Im here on Bluesky to spread the gospel of efficiency - more with less- more bang for the buck - anywhere where it is needed.

DOGE is emerging as the most inefficient, inaccurate govt operation If DOGE were a real DOGE, DOGE would shut this DOGE down www.nytimes.com/2025/03/02/u...

Nah the real story is the findings (Politico for example)from DOGE. The best disinfectant is daylight.

Squirrel Alert! The US is not taking over Gaza. Musk is taking over NOAA and the Department of Labor. Let's not miss the real story, one that will affect Americans.

The public sector needs to be much more efficient to make up for the fact the current administration wont touch entitlements. So be it. Buy themselves and everyone more time with a $35T+ deficit and higher borrowing costs. Efficiency, streamlining has to start now. Some will cry aUsTeRiTy.

The idea is to gut the civil service. Anyone who thinks they have a reasonable chance of finding new employment without having to move will consider taking the offer. We will lose so much expertise, government will become incredibly inefficient.

I dont think most people/consumers would time their purchasing decisions based on tariffs. Especially electronics.

The softness in attributes with the rise in inflation expectations leaves the Fed on the sidelines in policy purgatory - pause. Wait and see mode. Buying ahead of tariffs could boost spending on vehicles & electronics but push vehicle prices higher.

"destruction" vs efficiency Some prefer less with more, not more with less No Savings Some prefer less bang for the buck

you know what this wholesale destruction of the federal bureaucracy reminds me of? “Debaathification!” it reminds me of the immediate aftermath of the Iraq war or rather the beginning of the occupation.

Tariffs are not the only 'tax' that get passed-on. Almost no CEO/CFO would publicly say that these other expenses get passed on indirectly to the consumer and labor. Higher min wage Corporate/business taxes Gas tax etc etc

You're now going to pay more for coffee (because tariff tax, not just drought) and that is supposed to make Colombia accept US deportation flights.

You are up to date.
