Cleaning up my inbox, found this:
The USCG does not want to serve the public: mariners, employers, and the industry. It just wants to create stumbling blocks to delay, obstruct, and frustrate mariners, employers, and the industry. The USCG clearly does not want to do mariner licensing, or vessel inspections.
Those tasks need to be given to some other Federal agency that wants to do the job, or be outsourced to a maritime organization like ABS.
Perhaps someone like Elon Musk, who has Trump’s ear, will prompt the creation of AI powered new systems to streamline Federal functions and reduce the size of the Federal workforce.
Society would be better served if the lowest performing 25% of Federal employees returned to their former jobs at McDonald’s, Walmart, etc.
The one Government service that most people want more than and other is for Government to simply get out of their way.
