Social Security systems contain tens of millions of lines of code written in COBOL, an archaic programming language. Safely rewriting that code would take years—DOGE wants it done in months.

        Nope. it won’t go wrong. Do you know how I know? Because the faultless, ever-wonderful DOGE team is on it. They have never gone wrong. Ever.

        oh, what about the 150 year old social security people? that simply never happened

        Needless to say, /s
