I feel like there needs to be some kind of a better outlet to tell voters from your position just how inefificent things are.

Like if voterse could see that, theyd vote for efficiency obviously. But it's so like, not in their pov.

Like take LA for example. If literally nothing is done about fire safety and prevention except saying "were upping our standards on fire and safety prevention, bringing more water to where it's needed and ensuring the city is ready for any future disaster" that's all they need to hear to elect the same damn people. And never once ask for an audit on that a year later, especially any audit with any consequences.

We need a better way for people to see, "he says they're doing all that, but clearly they re not and look how inefficient it is holy shit!"

Like, relying on politicians to "tell us what's going on" is just not working when we "all know they lie"

Perhaps with Ai we can have better stuff, but, whos to say that the Ai isn't funneling 3% of the money to Elon musk?

This is why we must live in pain and suffering, instead of well old efficiency. There's always someone to ask "yeah but what if.."

Maybe we need like IRS but just for the goverment, and it's got a division of journalists, that publish all the fucked up shit the IRS finds.

And it would be nice to have hard work rewarded in some way, but that would also involve you paying us more

But here in the real world the state would be nah how about you just do it or get fired. And then my counter-argument would be yknow that constant turnover means less competent counselors and also possibly a money loss for you in terms of having to constant hire and train?

And the state would be like “/shrug, as long as it’s less than the cost of doubling your staff or paying you bonuses then it’s worth it”


Weee

you're a public employee but you aren't spending tax dollars outright, you're billing for a service

im 99% sure you are safe from scrutiny unless you guys are holding counseling sessions in luxury hotels and then throwing cocaine and hooker parties on the taxpayer dime

mental health services are stretched so thin that anyone with half a brain is gonna be like, Yeah i'm not gonna screw with that, the entire field is like a single line of people holding back sheer hordes of utter insanity, we'll get into the need for the state mental hospitals another time

these government agencies under congress are just throwing american tax dollars willy nilly at any whim that tickles their fancy, that has to be addressed before the average tax rate is 30%

we have all thought about the trillions that the IRS collects each year and thought Holy hell where does all that money go? now we are seeing the tip of the corruption iceberg

Is there a process for deratifying treaties?

Although 59 is not the supermajority of 100?

We can't ask our senators to do more than 15 hours of actual work per week

they only make $174,000 per year but they're really good at saving money and living on a budget so after a couple years service they are worth millions because math

DOE was created in 1979, do we really need it? It's not like anyone thinks anyone from Genx or millennials are smart or anything.

Funny how basically right after that we start the student loan crisis.

As much as I hate zoomers I think they've made good progress in righting the ship recently.

not only does education get ridiculously more expensive, but student results go down and everyone gets dumber year after year starting 1979

prior to that, they figured out how to fly to the moon on sheet metal and tin foil

apparently nobody is smart enough to reproduce this feat, we're actually worse at space travel then we were in the 1970s

how is it possible to forget how to fly to the moon, every major technological breakthrough has been doubled and tripled within a few decades except space flight which regresses over time

they literally forgot how to do it, as their story goes
