But the Reinventing Government project was nearly the opposite of the abrupt, chaotic Musk effort, say those who ran it or watched it unfold. It was authorized by bipartisan congressional legislation, worked slowly over several years to identify inefficiencies and involved federal workers in re-envisioning their jobs.
You read the whole article?
- I think no one that downvoted actually read the article.
  To be fair, it's an unlucky title. My reaction at first, was also negative.
  I must admit, i had forgotten about Clinton's Reinventing Government project. Probably because it was a pretty boring affair for people not involved and his other not-so-boring affair kept the nation busy anyway.
  
  I think no one that downvoted actually read the article.
  well put
- I did. Did you?
  
  Buddy, I literally quoted the article. A quote that paints these actions Trump and Musk are doing in a very poor light.
  I have strong doubts of your reading comprehension.
  
  Ok, and how is anything I said showing doubts of my reading comprehension. You asked if I read it. I said I read it.
  
  Yes and comprehension is if you understand what you read.
  I'm going to assume you support these actions Trump and Musk are doing due to your whole....thing....you have going on here.
  Thus using what we call context clues, I am going to assume you don't agree with the thrust of this article. However, looking at the rest of your comment history, you're not talking about the article, or it's salient points.
  So yes, your reading comprehension is suspect. Due to, ya know, everything you're doing here.

  I posted an AP News article.

  I posted the article. Why would I post an article I wouldn't read?

  I posted an AP News article.
  
  Again, you're not talking about the content of the article. Just that you found a headline you thought was flattering and posted it here.
  
  I read and posted an AP News article. What are you going on about?
  
  Then tell me some things about the article. How's what Musk is doing different than what the Clinton administration did?
  
  If you can't read it, then that's not my problem.
  
  Ah I see you've reached the "No. You" level of argumentative debate.
  Why don't you have Grok 3 summarize the article for you and paste it as a response. It would at least contribute to the thread.
  
  Doubling down, I see. This should prove I'm not an idiot!
