America’s institutions need structural reform. We need it in academia, we need it in the corporate world, and we need it in government. In all of these fields, the structures, incentives, and institutions that have grown up over time have been destructive, and need to be fundamentally transformed.

I’ll be writing about all of these things down the line, but for now let’s start with government. Though you don’t hear a lot about it on the right, the left is all bent out of shape over the prospect that a Republican administration elected in 2024 might partially deconstruct the existing protected civil service. I, on the other hand, am excited about that prospect, and only wish they’d go farther.

One of the biggest problems there is no way to fire these career bureaucrats in the federal government. I'll go out on a limb and suggest 80% of them have zero business working in the federal government, or any office job for that matter. These are people who should be shoveling shit or picking up trash on the highway. If the Chinese or Russians really want to target the US with a nuke, target Northern Virginia (NOVA) and other the suburbs around DC. That will solve 90% of the problems in the US right there. Forget targeting politicians. You can (in theory) vote those cocksuckers out.

The majority of the workers (and I use that term loosely) in the DC area are basically overpaid, underworked, and pathetically incompetent.

A great many of them are nigh impossible to fire, largely because of an overpowered union, and the fear of being called racists (niggers are vastly overrepresented, demographically, in government jobs). The sheer amount of paperwork to get someone terminated, even with cause, is tragicomic.
