21 DOGE Staffers Resign as They Refuse to ‘Dismantle Critical Public Services’

“We have devalued the singular human capacity to see things whole in all their psychic, emotional and moral dimensions, and we have replaced this with faith in the powers of technical calculation.” ― neil postman, Technopoly: The Surrender of Culture to Technology, 1992

  • The staffers who resigned were all originally employees of the United States Digital Service, a technology unit established during President Obama’s second term in 2014. The unit was renamed and reorganized in January via executive order by Trump into the Musk-headed DOGE.

    So not the kids having a change of heart or anything, it’s the actual career professionals resigning.

      The youth are fully addicted to being on stage in the technology worship show, they were entirely raised within video games, and Elon Musk is providing everything they dream of.

      The "actual career professionals" still recall the concept of Government By The People For The People

      Not the new Elon Musk's people serve technology 2025.

      “With the rise of Technopoly, one of those thought-worlds disappears. Technopoly eliminates alternatives to itself in precisely the way Aldous Huxley outlined in Brave New World. It does not make them illegal. It does not make them immoral. It does not even make them unpopular. It makes them invisible and therefore irrelevant. And it does so by redefining what we mean by religion, by art, by family, by politics, by history, by truth, by privacy, by intelligence, so that our definitions fit its new requirements. Technopoly, in other words, is totalitarian technocracy.” ― Neil Postman, Technopoly: The Surrender of Culture to Technology, year 1992
