Chamath: President Trump Should Be Allowed to Right-size the Federal Government @Jason: "SCOTUS made a big decision here." "They've sided with Trump for plans for federal workforce RIFs, reductions in workforce." @chamath: "I think President Trump should have absolute leeway to decide how the people that report to him act and do their job." "There are more than 2000 federal agencies." "Employees plus contractors I think number almost 3 million people." "If you put 3 million people into 2000 agencies, and then you give them very poor and outdated technology, which unfortunately most of the government operates on, what are you gonna get?" "You're gonna get incredibly slow processes." "You're going to get a lot of checking and double checking, and you're going to ultimately just get a lot of regulations because they're trying to do what they think is the right job." "So since 1993, what have we seen? Regulations have gotten out of control." "It's like 100,000 new rules per some number of months. It's just crazy." "So eventually we all succumb to an infinite number of rules that we all end up violating and not even know it." "So if the CEO of the United States, President Trump, isn't allowed to fire people, then all of that stuff just compounds."
