There was no shortage of answers, ideas, and well-deserved snark when the Department of Government Effieicney (DOGE) asked the public for feedback.
The newly formed group headed by X CEO Elon Musk and former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy has given those concerned about bloated government waste and overreach new-found hope for sanity and more importantly, freedom.
DOGE is undergoing a serious analysis of wasteful and burdensome regulations, and is looking for public feedback!
Which are the really bad ones? Please DM us the CFR provision, the relevant text from the regulation, and the adverse consequences of said regulation.

Hi DOGE team,

Elon, what if I told you a New York medical center
has been engaging in a scam for decades
defrauding not only the federal gov’t — in matching funds — but also citizens relying on hospital finances that they only received 50%
& we have irrefutable proof?

Elon would probably tell you that he’s no longer surprised by that claim.
I call this one: “License to Steal” but it’s known better as the market maker exemption.

Why does the FDA have lengthy, detailed regulations on what counts as gruyere cheese?
