> DOGE was such a missed opportunity. If only they could use their smarts to actually improve government efficiency.

No. A bunch of kids are not going to be able to come in and improve a system they do not understand the least. Government can be improved, but its not a 1 or 2 year program, it will need deep, proper understanding. There is no lack of "smarts", these kids have nothing to contribute. There is lack of time and mandate.

Chesterton's Fence is no joke.
