Assuming you're at liberty to comment, do you wish more companies adapted Elon's "show your work from the last 2 weeks or get fired" approach to managing engineers?

Why is it so rare to see politicians running on the promise of eliminating government inefficiency? Closest we've got was Trump promising to "drain the swamp" but I doubt anyone took it to mean "I'll get the Department of State to issue passport in 72 hours instead of 6 weeks". I've heard numerous complaints about the California DMV but haven't heard of a major politician running on a promise to reduce the wait times there.

What do the Japanese think/write internally about being the nation with the highest median age in the world? Are there any drastic fertility-improvement proposals in the works, such as paying a $1m bounty to families with 6+ kids?

How many years are we still away from being able to make (nearly) instant payments between developed countries with fees under 0.1%? (including hidden exchange rate fees)

This is currently possible in the Eurozone but AFAIK not possible between any other countries.
