This week Doge perfectly exposed government bureaucracy in a nutshell. While working on the IRS website Doge noticed the site's login button wasn’t in the top right like most websites. It's a small thing but Doge noted it was weirdly placed in the middle of the page. So Doge wanted to move it to the right spot but an IRS engineer said the soonest they could do that was July 21st, over a 100 days from now.
So what did Doge do? They stepped in and fixed it in 70 minutes. Here's how it looks now. See there it is. They moved it from the middle to the top. It's a small thing, but the government would have needed a hundred days to do it. To go from there to there. So imagine how long it takes for them to do stuff that actually requires more effort.
This is how the government works. Hey Steve, can we change the website a little? No problem Joe. I'll have to submit a work order for that which requires approval from the boss. And then we'll circle back at the monthly meeting for the next round of approvals. Then we'll hire a contractor to hire a subcontractor that will hire a teenager to make the change. Total cost of John Q taxpayer? 60 billion dollars.
But when it's no longer on the taxpayers's dime it gets done in minutes. See this is why you need Elon and Doge. A government website shouldn't be harder than translating Jasmine Crockett into English. —Greg Gutfeld
