Trump's administration will have fresh eyes.

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 Almost everything they did was outdated and inefficient.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.

Who the hell was painting apartments with four inch brushes any time after 1970?

Those 4-inch paint brushes are still being sold.

I paint walls with a 9-inch roller but for oil-based paint jobs I use a 4-inch roller with 3/16" nap. The finish is so smooth it looks sprayed on.

X's fortunes are now tied to Trump's presidency.

Then it's even more doomed than it already was.
