![Vivek Ramaswamy's thought experiment for reducing the size of government on Lex Fridman: "Day 1, anybody in the federal bureaucracy who's not elected, whose Social Security number ends in an odd number, you're out. [Day 2], of those who remain, if your Social Security starts in an even number, you're in, and if it starts with an odd number, you're out. That's a 75% reduction." "Now imagine that you could run that thought experiment at scale, but you had a metric for screening people who had the greatest competence, as well as the greatest commitment and knowledge of the Constitution. That would immediately raise not only the civic character of the United States... it would also stimulate the economy. The regulatory state is like a wet blanket on the economy." "One of the virtues of that thought experiment is you don't have a bunch of lawsuits you're dealing with about gender discrimination or racial discrimination... [And] the reality is... on Day 3, not a thing will have changed for the ordinary American, other than their government being a lot smaller and more restrained, and spending a lot less money."](https://image.24vids.com/tw-1856517841916145756/ext_tw_video_thumb/1856517021627740160/pu/img/osEtJnvZ9ayPSQrx.jpg)

🚨 LIVE NOW: How To Save San Francisco w/ SF Mayoral Candidate Mark Farrell San Francisco should be the greatest city in the world, and that’s the goal — a place where crime is illegal, NGO grifters are removed, public transportation is solvent, and the budget is balanced. Things, in other words, should just be normal. Pirate Wires recently endorsed Mark Farrell (Mark Farrell) to become the next mayor of San Francisco. Today, Mark joins us for a special pod episode to give his vision for the future of San Francisco and why he will bring the city back to its glory.
