Summary
Staff at the Social Security Administration (SSA) warn the agency is in “complete, utter chaos” due to drastic budget cuts, office closures, and job losses led by Elon Musk.
Plans to cut 7,000 jobs and centralize operations have disrupted services, with website outages and record backlogs.
Acting Commissioner Leland Dudek backs DOGE’s changes, despite union opposition and legal pushback. Critics say Musk is pushing misinformation to justify dismantling SSA.
With staffing at 50-year lows, experts fear a “death spiral” and potential collapse in service delivery.
Im moreso talking about news headlines. Leaving the EU was an incredibly serious situation and the news media made a cutsie pun nickname for it and said it on TV with a straight face.
Just as a side point, saying “someone else also does it!” doesn’t further anyone’s understanding of anything in my opinion.
