Musk's efficiency model fails, Israel needs excellence - opinion

[Jpost] In a nation known worldwide for innovation, shouldn’t our governmental systems reflect the same ingenuity that powers our most successful sectors?

The Israeli bureaucracy developed from the British model, marinated in labour socialist unionism, strikes and all. To change it would require an act of Knesset in the teeth of public sector and sympathetic private sector union strikes. Israel is in the middle of — in both senses — a blood war, and the government is already said to be teetering over the concern over Haredi parties pulling out to prevent their lifetime students being drafted into the army. While in a perfect world a considerably less congested bureaucracy is the next step, this is absolutely not the time for Bibi to spend his limited chips on revamping government instead of winning the frigging war.

But be aware, O Israeli government expert, that only Bibi, and possibly Naphtali Bennett, have the interest and ability to revamp Israel’s bureaucracy — all the rest will do whatever it takes to get the government union votes, which means absolutely not making the thing sleeker, more efficient, and more responsive.

#2 I’ve seen photos of Abba in meetings with Golda Meir when she was labour secretary in the 1950, Grom. I loved my father, but there were some things to which he was completely blind. In his entire life he worked in the private sector for a grand total of one month.
