1st major overhaul of the US Government in over 100 years. Past time for it
Ducttape? HEY, THAT’S ME!!!! Can I get paid for the use of my chat name here on FR?? LOL
There is a well-documented principle that says the square root of the number of people in any organization does 50% of the work. 100 people, 10 do half. 10000 people, 100 workers.
The bigger the organization, the less people at the top of the productivity.
Trump’s team looks like a revolution. I wish them success!

I worked at IBM Research for 10 years, husband for 20. I was surrounded by those people.

Is there anything we can do to prevent tens of thousands of ex-government employees with no discernible skills from invading our cities as they escape their homeland??? They won’t be able to compete with the Central American immigrants already here, so they’ll just be a drag on our city services!
Love it!
It’s going to be beautiful. The standard hackneyed pushback from the existing structure is starting to be regurgitated. The existing time servers will be used up.
Yes. From what I have seen in my close association with parts of the federal government is that plenty of people stand up and say “I can help!” and the standard answer is — “Sit down. No one asked for help. We don’t want your help. We’re not here to fix anything. Shut up.”
It’s just a whole different ballgame if you have people at the top announcing, “We’re gonna fix stuff”.
Because then plenty of people stand up and say “I can help!” and those people will move heaven and earth.
A cold November rain today, how fitting.

Gentlemen:
See that bookshelf over there. Those are the operating rules for us. It took me 30 years to be confident I would not run afoul of the rules in a noticeable fashion.
Great read!
It’s gonna be a riot, AND a circus. ;-)
I approve.

“The simple fact is that there exists a very small group of incredibly high-function, insanely productive people. It’s the dirty secret of the world. This tiny tribe conceives, invents, and builds basically everything novel. All of it. They are not normal people. They are the 0.1%.
Unless you have worked with them, around them, been a part of what they do, you simply lack a reference for what they are like. It’s essentially inconceivable how much such people can get done when they set their minds to it, how many rules they will disprove, break, or ignore, and how many paradigms they will upend.”
this is 100% correct!
“ people like this avoid government like it was a bag of plague rats”
They are right.
That’s a REALLY good article! Encouraging.
