In this week’s broadcast of “The Daily Show,” Jon Stewart unintentionally cut himself deeply while shattering a coffee mug on his desk, a move expressing frustration over the disregard shown by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency towards billions of dollars in federal pharmaceutical subsidies that have been overlooked.
To illustrate historical inefficiencies within the U.S. administration, Stewart showcased a video of President Joe Biden commemorating agreements aimed at decreasing the cost of ten commonly used medications. However, Stewart, playing the part of being employed by DOGE (Dogecoin), expressed his indignation, asserting that such savings were insignificant and not worth celebrating.
Stewart expressed mock enthusiasm about the companies we support financially only letting us bargain for a handful of their medications, specifically 10. He pointed out that if this was just a minor part of what they offer, it would be embarrassing because the public expects us to negotiate over all their drugs, as we’ve already funded them through our subsidies! It’s utterly irrational!
After Stewart carelessly smashed the mug on his desk, sending it into countless fragments, I instantly noticed that he had accidentally sliced himself. He swiftly hid his wounded hand before humorously commenting, “Looks like I’ll need a trip to the hospital soon.
Prior to the event, Stewart functioned as an accountant, calculating potential savings on squandered government funds that Dogecoin could have achieved, rather than aiming at the employment of approximately 200,000 federal workers.
Here’s an idea: Let’s redirect the $3 billion in subsidies we currently give to oil and gas companies, which rake in massive profits. That’s a simple move, right? Or consider closing the carried interest loophole for hedge funds, that would save us approximately $1.3 billion annually. And then t Incredibly, I’ve just proposed savings worth billions in a mere 11 seconds!
