  • A CEO is proposing a DOGE dividend, where tax refund checks funded exclusively with portions of the savings from the Department of Government Efficiency are sent to tax payers.

The article from MassLive discusses the possibility of the U.S. government issuing $5,000 checks to citizens, inspired by a meme featuring a Shiba Inu dog from the Dogecoin cryptocurrency.
