Brickbat: Too Much Information

The Internal Revenue Service posted to its website confidential information for 120,000 taxpayers with retirement accounts invested in assets like master limited partnerships and real-estate investment trusts. Those taxpayers, as well as tax-exempt nonprofits, must file 990-T forms. Only the information for the nonprofits was supposed to be posted. IRS officials said they removed the information as soon as they noticed the mistake and didn't post Social Security numbers or income figures. But they did not say how long it had been up.

This is clearly an error brought on by the inability of our government to hire the best information technology personnel, because it is too focused on checking intersectionality boxes.
Maybe it could be solved with 87,000 new agents and trilions of dollars.

Mote likely, not.
I am creating eighty North American nation greenbacks per-hr. to finish some web services from home. I actually have not ever thought adore it would even realisable but (dbt-06) my friend mate got $27k solely in four weeks simply doing this best assignment and conjointly she convinced Maine to avail.

Uh, "hire the best" is white privilege thinking and racist.
Merit is so triggering....fails to take into account the diversity and lived experience of the job candidate. Who can say what they might contribute?
It's not like taxpayers were forced to give that information to the IRS.
Remember that complying with federal tax law is legally "voluntary", according to the government. Despite the fact that you can be heavily fined or even jailed for insufficiently complying.
Breathing is voluntary. You can always choose asphyxiation.
Repeal the 16th!
Did everyone pay their “fair share”?
Just a test of how to out all those deplorable MAGA types.
Yes, just a coincidence that all 120,000 names were Republican office holders, contributors, and registered Republicans?
Could you cite a source? It matches my expectations too closely to be true.
Fuck the IRS, Joe Biden, MSM, and every other government agency.
[yes, MSM is a government agency, if you haven't already noticed by now]
Clearly this would have never happened had the IRS been properly funded.
Or if the IRS had more properly never been funded.
