The Department of Government Efficiency is such a misnomer.

It's like you were trying to make your car more efficient and instead you just ripped out the engine.

The car obviously isn't more efficient. You just don't have a working car any more.

Is kindle recommending me an AI generated book? That 'Disney' logo (zoom in) is wild.
