I remember when I went to work for a family owned and managed residential real estate company. Almost everything they did was outdated and inefficient. For example, they painted entire apartments with 4-inch paint brushes. When the time was right, I introduced the roller to them. My boss believed that painting with a roller would 'fill up the wall with paint'. I convinced him that one could put a thinner coat of paint on a wall more uniformly, more quicky, and of course at less cost.

The problem was that the business is labor intensive requiring many work skills. However, the family was very education oriented, all family members having gone to college. They simply weren't oriented to efficient work habits or skills. My immediate thought was "this company needs me, badly".

So it is with government agencies. Old habits and attitudes prevail. Efficiency is unimportant, in fact the more the work piles up the more 'valuable' the bureaucrats become to the system. Hopefully the new administration will bring 'rollers' with them to the job.

LOL. Fresh eyes, huh? Just like the awesome "improvements" that DeJoy brought to the US Postal Service?
:)

Sorry, not gonna be taking business advice from two "bros", one of whom managed to pay 45M for a company and then proceed to shrink it to a quarter of its former value.

Yes, a former game show host, rapist, and traitor has all the credentials we need to fix government.

Suuuure.

And a whackjob who believes every idiotic conspiracy theory out there is just the guy we need to be in charge of our nation's health.

And a drug-addled, sex-trafficking pedophile is just the man we need as our top cop.

And a far left socialist sympathizer of murderous dictators is just who we need in charge of our nation's gravest secrets.

And a flip-flopping appeaser of a mass murdering war criminal communist KGB thug is who we need as Vice President.
 
Why didn't Trump fix the government the first time?

Oh, that's right. He was too busy building the most corrupt administration in history.

It will be much better this time, I'm sure. :auiqs.jpg:
This time, Trump is filling his administration with billionaires.

They will be the one's deciding deregulation of their own industries.
 
Fresh Eyes: On deporting illegals Trumps border czar said, "Me and mayor of Denver have one thing in common, he's willing to go to jail to protect illegals and I'm willing to put him in jail". BOOM! :auiqs.jpg::auiqs.jpg::auiqs.jpg:
Let us know when that happens, rube.

You need to make it a lot harder to hoax you.

Remember Trump's latest campaign slogan.
Trump will fix it.

I think his slogan should have been, Trump will tell you he fixed it.

He's not going to be giving you any advice. You can ruin (not a typo) your business any way you like.

You might be interested to know then that the IRS still runs MSDOS to do your taxes. They run patch software to emulate a more friendly GUI but it constantly crashes.
Why you ask? Because rather than making small incremental changes as technology and software improved, they've left it go unchanged since the 1990s to where now it would cost so much to update everything, they can't get Congress to approve it.

My company uses a state-of-the-art 1982 Oracle database. They've rolled out new web-based interfaces for part of it, but underneath the pretty screens it's still running the dinosaur.

Whenever Biden tried to get funding to upgrade the IRS systems and hire more auditors, the MAGA media screamed he was trying to hire 80,000 gun-toting, door-kicking agents.

Ask yourself, if a company can keep 1982 software working, why then does the computer industry need to keep totally changing operating systems and web software?
They say it is for security, yet, the security lapses never stop coming.

Basically what they are saying is that after 40+ years of writing new operating systems and new web browsers, etc., they are just now finally getting to where they know how to make them right?

That's certainly a valid point.

tRump's "fresh eyes" are sycophants

How would you feel if you went to the hospital and found the surgeons had been replaced by people who's main qualifications were flattering the administration?
