#22I like that the focus is on the issues with the disruptors that have been running for a few weeks, not the egregious spending for decades.
don't get fooled by the disruptor narrative, it might very well be just pretentious immaturity

#23destroying institutions is the plan. it's a cynical party. the only time "build" is mentioned is border walls. unfortunately "great" countries aren't BUILT on fear and cynicism.
I'm still not sold on this. I can't yet distinguish if the plan is to get rid of institutions or to gut what's their and rebuild it how the want it.
We may not end up with a smaller government, just a different one.

One could agree with the goals of reducing government spending and still argue that "the disruptors" are moving too fast and breaking too many things.
Sure, where are the nytimes articles that praise and highlight the good cuts?
You wanna list those out? So far all I've seen is cutting of body parts to lose weight.

@scottmcdoge Its not enough to have a plan to tear down. You need a plan to built too. Not seeing that.
That's where the privatization comes in. Elon has already tweeted "The safety of air travel is a non-partisan matter. SpaceX engineers will help make air travel safer"
It is so blatent, it's ridiculous.

#29Two points that are often missed:
1. Perfectly tracking every dollar is more expensive than having some slack in the system. There's an optimal amount, at least from an overall value perspective.
2. We spend too much, and both sides of the aisle repeatedly blocked attempts to curb spending for literal decades while our debt got higher. That's how someone doing something coming in with a hatchet and no plan to build gets cheered instead of booed by a large percentage of the populace.
The problem Americans have with the political system has roots on Webers concept of politics as a vocation.

They don't always say negative things, there was positive article praising the success of Elon Musk in promoting Doge-scam:
