What the Tech Right Sees in Trump;
• While SpaceX put more than 300 rockets into orbit for less than $10 billion, California has built 1,600 feet of elevated rail for $11 billion, and now projects its high speed rail project will cost a total of $128 billion.
• Congress earmarked $7.5 billion in 2021 for a half-million electric-vehicle charging stations. By May 2024, only eight had been built. Not 8,000. Not 800. Eight.
• The federal government allocated $42.5 billion on rural broadband and has connected zero homes after three years.
• Unimaginably large parts of Los Angeles were just destroyed by a devastating fire while its fire hydrants didn’t work, and while fire department leadership seemed more focused on DEI than saving lives.
Something has to change. Our politicians can no longer remain fixated on steady, predictable preservation of the status quo. Instead, we need a leader who will fight for the country, is willing to risk change, and who realizes America’s exceptional potential.

The first step requires terminating the managers and senior civil servants. These, the unelected and unaccountable, are the ones making the decisions. Most fumbled their way to the top positions and are the most incompetent of the bunch.
The bureaucratic heirarchy is ossified. Their mandate mignt be their vision statement but their priority is self preservation. Ministers are hamstrung by lower levels of bureaucracy. If that isn’t addressed, little will change.
Preservation is their primary goal followed by expanding their little fiefdoms.
No government program never fails to expand. Very few ever get sunseted . If ever they are terminated, they get rolled into some other program.
Career bureaucrats don’t fade away or die, they stick around like gum to your shoe.
Status quo?
Debts have never been higher, our public “servants” get rich, and it’s not just the homeless that are kicked to the curb. Yes , there is incompetence, but don’t forget corruption.
On the subject of gov’t spending – a little late night listening on the building of the Panama Canal – 10 years to build …cost $350 million 1910 dollars and 4% under budget.
Took 5000 lives which is kind of a black eye but whaddya gonna do.

I’ve just watched Trump’s address to the WEF and I must say, without a doubt, in my seventy odd years of living that was the most polite kick in the gonads that I have evr seen delivered!!!!

I just had to deal with the civil servants at Regina City Hall about my delayed water bill. What a bunch of useless F**ks! There is an old adage as to why civil servants do not work in the morning, it is because they would have nothing to do in the afternoon. I think all levels of government provide make work programs for people who are unemployable in the private sector.
End of Rant!
hardly working at 30% more cost .
And here’s what’s really gonna bake your noodle! … that $11B … $7.5B and $42.5B ($61 B) in government spending has resulted in the hiring of thousands of new government employees who can now … never be fired … and will be collecting critically underfunded yet bloated Pensions for the rest of their lives as they retire at age 50.
We need to build a wall around that shit.
