Most government departments have full offices whose purpose is to eliminate waste. Donald Trump fired a lot of them.
- One man's waste is another man's grift
  
  Trump’s waist is another man’s girth.
I have worked for absolutely huge government departments, and in private industry doing the same thing
The private sector did the job with fewer people sometimes, but the costs to the government were astronomical and the profits went offshore
Working for the government department meant more people were spending their money in the local economy
I know which one was better for society, and if it wasn't for people getting sweet deals to contract out works, then it would all have been government run, the way it should always have been
Firing a bunch of people to make things more efficient NEVER works. It costs more money and it bottlenecks all processes. Trump is an idiot, musk is an idiot.
- But it makes great TV
Well I mean what do you expect. I mean this sincerely. If your job is to supposedly to reduce wasteful expenses and you're not finding them: you're the wasteful expense. Mission accomplished.
- Kinda like auditors who can't find anything so they make up shit so they can write a report and justify their role.
Ah, he made the cardinal mistake of trying to do the stated job instead of what he was told. Did he mistakenly think that he wasn't working for a bunch of neo-feudalistic fascists?
I can't even pretend that I am shocked
Is OP a bot?
