- actionfromafar 2y agoTo more efficiently rout trouble-makers and unions.
- lesuorac 2y agoLog storage is expensive.
- skeeter2020 2y agoIt's not the storage, but processing with NR and DataDog is what's expensive. That's why the efficiency team asked to not have their actions logged in the first place.
- phanimahesh 2y agoI can honestly not tell if this comment was intended to be taken seriously, or if it was tongue in cheek.
- const_cast 2y agoI really want to believe it's tongue in cheek because the thought of asking not to be audited in order to save some compute on Splunk queries or whatever is very funny to me.
- int_19h 2y agoWhen in doubt, check the comment history.
- EdwardDiego 2y agoIt is.
- croes 2y agoHow is firing people helping government efficiency?
- 2OEH8eoCRo0 2y agoYes, how?
- _heimdall 2y agoWell you have to put context around what is being made more efficient. Reducing headcount reduces labor costs and can be a form of financial efficiency. Reducing headcount also usually reduces the sheer number of people involved in any project, much like a small startup can move drastically quicker than a large, established org. That said, there goal here doesn't seem to be clear as to what is being made efficient and they definitely aren't reducing the budget or size of government (outside of literal headcount, most people complain instead of red tape and regulations).

- rsynnott 2y agoNothing they are doing is related to government efficiency. You can't really put too much faith in names.
- XorNot 2y agoThe basic rule of government naming: the more of GOOD THING in the name, the less of that it will be.
- viraptor 2y agoThat generalises to a lot of naming. Papers like Fakt or Pravda, country DPKR, political parties that mention law, justice and order, etc.
- rsynnott 2y agoI always particularly liked the Committee of Public Safety, for this (they're the ones who did the Reign of Terror, which doesn't seem _particularly_ public-safety-oriented.)
- JKCalhoun 2y agoВ « Правде » нет известий, а в « Известиях » нет правды
- sham1 2y ago> В « Правде » нет известий, а в « Известиях » нет правды For the sake of context, this is an old Soviet-era joke, that translates to about the following: > In "Pravda" (The Truth, CPSU's newspaper) there are no news. In "Izvestiya" (The News, national newspaper of the USSR, under the control of the Supreme Soviet) there is no truth.
- pchristensen 2y agoDon’t forget Truth Social

- delusional 2y agoThat way they can save some money litigating Elon and his goons. It's not like that litigation would get anywhere anyway, so better to save the public the waste /s
- alistairSH 2y agoNothing about DOGE or the Trump administration is about efficiency. It's just a label they use to con gullible voters. Their real goal is more likely a combination of grift and settling grudges. Edit - typos
- dandanua 2y agoThe next administration won't be able to spend time and money investigating crimes of the current one /s
- _heimdall 2y agoIn the same way that finding waste while increasing the federal budget isn't efficiency. Technically, maybe you can squint and find small pieces that are more efficient but in the grand scheme of things they goal doesn't seem to be a smaller government.
