DOGE, one of it's possible successes might be just transparency, making public spending public. No one knows where and how government money is spent, and there's been no way to find out. Suddenly the government buys thousands of cameras that cost $1000 or something. Some workers in DC maybe come into work one day a month. Eliminating these costs isn't going to impact the budget much, but it will give citizens at least some feeling of control, as they can shame and celebrate bad and good government. Chamath.
