This is a misframing of the sentiment. No one believes there isn't waste in government. We just don't believe 5 under 20 year olds, some with criminal backgrounds, others whose only qualification is Elon Musk likes them, are good at identifying what's waste and what's important.
And we would like to see a measured approach to reducing waste, with some findings released to the people about what the plan is going forward and why the cuts make sense, rather than "just fire every probational employee" or "just 50% slash the SEC" or whatever else they are doing currently.
- grandempire 2y ago> 5 under 20 year olds, some with criminal backgrounds, This is a subset - the one the media choose to highlight and that’s occupying your mindshare.
- aprilthird2021 2y agoWhat's occupying my mindshare is that we are firing hundreds of thousands of Americans, disproportionately veterans, while at the same time raising prices of everything artificially. Welcome to stagflation. EDIT: Also, should anyone with a criminal background be in charge of what they're currently doing? I'd say no. That's just me
