The disruption is (part of) the point. Degrading the ability of government employees to do their jobs leads to greater inefficiency and more failure, which can then be pointed at to validate assertions that government isn't efficient and produces bad outcomes.

I think people didn’t want to believe it when they blamed DEI for the helicopter crash. The algebra looks like this: Privatize FAA = x + y Where x is any discovery or event related to the FAA, and where y is any red meat justification (dei|immigration|trans). There are many such equations: Strategic bitcoin reserve = x + y. Long two years, just going to leave this here. They will always find x and y to complete their…
