It sounds really bad to me. The implication behind efficiency is that if it’s inefficient then it can be stopped. It’s a question of control / funding. (Auditing for efficiency is already a thing in societies, DOGE is not that.)
It’s like a government within a government. A super institution that sits above the others and decides budgets and policy.
This super institution would need expertise in all things related to self governance. When this super institution audits education how will it know what is efficient unless it has that domain specific knowledge? And then economics, and then engineering, and then social planning, and so on.
I think governmental efficiency stems from a society that values efficiency. Creating a super institution to rule them all is something else.
I mean in terms of government in a sane world efficiency wouldn’t mean cutting things just because they don’t turn a profit but instead just means trying to improve the efficiency with which the government handles citizens issues
I don’t even deny the negative aspects, which is why I directly emphasized that the whole thing would be directly abused. In other words, that something like this should not be allowed.
I’m really only talking about the basic idea and if the whole thing were really to be used against corrupt politicians etc. The thing about the super institution etc. and this extreme fool’s freedom is of course wrong. As I said, I also think the way the whole thing is implemented is wrong.

Yea, efficiency would be figuring out the chain of paperwork to get ____ done and simplifying it to 1 paper… and repeat 10000000 times
