> That's you moving the goalposts. I just want it to be efficient. This idea that government is going to be "professional and productive" is ridiculous.
Efficiency refers to the ability for an agency to achieve its objectives using the least amount of resources while maintaining high-quality service, transparency, and accountability.
There is a paradox in expecting high efficiency from a government agency while offering low pay to its employees.
Don't expect motivated and talented employees when you have a low pay, because there's also a good chance that they're easy to corrupt.
Hence my words "paradoxical nature".
> does the EPA having credit cards prevent river fires
Does the EPA not having credit card prevent river fires ?
I'm still not sure about what's the best between a situation where someone has to fill 2 forms to asks for new pencils and that 2 directors have to approve it OR the same person has a budget of few hundreds dollars per year to buy pencils. (Back to the efficiency point)
Reducing those credit card to 1$ is just virtue signaling to poor people that thinks that those same employees pays their groceries with that credit card.

> Adding acute accents does not make your point any smarter. -1 for me for having a multilingual keyboard that auto corrected "definitions" to "définitions" (in French) and not proofreading.
>> My opinion clearly don't matter
>Yet you so readily share it.
I'm not in the US, that why my opinion doesn't matter.
You clearly didn't understood my point, I'm not saying it's good nor bad to do what they're doing, I'm curious of what's gonna happen.
From my joke, nobody ever decided to unplug that server and wait for someone to scream.
The current administration is now unplugging everything, everywhere. The results will be interesting.
