    DOGE and the FAA

    And very much on how big the hierarchy is. A very large organization can have lots of places to "hide" the inefficient. My experience in companies is that large ones (even HalfFast's beloved Lockheed-Martin) are not terribly efficient and small ones often are because they have to be.
