Something I've noticed is that the facade of "efficiency" isn't even being proferred anymore. Only a month and a half in and the mask has dropped completely.

- engineer_22 2y agoThey've stopped using military transport /because/ they say it's inefficient.
- iAMkenough 2y agoI don't see them calling their own decision inefficient in any reporting or statements.
- rurp 2y agoNobody was surprised by the cost. Military flights have been used for deportations before and it is well known that they are wildly more expensive than other options. The clowns in charge keep proving that the cost cutting is an extremely weak pretense, but a disturbing number of people still believe them.
- jxjnskkzxxhx 2y agoIndeed. It was never about efficiency. What astonishes me is that these obvious lies often trick otherwise smart people. Specifically, I recently watched a roundtable that included John Cochrane and he was super excited about the "brilliant little doge team" and their cost cutting (this was just after they nuked USAID). Like, is it possible that's hes actually stupid? Or maybe media illiterate. Or maybe he's not paying attention to the way the world is going, and still takes these people at face value. All of these are bad looks for someone who's supposed to be a top economist.
