Very thoughtful insights from someone who doesn't understand that a lack of thoughtful insight isn't the problem with our bloated and inefficient bureaucracies, and therefore fails to address those problems. You don't turn a bunch of bureaucratic lifers into tech-esque startup-minded types with teaching, you need new people and new structures to support and incentive them.
Right now, ass-covering and stasis are rewarded, the rest is not. Focusing on the results of bad behavior and not the roots will always fail.
its tough because how do you drain such a large swamp without the gators fighting back? it's a miserable situation for sure. I've been in gov work for quite awhile and agree we need to nuke the lifers out, shit wont change because they will always be incompetent

If I had those answers, I’d be doing more than opining here. As you say the scale of the problem is staggering and self-perpetuating.
