  2. Yeah I'm Australian and found it ironic that a group of Germans are talking about the terrible consequences of electing a destructive clown show. Maybe it would have added gravitas if they'd said something like "As Germans we know what can happen when this sort of thing goes too far!"

  3. Australian engineer - the problem is that most people have NO IDEA what efficiency means. For engineers its simple we have equations and data and can make calculations. However there's also the issue of effectiveness. You can have the most efficient engineered system in almost any field but if it doesn't work or costs too then its NOT effective and that's a problem. For things like government efficiency its the same as any other office in industry. Its totally subjective and what 1 person sees as efficiency another sees as waste and a lot of people in between have no idea or just don't care. The only real measure is effectiveness and it is possible to put some comparative numbers to that. For an organisation like USAID their effectiveness could be measured by: - What's the GDP growth if you're an economist? - What's the growth in wages and/or wealth for various segments of the population? - What's the number of people finishing school compared to previous generations? - What's the percentage of the population LEAVING a particular country or region compared to other nations?

  4. You are right this is NOT a coup. That's just the media and other clowns wasting peoples time. HOWEVER you are totally wrong that more than 1/2 the US population voted for Trump. Only 77 million Americans out of 336 million voted for Trump that's less than 1/4 of the population (~22%). PLUS 75 million voted against Trump. What the Dum-o-crats and all the other whiners need to realise is that 81 million people voted for Biden in 2020. That means around 6 million people just didn't bother to turn up like they did in 2020. Meanwhile Trump's vote went UP by just over 3 million. You're right this is NOT a coup. Its the complete failure of mainstream politics to be effective and make people's lives better.
