Extremely sad to see Sahil is working with DOGE in basically firing hundreds of thousands of Americans (that too disproportionately veterans) in the manner they have been doing it.
I have always liked reading his honest takes on running a company, their unique way of working with non-full-time employees, etc.
I wonder if he has posted about his work in this regard himself?
Governments are public works projects basically to keep citizens employed, which is why they disproportionately hire veterans, for example.
Running a government as lean as X would also inspire corruption amongst a myriad of other things. This is one reason government jobs are so "cushy", to disincentivize corruption. If the pitch given to Sahil was "Run the government like X" I'm even more ashamed he accepted the premise.
“I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.“
Where "wasting the labours of the people" seems in reality to mean "subsidizing rural schools so they have the same education standards as urban schools".
Of course the guy you're misquoting also had slaves, so I'm not sure if I give a shit about his predictions for American's happiness.
