Doge reduces effectiveness programs in the name of “effectiveness”

You would think given Elon Musk’s obvious disgust to government waste that he would be excited to see employees who have dedicated their career to make things in the federal government better. But, According to WiredHe and his team at the Ministry of Government Efficiency have chosen to simply dismiss them unceremoniously and abandon their projects to optimize how the government works.

CableMusk cutting style cutting was effectively worth the General Services Administration (GSA) and the United States Digital Service (USD), about 200 technologists-at least 90 in 18F, launched a digital services agency during the Obama administration, which has helped quietly to update and improve systems in the systems of the systems in all the systems in the Government.

What are these technologists working on this Musk and its crew at college Edgelords, which have been found to be so wasteful or corrupt? Well, among those who lost their work last week Employees who have built an IRS direct file programWhich finally gave taxpayers a way to file their taxes directly to the government without paying a third party to play a decision-decision, which is likely to make it difficult to unfold this service to more people.

Others have worked at the State Department’s Consular Bureau of the State Department for the construction of a system for more efficient processing of passport applications. Another group of employees helped the National Meteorological Service (NWS) update Weather.gov to make their API more stable and accessible to time applications and other services. Technologists from other departments are also pushed, including those working with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which upgrade the agency’s disease monitoring system that monitors pathogens and disease trends.

If the Musk team examines the 18F record, they will see one of the most effective and efficient offices around FUDIALLY CHANGE the way the citizens interact with the federal government. In addition to the IRS direct file system, 18F built Login.gov, which joined access to many large government services through one entrance. It fixes Healthcare.gov, which has a catastrophic performance, but is now an extremely navigable platform for access to healthcare opportunities. Plus, it made countless changes behind the scenes that have standardized and modernized the government. This is really good at what it does, which makes the government more efficient.

Musk has repeatedly, insist that “every law will do the opposite of its name.” So it may be worth considering its Ministry of Efficiency of the Government through the same lens. If it was really so effective, would he insist that it was in the name? Just something that needs to be considered.
