[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The FAR is a huge pain for both the government and contractors, and complying drives acquisition costs and schedules.  It does serve to make a level playing field among bidders, and very few Federal contract selections are overturned after the fact.  My guess is that, once again, [b]the Administration will take a decent idea (streamlining acquisitions) and screw it up by moving too fast[/b].  Coincidentally the main beneficiaries will somehow turn out to be Trump campaign donors.  Just a hunch.[/quote]

Elon Musk has no idea how the government works, or why.  He just thinks it's bad.  Trump has no more ideas about anything anymore.

There are good ideas but implementing them is difficult, do this administration is just taking the easy path of canceling everything, firing everyone, (pardoning all of the J6ers rather than examining each case), etc.

Will they do this the right way? We can hope, but they haven't done anything else the right way, yet, so it's hard to hope that this time will be different.[/quote]

This. The FAR super sucks. But writing it to basically say “anything Elon likes gets a first right if refusal” isn’t a great fix.

And anything done in a great hurry and outside the established process is also rarely done well. [/quote]
