From my perspective, it seems like tech bros are declaring everything they see to be waste without any real familiarity with the specific programs that they're cutting and without any cost-benefit analysis. The program that this poster highlighted - educational materials to prevent SIDS - seems incredibly cost-effective. The actuarial value of an infant's life is very high - certainly in the millions of dollars. And getting parents to understand what they need to do and change their behavior can be very difficult. Spending $10 million a year (to use the poster's number) to make sure that doctors have good educational materials in a variety of languages is worth it from a cost-benefit perspective if it saves a single infant life a year. What's your evidence that it isn't cost-effective?
