@feld we'll probably never get insight into this.

so whats funny to me is a lot of the way DOGE is doing things is conceptually what I want, they are just fucking it up in practice.

Like, they talk about something and in less than 24 hours they have a spreadsheet of numbers of what they are talking about. There is a single guy that you can ask and he produces an answer, and the answer actually goes into detail.

This actually feels like a responsive and fully modern government office (at least in terms of communication) in a lot of ways.
