What exactly would be the hypocrisy?

This is something I'd like to see implemented - maybe it is internally, but you don't see it discussed much in public. I understand running a government isn't 100% analogous to running a business, but these could still be useful in a lot of cases.

Under Obama - I remember getting more people "enrolled" in a program like Obama Care, was touted as a sign of success - where I'd argue less dependency or subsidies would be a better metric.

Anyway, what are some Key Performance Indicators you would suggest for each. I've added a suggestion or two focused on how the government performs relative to its citizens.

Treasury - IRS cost per dollar collected, Cost of Treasury borrowing versus benchmarks

State - Average visa and passport processing times

Pentagon - Readiness rates for ships, aircraft and units

Justice - Backlog and time-to-disposition for immigration courts and litigation

Interior - Backlog in deferred maintenance at national parks

Agriculture - SNAP error rates

Commerce - Export growth

Labor - Share of job-training participants employed 6-12 months later

Health and Human Services - Life expectancy and preventable mortality trends, Medicare/Medicaid improper payments, FDA drug and device review times

Housing and Urban Development - Mortgage default and foreclosure rates on insured loans

Transportation - Share of bridges and roads in good condition, On-time performance for aviation and rail

Energy - Cost per unit of electricity generated

Education - Student loan default rates and repayment outcomes

Veterans Affairs - Wait times for appointments and benefits claims, Claims backlog and appeal resolution times

Homeland Security - TSA wait times

So what? I work in tech - doesn’t mean everyone should - I’m the only one of my friend group and family that does. It doesn’t mean I don’t value what they do.

That literally is the point of the thread

You call it a point, I call it a pretext. You also said in this thread that you have not changed your mind about anything in 20+ years - also declining to describe what it was you changed your mind about.

That's why I say your pretext of discussion is dishonest.

answered everything honestly

Everything you posted here beginning with your subject was dishonest.

You had zero interest in hearing what anyone had to say in regard to globalism. Your only interest was in making yourself feel superior.

All ~500k of your posts demonstrate this truth.

He either won’t answer, only partially answer, say he never said that, or accuse others of dishonesty.

Wash, rinse, repeat x 500,000

Hopefully this ends your attempt to derail my thread. This isn't about me

5 years? Probably none.

Ok - then 10. If that's not sufficient, remove the time constraint, but please frame your original opinion and what you changed it to with some context as to why.

It's not my term.

I asked for your definition and you pointed me to your post - then claim it's not my words/definition.

You probably won't take my meaning. See my prior post in regard to explaining vs understanding.
