Here's a quick piece I wrote up on how to understand DOGE as a very blatant attempt at procurement capture, a simple way of making government spending corrupt to benefit the tycoons. Please do pass it along & share any feedback! www.anildash.com/2025/01/04/D... (Thx for the nudge to write it!)

Great piece - my only quibble is that the acquisition process doesn’t *require* the govt to go with the lowest bidder…though it can. Especially in the tech arena - govt can choose “best value”, though that doesn’t alter the essence of your articulation of the challenge that DOGE presents…
