Here's a quick piece I wrote up on how to understand DOGE as a very blatant attempt at procurement capture, a simple way of making government spending corrupt to benefit the tycoons. Please do pass it along & share any feedback! anildash.com/2025/01/04/DOGE-p

www.anildash.comUnderstanding DOGE as Procurement Capture - Anil DashA blog about making culture. Since 1999.

@anildash a couple things: GSA isn’t in charge of procurement per se, and “procurement process requires them to go with the lowest bidder” is inaccurate

@CrucialTK yeah I knew the lowest bidder part was reductive, and a couple of folks pointed out the GSA error. I’ll update soon! Thanks.
