The IRS: Top. Men.

Yes, they are incompetent, lazy, and stupid.

And 80,000 of them have guns which they will use on ..........somebody.........assuming they don't shoot themselves first, of course.

The Internal Revenue Service lost millions of taxpayer records and federal employees don’t know where they have gone.

Lawmakers want answers and accountability for the IRS over those documents, which could be used by nefarious actors to steal Americans’ identity....

 ...The IRS keeps microfilm records of individual and business tax records in warehouses around the country. However, a recent Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration report found that millions of those records were unaccounted for, and federal employees couldn’t answer questions about what happened to them....

 ...TIGTA also reported that the IRS was unable to locate any of the fiscal year (FY) 2010 backup records that should have been sent from a Tax Processing Center in Fresno, California, to Kansas City, Missouri. In addition, the IRS could not account for 4,500 backup cartridges from FY 2019 containing individual taxpayer information and 4,000 backup cartridges from FY 2018 containing business tax records. This means the IRS cannot account for possibly 17 million tax records between FY 2018 and FY 2019 alone....

Oh, yes, it gets better!

... TIGTA [also] observed multiple empty boxes that were intended to store up to 168 backup cartridges with hand written notes stating “sent for reformat 4-11-2013.” IRS personnel, however, had no idea where these backup cartridges were located because the microfilm contractor that would have received the backup units went out of business in 2018....

OK, then.  CDC is filled with moronsIRS is filled with morons.  I'm willing to bet that the Department of Education is filled with sub-moronic humanoids.

Shutting it down is a very good idea.  Say for a year or two.
