Jon Stewart had Ezra Klein on his podcast a few days ago and the first half is an amazing deep dive into the self-imposed bureaucratic lunacy that exists on some government initiatives (specifically the rural broadband one is looked at here in depth). If you consider each item in isolation it sounds totally reasonable, but when you lay them all out and look at the whole it is nuts. But it's the kind of stuff that would never show up in whatever AI-and-ketamine-fueled data scraping the DOGE-ers are doing.
