Sam Corcos, a top DOGE operative embedded at the IRS, has discussed plans for DOGE to build a new API, or application programming interface, to make IRS data more easily accessible to cloud platforms, sources told the magazine. A source with direct knowledge told Wired that the cloud platform could become the "read center of all IRS systems," allowing anyone with access to view and possibly manipulate all IRS data in one place.

YAS! Fight modernization at all costs! Keep all our retirement files under a mountain in 1950s file cabinets like God intended!
It can be cost ineffective to digitize paper if you just need to store for 40 years. I have direct personal experience with paper records. You can store a box of paper for decades for the cost of a human physically touching it to scan everything in there. Also there are IT costs of creating systems for storing and making digital info available and indexed over decades.
Next you will say this can all be handled without people. Apparently you have no experience with what a dried up rubber band or dogeared piece of paper can do to a sheet feeder.
I did a quick calculation. You could store a box of documents for hundreds of years for the cost of digitizing. That might get cut down by the wage cost of paying someone to retrieve the box whenever needed. And that could be expensive. However, the cost of indexing digitized material would probably be pretty high in order to facilitate rapid access. Stored paper is pre-indexed. The work was already paid for.
You seriously have no idea what you're talking about. Kind of like DOGE. It's just amusing for you to make fun of underground storage facilities. But they're not that rare.
