Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"The problem is that governments and businesses serve vastly different purposes. If public policymakers start mimicking business founders, they will undermine their own ability to address complex societal challenges.</p><p>For startups, the highest priority is rapid iteration, technology-driven disruption, and financial returns for investors. Their success often hinges on solving a narrowly defined problem with a single product, or within a single organization. Governments, by contrast, must tackle complex, interconnected issues like poverty, public health, and national security. Each challenge calls for collaboration across multiple sectors, and careful long-term planning. The idea of securing short-term gains in any of these areas doesn’t even make sense.</p><p>Unlike startups, governments are supposed to uphold legal mandates, ensure the provision of essential services, and enforce equal treatment under the law – more important today than ever. Metrics like market share are irrelevant, because the government has no competitors. Rather than trying to “win,” it should focus on expanding opportunities and promoting the diffusion of best practices. It must be long-term minded, while achieving nimble and flexible structures that can adapt."</p><p><a href="https://www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/government-should-not-act-like-a-startup-or-business-by-mariana-mazzucato-and-rainer-kattel-2025-04" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">project-syndicate.org/commenta</span><span class="invisible">ry/government-should-not-act-like-a-startup-or-business-by-mariana-mazzucato-and-rainer-kattel-2025-04</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Governments" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Governments</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/StartUps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StartUps</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/PublicPolicy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PublicPolicy</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/PublicAdministration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PublicAdministration</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/PublicInterest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PublicInterest</span></a></p>
Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"The first step may be to finally recognize that “running government like a business” has always been a red herring. The government is not a business — it is the thing that makes business possible. Unregulated markets frequently fail to produce good businesses so long as we define “good” as beneficial to their customers. And unregulated businesses, as we’ve recently been forced to witness, are even worse at producing good government. As the economist Mariana Mazzucato has long argued, the libertarian CEO types now running Washington are willfully ignorant of just how dependent their industries are on the backbone of public services like roads, telecoms, courts and publicly-funded research — services they have enjoyed largely for free since financial liberalization and business tax cuts have allowed them to shelter the vast majority of their profits.</p><p>Step two is much harder: articulating some positive idea of an activist government in the marketplace. For Doctorow, as for many others, this begins with “a very aggressive antitrust agenda” aimed at breaking up the monopolies that have become powerful enough to capture — and try to replace — the federal government under Trump. “You cannot have a referee who is weaker than the players on the field,” he told me.</p><p>“Anti-government nihilism cannot be countered without a defense of the government’s role in daily life.”</p><p>But there are other, more constructive roles the government could play. Doctorow suggested a federal jobs guarantee that would put a meaningful floor on the value of labor. Or a database of publicly funded, patent-free research, which would compel corporations to support interoperability — what Mazzucato has called, in the context of AI, a “decentralized innovation ecosystem that serves the public good.”"</p><p><a href="https://www.noemamag.com/the-good-society-department/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">noemamag.com/the-good-society-</span><span class="invisible">department/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USA</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/NewDeal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NewDeal</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/PublicAdministration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PublicAdministration</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/BigGovernment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BigGovernment</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/PublicPolicy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PublicPolicy</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/PublicInterest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PublicInterest</span></a></p>
Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"Protests opposing the cuts and supporting laid-off workers have started popping up, but the real hotbed of organizing has been happening online, in Signal chats, on Facebook and in the popular “FedNews” channel on Reddit, where federal workers are sharing advice, talking about their experiences and encouraging opposition.</p><p>“KEEP SHOUTING THE TRUTH, KEEP RINGING THE BELL: It’s working!” read a post last week. “I just got a mass email from my agency branch ‘reminding’ us not to talk to the media, listing several regulations that state we’re not to talk to the media. They wouldn’t have sent that if the media wasn’t getting FLOODED with federal workers reporting the truth, reporting what is REALLY going on. It’s affecting them.”</p><p>“I’ve heard so many people ask: WHY is Donald T. so hell-bent on destroying Federal workers?” read another recent post. “Because we are in his way. … Hold the line.”</p><p>The totality of the effort is quite broad. Workers are filing lawsuits, joining protests and sharing internal documents with media outlets. They’ve launched anonymous websites and social media accounts to promote their narratives. They’ve built resource guides and recorded private meetings. And they’ve resigned, sometimes in large numbers, to protest Musk and the U.S. DOGE Service."</p><p><a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/doge/federal-workers-fight-back-trump-dismantles-work-radicalized-rcna192040" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">nbcnews.com/politics/doge/fede</span><span class="invisible">ral-workers-fight-back-trump-dismantles-work-radicalized-rcna192040</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USA</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/DOGE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DOGE</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Musk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Musk</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Layoffs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Layoffs</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/PublicAdministration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PublicAdministration</span></a></p>
Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"Over the last few weeks, as Elon Musk and DOGE have infiltrated government agency after government agency, proclaiming their intent to slash budgets, cut jobs, and embrace AI, we’ve watched a brazen, extralegal effort to hollow out the state unfold in real time. Now up to 200,000 workers are being targeted in mass layoffs. Much of the collective horror has stemmed from the broader implications this campaign—orchestrated by an unelected tech billionaire who has enriched himself with government contracts—has for our democracy. It has after all been carried out with no congressional oversight and often in stark defiance of judicial orders. It’s been called a coup, or an autogolpe, a coup from inside, or American authoritarianism.</p><p>But it’s also happening to real people, who are experiencing it all in excruciating, real-time dread. For the last couple of weeks, I’ve been talking with federal tech workers about what’s happening, how they’re processing it, and how they’re pushing back. I’ve spoken to workers representing the full spectrum: From 10-year veterans to first-year tech workers in their probationary periods—and thus more vulnerable to termination—and from different departments across the government.</p><p>I wanted to share some of their stories, with their permission, because they help illuminate what’s going on at the personal level—even while we’re justifiably preoccupied with the ramifications for democracy writ large and the assault on our institutions. (I am, for the obvious reasons, keeping them all anonymous here, but have individually confirmed each of the sources.)"</p><p><a href="https://www.bloodinthemachine.com/p/the-federal-tech-workers-facing-down" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">bloodinthemachine.com/p/the-fe</span><span class="invisible">deral-tech-workers-facing-down</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USA</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Musk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Musk</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/DOGE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DOGE</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/FederalGovernment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FederalGovernment</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/PublicAdministration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PublicAdministration</span></a></p>
Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"The Trump administration’s move to fire thousands of federal employees could have a swift and severe impact on public services, staffers warned Friday, making it harder for veterans to get mental health care and hampering electric service to some rural residents as a beleaguered workforce struggles to cover for lost colleagues.</p><p>The full impact of the terminations will not be fully known for weeks or months, and some job losses may be reversed or challenged by law. At least one agency, the Department of Energy, paused some cuts to assess their effect on nuclear defense programs, according to three people who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations. Still, workers said basic functions at many agencies are slowing almost immediately and could break down as critical colleagues are shown the door.</p><p>On Friday, dozens of federal workers in interviews said they were scrambling to understand the scale of the firings, which targeted probationary employees — one- or two-year hires with fewer protections — and numbered at least 14,000, according to a Washington Post analysis. The workers, who spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of retribution, said the abrupt dismissal of their colleagues is sowing chaos both personal and professional, inspiring fear about the future of the systems serving the country."</p><p><a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/02/14/federal-employee-firings-effects-trump-doge/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">washingtonpost.com/nation/2025</span><span class="invisible">/02/14/federal-employee-firings-effects-trump-doge/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USA</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Musk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Musk</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/DOGE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DOGE</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/PublicAdministration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PublicAdministration</span></a></p>
