More dogs in Main: What did you achieve last week?

We continue to live in interesting times. This week, Chancellor Musk ordered every 2.3 million federal employees to provide him with an e -mail that lists five things that they have achieved in the past week.

That should be submitted last Monday, so they had the weekend to think about it. Part of the weekend -the order ended on Saturday at 4 a.m. when all federal employees are expected to check their work -e emails.

Everything went smoothly for, oh, about 15 minutes before the people who walked sensitive agencies hit the brakes.

“We will not list the five bosses of organized crime that we wired,” said someone in the Ministry of Justice. “We will not list the foreign spies with which we have communicated in countries that we cannot call,” said the CIA. And “what the hell?” Almost everyone else said.

The idea was that federal employees would justify their existence and if they did not submit their list or only developed a performance – “I have designed a great exchange of motorway” – for example that these useless laypersons have resigned.

If you do not submit your homework, you will be released on site. So take it. In this way, an effective workforce can maintain motivated people who offer essential services.

The first thing I thought after the general confusion faded was that someone would read all of this if the exercise has a meaning at all. Millions of “What I” will take essays last week for someone as an efficient Elon Musk for a while for a while.

You may have to hire and train hundreds of new people to get through and analyze whether a file processor in Oklahoma had carried out sufficient registration to maintain your job.

Two million are a lot. We have difficulty counting ballot papers that formatted identically and specially developed for reading machines. What do you do with 2.3 million separate essays without uniform format or even agency?

You have to assume that nobody will ever look at one of them. Nobody takes care of what is in them. It is the disorder that counts.

I could get some of the submissions under control. They are clearly valuable documents regarding the reduction of the federal waste. Here are some examples:

Dear Elon: This week I spent a system every five days to collect all e -mail answers to your request. The system automatically sorts the answers by department and pays the grade and archives properly in a way that matches the federal laws about official communication. It took a lot of work and was somehow expensive. When I carried out a test with a small sample, he crashed the server. Scott, the IT type, was released last week. So there is no one who knows the password to reset the servers.

Dear Elon: This week I submitted a number of papers that people came to the office for some reason. I submitted it well. The people who should check and spend permits or licenses are all gone, but if someone comes back, you can find them.

Dear Elon: This week I kept an eye on a number of nuclear reactors that are still on duty despite 20 years after their original design life. Most of the things are good, but I'm not sure whether you want to invest in Cincinnati, at least not in the city's head of the city.

Dear Elon, I spent four rooms in a government car last week while I “inspected grazing conditions”. And also played Blackjack in the Reserve Casino. I lost a bunch, so I have to work on my cost report. I am pretty much that you are looking for, but since you cannot read 2.3 million of these stupid things, I will continue to do it until I retire.

Dear Elon, I spent the week to root around the airport safety gate in the dirty underwear of the people. You would not believe what people fly through the country. Dirty perverse. Not that there have been many flights since the air traffic controllers were released.

Dear Elon, I spent the week to inspect beef kada. They are all pretty similar, except that someone and then someone will try to push a lazy piece of street kill into the Hamburger. I caught most of it, except what came through the line when I was on the charging cock for a smoke.

Yes, 2.3 million of these personnel records. And Elon Musk from the Efficiency of the government's Ministry You will read and analyze to see who meets expectations. A well -oiled machine.

In the meantime, Senator Mike Lee has instructed space and proposes laws to bring the United States out of the United Nations. He claims that the 18 billion US dollars we spend there are wasted. In an article by KSL, Lee was quoted that the money “enables tyrants, betrayed allies and spread bigotry”. Well, we can't have that, Lee said without irony after she was announced by the White House that Trump was pulled out under Ukraine.
