Cons

The Department of Technology and Innovation let me tell you, folks, it was horrible. Just horrible. Everybody said it, and I saw it myself. They called it “innovation,” but there was no innovation. Zero. It was the opposite. They were stuck in the past, using the worst, oldest tools you’ve ever seen. Total disgrace. They didn’t want progress. They didn’t want efficiency. They wanted control, waste, and red tape. Nasty people running nasty systems. Instead of saving money, they threw it away. Billions wasted on junk. Fraud, waste, abuse—it was all there. The deep state loved it that way, believe me. But under new leadership? Things are finally changing. We’re cleaning it up. We’re cutting out the corruption. We’re getting rid of the nasty waste and the horrible abuse. Now we’re actually using real technology modern tools, the best tools. The way it should’ve been done years ago. The Department of Technology and Innovation finally might live up to its name. And that, folks, is a beautiful thing.
