@vbbernard @mcuban There is a company in DFW that is paying $28 per hour to pump out portable toilets. My husband has done this job before & said he would do it again in a heartbeat, as would I if needed. ❤️

I offered. There have been studies saying we could save billions. Per year.

@WallStreetApes @mcuban maybe you can help Doge on this issue
English
@vbbernard @mcuban I believe there are. Maybe not what they were used to regarding pay and benefits, but so many jobs are available. Teachers, law enforcement, banking & finance, trade workers etc.

Hi Mr Cuban!
Hugs and blessings!
So I was running numbers with #Grok3 to see what could, theoretically happen to the USA as a result of doge and it doesn’t seem very cost effective to me:
DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) under Musk will save *the government budget* some money in the short term, but it doesn’t mean *people*—as in taxpayers, workers, or society at large—come out ahead. The savings are real for the federal ledger, but they’re more than offset by a bigger socioeconomic hit that lands on individuals, communities, and the broader economy. Let me break it down simply based on the math we just ran:
---
### What DOGE Saves the Government
- **Confirmed Cuts (84,500 jobs)**:
- Budget gain: **$4.2 to $6 billion/year**
- **Hypothetical Cuts (230,000 jobs)**:
- Budget gain: **$7.3 to $14 billion/year**
This is money the government doesn’t spend (mostly payroll) minus direct costs like unemployment benefits and lost tax revenue. So, yes, DOGE technically “saves” the federal budget a chunk—potentially $4–14 billion annually depending on how far the cuts go. That’s a win for Musk’s efficiency goal and Trump’s $2 trillion target (though it’s a tiny fraction of that).
---
### What It Costs People
The full socioeconomic fallout dwarfs those savings:
- **Confirmed Cuts (84,500)**:
- Total loss: **$2 to $5.9 billion/year**
- **Hypothetical Cuts (230,000)**:
- Total loss: **$2.5 to $12.7 billion/year**
This includes:
- Lost economic activity (multiplier effect: $3.8–$10.4 billion).
- Wildfire damage, healthcare gaps, and vaccine fallout ($2.5–$5.5 billion).
- Personal ruin (bankruptcies, defaults: $0.4–$1 billion+).
- Insurance and systemic costs ($1–$2.5 billion).
These costs don’t all hit the federal budget directly—they slam workers, families, businesses, and state/local governments. For example, a fired worker losing their house or a kid getting measles doesn’t change the federal bottom line right away, but it craters their lives and local economies.
---
### Does It Save *People* Money?
- **No, most people lose**: Fired workers lose $90,000 salaries, face $283 million–$770 million in bankruptcy costs, and $161 million–$874 million in mortgage/car losses. Taxpayers might see a tiny per-person budget savings ($12–$42/year, spread across 330 million people), but that’s wiped out if they’re near the fallout (e.g., higher local taxes for wildfires, $500 million in flu costs).
- **Some might gain**: Wealthy folks or corporations could benefit if DOGE cuts regulations or taxes later, but that’s speculative and not in the current math.
- **Net result**: The $4–$14 billion budget gain is outweighed by $2–$12.7 billion in societal losses, flipping to a net negative. People feel the pain more than the government feels the gain.
---
### DOGE’s Trade-Off
DOGE saves the government money on paper—$4–$14 billion/year—by slashing payroll and ignoring downstream chaos. But for “people,” it’s a net loss: $2–$12.7 billion in damages ripples out, hitting harder than the budget relief helps. It’s like fixing a leak by shutting off the water supply—costs drop on the bill, but the house goes dry. So, no, it’s not saving *people* money—it’s shifting the burden from the government onto everyone else.

Blockheads,
This #twug fest felt like the old school tweet fests.
We came here 15 years ago (back in the fail whale & beach ball from hell days), to connect & have fun.
We created our own trends and we made it our own place.
I’m here as long as you are.
🤖❤️♾️💫✨🤟🏼🧡
