Agree or disagree with the goings on, I find it interesting that these government memos and executive orders are still crafted with such beautiful prose. Who are these stalwart writers weathering the storm?
While there’s in principle nothing wrong with thoughtful deregulation, it’s very hard to support a government that has so many conflicts of interest and shows so little basic economic understanding.
Initiatives like these feel like a smokescreen to get people riled up while they rob you blind. Your 401k, your job, your alliances, your allowances and your international reputation are all second to their real mission, to profit from the chaos they sow.

Killing bureaucracy will sow chaos. But bureaucracy can only comfortably grow and uncomfortably shrink.
When the department of traffic hired that guy to sort through the backlog of $x, and that guy gets fired, there’s nobody to sort through that data. $x will not consistently be serviced. But that was the uncontroversial circumstance before.
If, every time someone got hired, they wrote their own exit script, assuming their position would not be replaced, DOGE’s work would be less controversial.
My best Dutch friend is an interim manager. He’s specifically hired to reorganize organizations. He works mostly on government projects, focusing on cost savings and increasing efficiency. He reorganizes successfully without sowing chaos. If you do it right, you get a lot of support from the people involved.
If you act professionally, you don’t need to swing axes around. Chances are you will hurt people and it always makes you look completely incompetent.

American people.

It's hard not to read this in Borat's voice.
what is this?
An official call for comments from the public on removing regulations, with a wild title to boot.
