President Trump and OMB Director Russell Vought label the government shutdown a chance to slash federal bureaucracy. Vought halts $11B+ in Army Corps projects in NYC, SF, Boston, and Baltimore, blaming the “Democrat shutdown” for disruption. Over $18B in NYC infrastructure and $8B in climate projects paused; layoffs could exceed 10,000. A judge blocks some job cuts.

Wouldn’t it be great, #Musk offered, if he had #access to the #computers of the #FederalGovernment?
Just give him the passwords, he said jocularly, & he would make the govt fit & trim.
What started as musings at a dinner party evolved into a #radical takeover of the #FederalBureaucracy. It was driven with a frenetic focus by Musk, who channeled his #libertarian impulses & resentment of #regulatory #oversight of his vast #business holdings into a singular position of #influence.

…#Musk held forth on the patio on a variety of topics: his visit to the US–Mexico border; the war in Ukraine; his frustrations w/govt #regulations hindering his rocket company, #SpaceX; & Ramaswamy’s highest priority, the dismantling of the #FederalBureaucracy.
Musk made clear that he saw the gutting of that bureaucracy as primarily a #technology challenge. He told the party of around 20 that when he overhauled Twitter,…the key was gaining access to the…servers.

#WhoKnew there were areas of the #USA where you could #ownProperty and even #HaveACabin or #HaveAHome but be #Landlocked out of it later by #BLM or other #governmentagencies?
#ProtectingTheEnvironment and #salmonFisheries/#SalmonSpawningAreas is very important,and clearly a lot of work and some money would be required to either #RestoreTheTrail they used to use or #ClearANewTrail, but these folks need to be able to #accessProperty they own and used to be able to use. The #FederalBureaucracy effectively using #EminentDomain doesn't seem fair in these cases.
