Elon carved something on the order of 2/3 Twitter's workforce fat and the platform never went dark despite an overwhelming increase in traffic load, amnesty of certain banned accounts while still censoring violent rhetoric. I think the same should be done with the Gov't bureaucracy swamp and maybe our representatives will start working for the people as they swore an oath to do so... Meh, just a thought.
Stumbled across this FDR Address at the Dedication of the New Department of Interior Building, April 16, 1936. He is quoting from a 1849 House of Representatives Committee on Agriculture report:
Quote:This Department, the Department of the Interior, was first known as the Home Department, and it was a pretty good name. It was established four score and seven years ago, and since that time its activities have been intertwined with the internal development of the Nation itself. I found a few days ago the report of the Committee of the House of Representatives which favored creation of this Department over a century ago, and it gives us an interesting picture of the times. This report said:
"The general fact remains unaffected that war and preparations for war have been practically regarded as the chief duty and end of this Government, while the arts of peace and production, whereby Nations have subsisted, civilization advanced, and happiness secured, have been esteemed unworthy of the attention, or foreign to the objects of this Government. It seems to us that this should not always continue, but that we should, as a wise people, reorganize the Government so far as to fulfill these duties also, which are suggested by the nature, aspirations and wants of our race as physical, moral and intellectual beings; that it should do something toward protecting the people against those internal enemies—ignorance, destitution and vice—as well as against those foreign foes who may invade or who it is apprehended may assail us."
