Pining for Bureaucracy

What the hell are Musk and Ramaswamy gonna be doing?

The whole approaching Round Two of Trump has the air of bull in the China closet about it. We get to watch a bunch of derelicts and rich kids play with the levers of government without having a clue regarding what governance looks like or what it entails.

They’re gonna run the country like a business, or attempt to. They want to tighten belts and streamline, cut jobs and get rid of whole agencies and departments. I wonder if they realize that demolition is a lot more fun, and easier, than building something new and functional.

There’s a troubling air of folly about this transition, like Trump, or more likely the Heritage Foundation, is telling the minions, “Have at it. Have fun.” The goal is chaos and a consolidation of power.

Whether there is a functioning government that is responsive to needs looks to be beside the point. Get ready for survival of the fittest.
