IMO this can be neatly solved with a peer-to-peer market based system similar to Helium

(I know that helium's original IoT network mostly failed due to lack of pmf, but idk about their 5G stuff)
Network providers get paid for the bandwidth that flows over their nodes, but the protocol also allows for economically incentivizing network expansion and punishing congestion with subsidization / taxing.
You can unify everyone under the same "network", but the infrastructure providers running it are diverse and in competition.
Maybe if DEI is in your job title its not a real job.
I would think both sides of the political spectrum agree that the government spends money frivolously; so I am confused on why people are so upset. Maybe they aren't actually upset and all we are hearing in any form of media are government leeches crying about the end to their gravy train.
Apparently neither is accountant, auditor, federal employee, journalist, judge, reporter, lawmaker, lawman, weatherman, scientist, congressman, etc.
And yes, everyone agrees that there is waste on government, however, what is being labeled as waste is medicare and SNAP and foreign aid.
Why are people upset? there's 200,000 people getting laid off and its only february, of course people are upset, I very much doubt 200k employees are DEI hires.
> The layoffs include between 1,200 and 2,000 employees at the Department of Energy (DOE), including staff from the nuclear security administration and the loans office, two sources familiar with the decision told Reuters.
Let's not forget about FAA, which immediately had 2 crashes after it was gutted.
> The aviation security committee, which was mandated by Congress after the 1988 PanAm 103 bombing over Lockerbie, Scotland, will technically continue to exist but it won’t have any members to carry out the work of examining safety issues at airlines and airports. Before Tuesday, the group included representatives of all the key groups in the industry — including the airlines and major unions — as well as members of a group associated with the victims of the PanAm 103 bombing. The vast majority of the group’s recommendations were adopted over the years.

Its not our Job to aid the world. Foreign aid is a huge money laundering scam by and large. We have major problems here on our own shores.

Good. Maybe we can actually build some more nuclear plants instead of having to fight green energy bureaucracy.
>Let's not forget about FAA, which immediately had 2 crashes after it was gutted.
Circumstantial timing. The FAA has been having close calls before it was gutted. The government can do more with less. The plane crashes will stop when we return to meritocracy.
> Its not our Job to aid the world. Foreign aid is a huge money laundering scam by and large. We have major problems here on our own shores.
Not that huge, not a scam either given America is so deeply hated on most of the world, America decided to fight and kill everyone who even thought about "communism" whatever that meant, USAID is its foreign marketing team. Seems like it doesn't want to market itself. that's fine, You also quoted medicare and snap there, I hope you're not one of those that think having well fed people and farmers is not part of a governments job.
> Good. Maybe we can actually build some more nuclear plants instead of having to fight green energy bureaucracy.
If you can't build a nuclear power plant safely, maybe you shouldn't build it at all. Also some firings were people who handle the nuclear weapons.
> Circumstantial timing. The FAA has been having close calls before it was gutted. The government can do more with less. The plane crashes will stop when we return to meritocracy.
It's so great that you mention doing more with less and a meritocracy in this instance given that, the washout rate for being an air traffic controller is incredibly high and there is a deficit of air traffic controllers.
> The cuts are depleting the staff members who help ensure that taxpayers pay what they owe. As of [2017], the IRS had 9,510 auditors. That’s down a third from 2010. The last time the IRS had fewer than 10,000 revenue agents was 1953, when the economy was a seventh of its current size. And the IRS is still shrinking. Almost a third of its remaining employees will be eligible to retire in the next year, and with morale plummeting, many of them will.
> The plane crashes will stop when we return to meritocracy.
> Doesnt matter how huge, its a waste of money doing DEI programs in Burma.
That's opinion.
> plenty of safe nuke plants running and they are building more for datacenters
Yeah, and they were doing it safely.
> not really a problem of government spending unless you are saying they should pay more? not sure what youre getting at
You do, you're just ignoring it on purpose.
> Yes it can I mean afterall we had no income tax during the industrial revolution
And now you do, because it was necessary, back when it was implemented... this is just ignoring economic history.
Also, Industrial revolution!? the 1800s!? huh!?
Of course there was small government back then, the government only worked for landowners, not blacks or even women. Just white land owners. There wasn't even plumbing back then on most of america, barely any public utility, hell there wasn't even electricity, there was literally nothing to do apart from not dying of cholera.
plus the slaves/women did everything for free and if they died you just replaced them.
> this was true when we hired people based on merit and not immutable characteristics.
Pretty sure you're still hiring doctors and people with degrees, just now you have to hire a black one sometimes. what's so bad about a 1% in diversity hires?
(also trans people have mutable charactistics, ha)
let "idiots" babble and get their arguments refuted by further discourse. Sorry that i don't feel the need to have a magical truth authority tell me whats right or wrong. You don't know what a journalist is.
