Society USAID needs its own thread, shit is cray

you mean, Josh the pimp?
If you want to see the full extent that the tendrils of this cancer has stretched to, do a search for any instance of the phrase "whole of society" being parroted. Those who know history might be better acquainted by its other name, totalitarianism. Originated during the Obama regime, USAID is just one cog in the gear of this scheme:
Whole of Society: How The Previous Administration Coordinated The Censorship Industry - Foundation for Freedom Online
SUMMARY White House publications from 2022 shows that under the previous administration, the Federal government attempted to coordinate the global “counter-disinformation” industry, in an effort that spanned private and public sectors and traveled across borders. These efforts materialized in a...

I remember that cunt.
There was a few of them. I stopped reading that thread cos of the straight bullshit they were spewing.
I remember thinking that for sure he worked for the government ( didn't see him brag about it though) just within reading a few posts of his.
There was also a couple of people working for the government for sure with covid. Snowy was his SN.
That shit pissed me off that they weren't band. No fucking way in hell I'd let the government propagandaise my website.
That guy was indeed a cunt.
He was constantly bragging about being with a NGO but was very vauge what they actually did in the Ukraine
True.. Fire them all and see what breaks and hire back ONLY the people that are needed to fix it. You probably won't notice 95% of the people are gone.
A lot of people are going to end up jobless and that sucks for them. But the federal government is the largest employer in the country, that's a problem in itself. And as much as it sucks for a lot of these people, the alternative of continuing to damage the country is not an option. Plus, we are doing people no favors if they continue to not be a positive part of society and only be a financial burden to the rest of the nation. And that's putting it nicely because the existence of some of these people in these jobs are a net negative and makes life worse for citizens.
The federal government is setup to be inefficient. This is considered to be a security feature rather than a defect. I'm not talking about corruption or even blatant misspending. I'm talking about the intended structure of government organizations.
Teams tend to be very siloed from most other teams. I use to work with them as a contractor, and I was told not to engage with other teams unless they gave me a good reason for them to receive the information they were asking for. I received the same type of response when I asked other teams for information I needed to do my job.
They have an "Unless you need to know, you don't need to know" approach. Given that I was working in an organization that has a significant impact on the US and world economy, that approach isn't terrible. However, it causes a lot of inefficiencies across the business. It makes it difficult for teams to work together and causes a lot duplication of technical solutions to similar issues which causes duplicate teams across the org when one decent sized team could provide a standard solution.
They are also very slow to adopt new and more efficient technology to solve problems. This is because they need to thoroughly vet the code base of new technology for security risks. It seems like they have been more proactive about vetting new tech in the past few years, so this is improving a bit.
Trump/DOGE getting rid of USAID and stating the State Dept can handle the useful effort USAID delivered helps move in the right direction. It results in less duplication and wasted spending.
It is unfortunate people will lose their jobs, but good employees will find new jobs.
