  The people in charge are intentionally ignorant of things that _already exist in government_, like the OIG, 18F/USDS, etc. And since their actual goal is to slash and burn the government so that it's literally unable to function, thus justifying its total collapse since it no longer has capacity, they have to take out the people who actually look for corruption, look into social security fraud, improve government technology systems, etc who would see through and call this shit out. It's never been about making government more effect or efficient-- it's the managerial equivalent of the "starve the beast" mentality.

  it's because DOGE is full of sycophants and 18F wasn't, that's the whole thing

    You have to get rid of the technically literate internal competition if you want an oversight free monopoly.

        Seems to mostly just be extinguish in this case, unfortunately.

  The purpose of a system is what it does. DOGE was created to facilitate kleptocracy.

    And to remove anybody not blindly obedient. Paradoxically this is a real witch hunt
