after 2 years when they are set to expire after of course destroying all the systems in the country while they change the tax code yet again for the worse.
5k, is the check you "might get" for watching them gut everything.

“But while Musk’s rampage has been covered, the scope of its impact remains largely underappreciated. Experts say it can’t be measured in weeks or months or even in government services affected. Rather, it will be felt over the span of decades and defined in metrics like intellectual talent lost.”
The DOGE Brain Drain Has Begun
It’s not just jobs cut and agencies gutted. It’s the talent that will be lost for generations to come.
