It is funny how the department of efficiency is adopting the toxic corporate culture demanding ridiculously long work hours. I get that it is a tool of social control and a way of making people feel important but from an efficiency point of view it is absolutely bonkers, nobody is going to perform efficiently after 12 hours of work.

My humble prediction is that doge Elon's main contribution to the federal government will be forcing a bunch of private sector inefficiencies on it.

12 hours work my ass lol, its a 100% going to be a remote idle job with a very high chance of being complete AI slop.

I barely work efficiently on 6-8 hr shifts lol, I take “shits” (I don’t actually shit, I just watch TikTok and peruse Lennygrad) and water breaks like every hour, if I worked a 12 hr shift I’d realistically be working like 10 1/2 hrs and dicking around for an hour and taking a 30 min break

You gotta bump those numbers way up comrade.

I'm wondering how much damage they can actually do, without it getting bogged down in federal judge blocking and legal battles and such.

That's the funny side. These Muppets don't seem to get that you can't have neoliberal deregulation without a robust state. You know that if a left wing party ever gained power the bureaucracy would resist every step of the way. It'll be no different when that same bureaucracy eats and sees itself being eaten. The hidden-power-level zealots might be keen. Until someone lays them off under the same programme. Chaos under the heavens.
