The matter of taking over the key government institutions of the US government by the richest man in the world and his strike of former trainees is to happen so fast.
It was three weeks since Elona Male funds took over the government and the HR department. Since then, the movements of his so-called government efficiency department had a cartography of horro film, Doge picking Agencies one by one based on suspent logic, feeding in a nonplant thirst for reducing and data.
Every day brings fresh taste. Three weeks ago, the United States believed in humanitarian aid. It helped people who took place with great corporations. She financed the infrastructure needed for America to make a scientist of scientific innovations. The Agency for International Development of the United States was now extracted, the Consumer Consumer Consumer Protection Bureau is on the Ice, and the National Institutions for Health Facilities are a fox. So much for all that.
These are more cruel spreadsheets, performed with a click. Loss of jobs and life of real peoples – Yes, despite the X-known theorists of conspiracy to tell you, USAID stored lives – all irrelevant compared to a solid balance sheet.
Three weeks ago, a 19-year-old who calls himself via the Internet “Big Ball” did not have access to state staff and more. A 25-year-old with a closet full of racist tweets did not receive the keys to treasury systems that pay $ 5.45 of the billion every year. Elon Musk did not turn an oval office to the Roma room for his four-year-old son.
The speed is a strategy, of course, flood the zone so that neither the media nor the courts can follow. Laws and court orders are moving on a different time frame from this approach to reduction and combustion. (At this rate of Doge, wiretapping in every last government server for a long time before the Supreme Court even has the opportunity to strive.) But also reflexive. The first row of business in a corporate download is as fast as possible to reduce costs. If you can’t release people, offer them a redemption. If they won’t take a redemption, find a way to fire them anyway. Continue cut until you hit the bone.
This is how you receive an executive that “Each Agency employs no more than one employee for each four employees who leave”, an arbitrary ratio regardless of the real staff needs. Thus, on the way you get hundreds of a federal government building on the auction block no matter how completely occupied. It is also extreme and ill-considered, a race for empty just a city.
And then … What? This is the question that Elon Musk and Doge did not answer, because there is no answer. Does the United States government have to become a profit engine? To return the shareholder value? Does Medicaid need to show the product market in time for the next round of funds?
This is a consulting logic. This is an engineering sprint whose inevitable target line is unwrapping a social contract. However, democracy does not die in the darkness; He dies in the Jira ticket that filed Palantir Alums.
