@realpodsaveamerica: Lovett: Either by ignorance or ideology, they don't care what the rule is... they just eliminate it. Jon and Michael Lewis break down DOGE's Chesterton's fence problem: know why a rule exists before you tear it down. #podsaveamerica

Now, have you heard about Chestersons Window? (it combines Chestertons Fence and the Overton Window. Re: Belle of the Ranch)

Ignorance IS their ideology.

Some of the old rules are the result of some very expensive and expansive corruption, so they can't just be changed, because reasons.

I don't think any department of the executive branch should be able to just "come in" and end things. They can propose to either the Judiciary to rule something is unlawful (and then their executive order MUST immediately provide a holdover until whatever is replacing it is enacted) or to the Legislature to make a new outline that ends something AND replaces it immediately. The executive branch executes the will of the legislature, it can enforce, it should not have the sole power to de-enforce something (IE, DOGE should have never existed, that should have been something proposed by the president and/or cabinet to the Legislature to enact it, or to the Judiciary to rule on its necessity). I can't believe founders so desperate to get out from rule under a king so badly defined the parameters within which the executive branch/President can operate.

This is one of the foundational lessons you learn in MPA or MPS programs before a career in public service. Part of finding out about the communities you’re serving and how to engage them

I was in operations/project management for many years. To manage a project, sometimes you have to bend the rules. So it’s important to know why each rule exists in order to determine if and when it’s appropriate to break them. “Move fast, break things, worry later” is anathema to me.

Their whole mission is 'go fast and break things'. They don't care what it's for.

It wasn’t anti-doge or anything so banal. There was an argument for tradition. It was saying, do not overthrow this traditional thing that we have always done in favor of your new idea unless you understand why we have always done it this way.

The other reason is to bust criminals for tax evasion. That’s how they got Capone.

“Go fast, break things” sounds cute but it’s a stupid way to govern a country.
