DOGE at the state, county and municipal level

“As above, so below”

There are many more swamps to drain than the huge one in Washington DC. Every state, county and municipal government agency has one. These agencies are riddled with inefficient work processes and entrenched slackers. People interact with these bureaucracies far more often than the federal ones.

So why not apply DOGE principles to these bureaucracies? It is fitting and proper to do so.

For example every day normal Americans go to the DMV and Post Office and come away feeling like victims. Routinely there is a line at a post office with ten people in it being waited on by one employee. Yet you can hear several employees hiding in the back scurrying around and doing everything they can to avoid having to interact with customers. They get away with it because they face no disciplinary actions. They get their lavish pay, benefits and retirement regardless of how much (or little) they do in a day. And the DMV is even worse. The three-toed sloths that work there are known to be the slowest living organisms on the planet. Hell Disney has even made an animated movie about it called Zootopia. Even a rock on the ground moves faster than they do. And their utter contempt for providing even the minimum amount of customer service is apparent every time anyone has to deal with them.

The dmv folks and the post office are the ones we see most often. There are many more state, county and municipal bureaucrats that have fewer customer interactions and are more adept at doing little or nothing. Try getting a building permit for example. It is obvious they will get to you at their convenience and not a moment sooner. They look upon you with contempt for interrupting their day. Call them up and it always goes to voice mail. Leave a message and you might hear back from them two weeks later, if they call you back at all.

Identify and eliminate the inefficient, ineffective work processes. Make sure all employees are held accountable to high standards of customer care.
