Great article! I fear this will be the country's rude awakening to Chesterton's Fence. The GAO recommendations list is a really great thing to point these DOGE people to. We have literally no reason to assume they're equipped to do this.
Edit: It's apparent most people commenting haven't actually read TFA. You should!
- ttyprintk 2y agoThanks for mentioning Chesterton's Fence. This is the only shred of conservatism left: that rapid change in society historically is a net negative.
- jeffbee 2y agoI thought the untimely de-staffing of the CDC office in China was the rude awakening. Their mission was the apparently pointless one to "monitor, respond to, and control human seasonal, avian, and other novel influenza viruses"...
- llamaimperative 2y agoExcellent example. Unfortunately lands in a weird self-contradictory knot on half the country: wasn’t a real problem, was a real problem but China did it on purpose, maybe real but we couldn’t have detected it sooner and also it was China’s responsibility to detect it, and also they lied about the non-existent virus’s existence, etc
