Ep. 332
This YouTube transcript critiques bureaucratic spending by contrasting it with individual financial choices. It uses the example of San Francisco’s expensive custom trash cans to highlight how government entities might not prioritize cost-effectiveness. The speaker argues that individuals are more likely to maximize value when spending their own money. Conversely, when spending taxpayer money, bureaucrats may show less concern for both price and quality. The transcript concludes by questioning whether individuals would choose to spend their tax dollars on such projects.
