Upgrades should be sustainable, incremental, gradual, and reviewed. Especially for governance systems. If there's no existential risk requiring moving fast, then it's a bad idea to move fast on these things. Governments are not companies.
Governments with almost a gigaton of nuclear weapons should not be run in "fast startup ways". Losing some VC money and reshaping the global economy or compromising nuclear safety are not the same stakes.
If the IRS has the nuclear safety codes then it’s better we find out than the Chinese.
DOGE fired a ton of Department of Energy employees who manage the nukes. This isn't just about the IRS or the Dept of Education.
Can is not should. Who are we trusting to move fast with our governance and why? Is this why?

Unacceptable.
We are trusting Donald Trumps judgement to execute on the promises he made to get elected. Nothing is perfect, and I think this whole thing is probably happening too early.
He's already broken dozens of promises. Hell, he doesn't even have a plan to replace the ACA after having neutered it like 7 years ago even though he ran on "repeal and replace". To trust him is beyond folly.
Why would I trust a serial liar with anything?
Also, just because he was duly elected it does not give him carte blanche to do whatever he wants, especially when he's running afoul of the law and firing all of the inspectors general and independent monitors.
I mean, this is literally the definition of insanity: doing the same thing you imbeciles did 8 years ago and expecting different results.
Electing a felon that notoriously managed to bankrupt several casinos and pretty much every business they've ever run is definitely not electing a smart man or even a vaguely competent businessman.
This has always been about racism and wanting to punish "other" people because you failed at life and want a handout.
LOL
