DOGE Puts $1 Spending Limit on Government Employee Credit Cards (www.wired.com)

From the post:

>Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency put a $1 spending limit on most credit cards belonging to employees and contractors of the General Services Administration—a critical agency that manages IT and office buildings for the US government—along with at least three other federal agencies. Similar restrictions are expected to roll out to the entire government workforce soon, according to several sources familiar with the matter.

>Musk has falsely claimed that 150-year-olds were receiving Social Security benefits. Experts told WIRED that DOGE likely overlooked a quirk in the payments system that doles out these benefits, which automatically sets a person’s birthday to May 20, 1875 if the real date is unknown, making these individuals appear to be 150 in the system.>>

Then why the fuck are you making a payment to a person with DOB unknown?! That is one of the most basic identifiers. All those fake SS#s don’t have birthdays affiliated with them? Color me shocked.

Yeah, That is kind of what I was thinking. Social Security benefits can only be issued after a specific age. So... If you don't have a DOB then you never get benefits. Simple as that. But we find that over 15 million people don't have a DOB so.....

I don't give a fuck that its a quark of COBOL programming. It's just showing that this system has never been properly audited.
