Proof that just because you are good at memes, tweeting and self promotion, doesn't necessarily mean that you are good are pretty much anything else.

> “Of all the things you could do to affect the government, it would have been better to go after regulation. It would have been better to go after entitlements. Just blowing up jobs was a good way to make enemies, a good way to cause more disruption than progress.”

This is deliberate obfuscation: you cannot go after the regulation and entitlements if a lot of people already have jobs dependent on them, since they will intensively campaign to prevent change, and that is the root of the problem.

This entire piece is proof that Doge is actually working, since otherwise it would be a complete nothingburger.
