We see DOGE as a generational opportunity to get tech workers more involved in civic affairs. “If you believe, like I do, that tech solutions are the right answers, then a bunch of engineers is great,” said Robert Greenlee, who wrote a blog post calling for DOGE to prioritize government adoption of AI tools. “For a deregulation focus, it’s the worst lineup. You’d want lawyers who can game the process quickly.” FULL STORY: https://lnkd.in/eG2DeYsN

And the result is often just a confusing patchwork of state laws. Full newsletter ?? https://lnkd.in/eu9EaMcK

Jordan Nof shared with Business Insider "The outcome could be good for startups who have been sitting on the sidelines for the past few years hoping to go public (and their investors)."
