    I tried to help a friend set up a Social Security Administration login a few days ago because of the reported (but now cancelled) plans to force anyone who didn’t have an online account to come into a SS office to continue to receiving their earned benefits. He didn’t remember if he had an web account or not.

    The SS website stopped responding after the 1st attempt and a 2nd attempt responded with, “Your account is now locked. You must come into an office or call us to unlock your account.”

    DOGE’s purpose is disaster capitalism - disruption, breaking things beyond repair, and manufacturing conditions where oligarchs can profit off of the resulting chaos. “Efficiency” has nothing to do with it.

      Efficient isn’t an error message. I thought these people were so pissed at a nonfunctional healthcare website that they’d never do such a thing themselves. And they’ve done it on purpose!
