But if ‘efficiency’ is just code for ‘I want to burn down the civil service so it’s easier for my businesses to make money because I don’t have to worry about safety or worker’s rights’ - that’s a different conversation and we shouldn’t waste brain cycles with bad faith arguments

Given the new obsession with government efficiency, it’s time to lay down a new rule: Be Specific!

When we talk about efficiency we have to be specific about what we want to government to be efficient at doing and calling out what problem you’re trying to solve.
