  • It sounds really bad to me. The implication behind efficiency is that if it’s inefficient then it can be stopped. It’s a question of control / funding. (Auditing for efficiency is already a thing in societies, DOGE is not that.)

    It’s like a government within a government. A super institution that sits above the others and decides budgets and policy.

    This super institution would need expertise in all things related to self governance. When this super institution audits education how will it know what is efficient unless it has that domain specific knowledge? And then economics, and then engineering, and then social planning, and so on.

    I think governmental efficiency stems from a society that values efficiency. Creating a super institution to rule them all is something else.








  • I didn’t think voters had access to “exterminate the rich” type representatives though. I can vote for neoliberal with a dash of mildly left (the Radical Left™)… or GOP which are actually far right.

    Tax the rich, restructure police, equality at a snail’s pace. That’s the far left in reality for voters. Centrists really are bastards.

    You’re not the first to realize there’s a wealth divide. You’re not the first to notice rich people using chaos to their advantage. You didn’t “figure out it.”

    The reason not everyone is constantly making it a “rich vs poor” thing is because the world is multifarious. People are multifarious. There’s overlapping struggles and amorphous factions.

    Get out of here with this child shit. Not everything needs to be distilled into “A vs B” “Red vs Blue” “Rich vs Poor” Just because you learned about a problem doesn’t mean everyone else is wrong for focusing on a different battle.







  • I think they’re like mold or cancer cells, or even a fire. You can’t decide to be a billionaire just like a plant species can’t decide to grow in crack in the pavement. It’s a system of interactions that decides that. Pure chance and a lot of failures that had as much right to succeed as any other.

    Billionaires are byproducts of our system weaved into a physical human body. It has a human life to confuse you and camouflage what it really is. It has a human brain and human emotions to generate reasons why it deserves to exist. It looks and feels like a person.

    Reminds me of mandrakes from Harry Potter. They scream like they’re alive but they’re just there to be harvested.
