I had no idea that the scale of their DOGE meddling was so large with respect to the SSA DMF files -- according to the article, as many of 4,000,000 were consigned to his file by Musk and his DOGies.
Then 40k people likely relying on that income, their ability to have bank accounts, and other things impeded by being on the DMF are screwed. In general, when it comes to living human beings it's better to be too cautious and avoid harm. At least that's what most decent people think.
Wow. Only in tech can you see someone casually suggest it's okay to ruin the lives of tens of thousands of people to save the programmers a few days of work getting things right.
Not to mention that at scale (as any D&D player will tell you), a 1% chance of anything is actually quite large. If it's a 1% chance of a bad thing, it's unacceptably large.
