One of the themes of our book is how inefficient government can be, often failing to achieve its own ends, such as building affordable housing or high-speed rail.

The inefficiencies in government processes, such as the 14-stage process for funding rural broadband, demonstrate how bureaucracy can hinder progress.

The book advocates for a government that effectively organizes to create more of what people need, focusing on housing and energy as critical areas for reform.

Our book aims to channel the anger people have at the establishment towards constructive solutions in areas like housing, energy, and governance.

The failure to build high-speed rail in California exemplifies a tragic prioritization of process over speed, resulting in no progress despite significant funding authorization.

The failure of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to deliver rural broadband highlights the bureaucratic hurdles that prevent government from achieving its goals.

The idea of a Department of Government Efficiency is crucial for making government work well, especially for those who believe in the importance of government.

We need to shift our mindset to prioritize outcomes over processes in government, ensuring that when promises are made, they are fulfilled, particularly in housing and infrastructure development.

Bureaucracy often decentralizes care and emphasizes process over outcomes, leading to failures like the rural broadband initiative, which has not effectively built the necessary infrastructure despite funding.
