Chief Shultz looks genuinely confused here. Might as well help him out with what’s going on: “A public official is there to serve the public and not to run them.” “Find out in advance what the public will stand for; if it is right and they won't stand for it, postpone action and educate them.”

Pinchot Principles
A public official is there to serve the public and not to run them.
Public support of acts affecting public rights is absolutely required.
It is more trouble to consult the public than to ignore them, but that is what you are hired for.
Find out in advance what the public will stand for; if it is right and they won't stand for it, postpone action and educate them.
Use the press first, last and all the time if you want to reach the public.
Get rid of the attitude of personal arrogance or pride of attainment of superior knowledge.
Don't try any sly or foxy politics because a forester is not a politician.
Learn tact simply by being honest and sincere, and by learning to recognize the point of view of the other man and meet him with arguments he will understand.
Don't be afraid to give credit to someone else even when it belongs to you; not to do so is the sure mark of a weak man, but to do so is the hardest lesson to learn; encourage others to do things; you may accomplish many things through others that you can't get done on your single initiative.
Dont be a knocker; use persuasion rather than force, when possible; plenty of knockers are to be had; your job is to promote unity.
Don't make enemies unnecessarily and for trivial reasons; if you are any good you will make plenty of them on matters of straight honesty and public policy, and you need all the support you can get.

The funniest thing about Hegseth’s maniacal misguided focus on military fitness is how every time he works out with the troops, it demonstrates he’s actually bad at it.

Completely agree! The 10 year avg includes data over a period where application numbers, awards and budget were substantially lower, not to mention data from 2025 which was an outlier (see figure) due largely to the Vought/Bhattacharya multiyear funding policy. 🧵

This was a Project 2025 goal, right? Something like this? static.heritage.org/project2025/...

The Centrality of Performance Appraisal. In the meantime, the OPM must manage the workforce it has. Before they can reward or discipline federal employees, managers must first identify who their top performers are and who is performing less than adequately. In fact, as Ludwig von Mises proved in his classic Bureaucracy,' unlike the profit-and-loss evaluation tool used in the private sector, government performance measurement depends totally on a functioning appraisal system. If they cannot be identified in the first place within a functioning appraisal system, it is impossible to reward good performance or correct poor performance. The problem is that the collegial atmosphere of a bureaucracy in a multifaceted appraisal system that is open to appeals makes this a very challenging ideal to implement successfully.
The GAO reported more recently that overly high and widely spread performance ratings were again plaguing the government, with more than 99 percent of employees rated fully successful or above by their managers, a mere 0.3 percent rated as minimally successful, and 0.1 percent actually rated unacceptable.' Why?
It is human nature that no one appreciates being told that he or she is less than outstanding in every way. Informing subordinates in a closely knit bureaucracy that they are not performing well is difficult. Rating compatriots is even considered rude and unprofessional. Moreover, managers can be and often are accused of racial or sexual discrimination for a poor rating, and this discourages honesty.
In 2018, President Trump issued Executive Order 13839 requiring agencies to reduce the time for employees to improve performance before corrective action could be taken; to initiate disciplinary actions against poorly performing employees more expeditiously; to reiterate that agencies are obligated to make employees improve; to reduce the time for employees to respond to allegations of poor performance; to mandate that agencies remind supervisors of expir…
