    We have effectively always had an audit and accountability process for our agencies in the US, and I’d be willing to bet the same is true for you in Germany. The problem is that this is absolutely not that–it’s just raw oligarchic capture-- and the actual aforementioned historical processes are naturally slow, meticulous, complex, and not readily reported on because they provide little clickbait. If you haven’t already, I recommend you actually investigate into the internal review mechanisms that exist in your country.

      Example: So we are using taxpayers’ money to finance some alleged climate projects worldwide that cost millions without any controls. If you were to check this in China, for example, you would find empty fields or environmentally harmful companies in many other places. The whole thing is supported by politicians. Who profit from it themselves.

      Or through MS lobbying that Windows continues to be used and millions are spent on licenses. So that industrial espionage etc. also takes place via these systems.

        Are you claiming wastefulness of central planning in China is a valid example for firing people in the US or Germany

          No!
          Examples of what I mean when I talk about the basic idea. I should have made it clear directly that by the basic idea I only mean taking action against waste. In other words, real waste without all the other bullshit. So no mass redundancies or anything else. By waste I also don’t mean the education system, health system, environment, research, etc. But real waste where corrupt politicians enrich themselves.
