      Australian here with an outside view.
      This is America's Brexit.
      The difference is that when the Brits did Brexit it only F⋃CKED UP their economy and maybe bits of Europe *BUT* it didn't F⋃CK WITH the World's Economy.
      The US Dollar is still the World's reserve currency and if Trump does this stupid Bitcoin thing it might tank the US$ or at least cause a dip in its value. The problem is there's $100 TRILLION (YES trillion with a 'T') in Foreign Exchange Swaps (FX Swaps) mostly in US$ floating about the world as part of global trade. If that gets whacked there won't a global trade system. There wont be a BRICS system either cos it will whack those countries too.

Plus, when they returned and were interviewed about what the main topic of the meeting was, they gave very different answers. They didn't even get their stories straight for the obvious questions from reporters on return. They weren't the brightest bunch.

    Government inefficiency is a great concept for people that do not read about or understand the government. It is similar to people who run to get on school boards with promises to cut the waste in the school budget. They get there without reading or understanding the budget, then realize they cannot cut it measurably.

    Tesla's per employee might appear "less efficient" because it handles sales internally, whereas a traditional car company + dealerships would get similar numbers... other automakers are effectively outsourcing sales to the dealers and those employees are off the books as a result. Not that it matters, gov't is very different from corporate and has different responsibilities. For example, I don't want courts to be too efficient: I want them to imprison the bad guys and free/exonerate the wrongfully accused good guys, and there's not many instances where the dynamic is like that for companies. A car company will make sure each car is reliable... to a point... and just have warranties cover what falls between the cracks. No automaker wants each and every part to go through NASA validation.

  • @Cignal

    Commentators tend to over think Trump. Who he picks as advisors is meaningless. Because he isn't going to take advice. Been following him since the 80's and his actions are almost exclusively based on what he feels. Which is mostly based on what he likes or dislikes or what he believes can give him the most personal gain. This doesn't always result in success. But his history has shown that whenever he gets into trouble, his partners and associates seem to take the pipe and he just continues on. Don't know why. I'm expecting whoever he has on his team will simply follow orders but also be readily available for the chopping block at the first sign of trouble.
