Trump just announced a new <i>"Department of Government Efficiency"</i> (DOGE) led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, aiming to make government operations more efficient. Dogecoin’s price crazily jumped after the news!<p>I’m wondering:<p>- What changes could Musk and Ramaswamy realistically bring to government with this department, aside from firing staff?
- Could this idea spread to other countries in Europe?
- Is Dogecoin's reaction an indicator of anything deeper in Blockchain, or is this just another hype cycle?
- What could this mean for tech companies and businesses?<p>Would love to hear everyone’s thoughts!
All you need to know about this, is that the clowns professing about "government efficiency" have just announced that they're going to create a <i>second</i> government department tasked with keeping the government efficient. Sounds super efficient, two departments to do the same thing.<p>As with everything it's an excuse to deregulate pesky things like the environment, public safety, etc.
More billionaire back-slapping with the great orange bigot? Fostering human-oompaloompa relations?<p>I dunno, that's the best I could come up with.
They will probably only cut staff until unliked agencies can't fulfill their tasks and convince Trump to deregulate everything.<p>I expect more Boeings and more East Palestines in 10-15 years.
