I think you are highlighting something that they can do right away, which I think is very powerful, which is just using these distribution channels that Elon has now to create a massive layer of accountability.

their vendors until you actually have some amount of accounting to figure out, as you said, how many $600 soap dispensers are actually being bought and sold. Now, that kind of whatever you want to call that, corruption or grift, it's not going to account for hundreds of billions or trillions of dollars.

but I do think that it is a very moral and symbolic win that says we're going to start to get much more rational and it starts to allow the average American to actually feel like they have a little bit of control and they have a more vested interest in how the government spends money.

And before I talk about what Doge can do, I just want to highlight something that's been going on in California, because I think it explains a lot. In California, and I'm just going to read this stat because it's incredible. The regulatory burden in California as a state from 1997 to 2015, this is when the data is available that I found, has increased by almost 50%.

Nick, if you want to just show that chart that I sent you. What is incredible, J. Cal, is that the more people are hired by the government, lo and behold, what do you see?
