 DOGE’s ‘limestone mine’ discovery proves Elon Musk’s waste-cutting is vital
Opinion by Post Editorial Board • 10h

In what has to be its wackiest nugget yet, Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency this week revealed that “Federal employee retirements are processed using paper, by hand, in an old limestone mine in Pennsylvania.”

Really and truly.

During a briefing in the Oval Office, Musk gave more details, explaining that the clunky, decades-old system means that “the most number of people that could retire possibly in a month is 10,000.”
 
Indeed, “The speed at which the mine shaft elevator can move determines how many people can retire from the federal government,” Musk marveled.

And when the elevator breaks down, “nobody can retire. Doesn’t that sound crazy?”

Sure does, but, somehow, the “retirement mine” is completely real.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
