Efficiency is a ratio with quantities in the numerator and denominator. Determining those quantities would add rationality to the subject. But rationality is eliminated when pretending that destroying is a form of efficiency.

An economic definition of efficiency is, "a measurable concept that can be determined using the ratio of useful output to total input." In other words, destroying as a methodology for efficiency doesn't say what the useful output is supposed to be.

Improving efficiency is the most demanding element of producing results, because all factors must be accounted for to make improvements. For that reason, efficiency is improved in small, incremental steps over much time with complete analysis of all factors involved. Pulling the plug on expenditures is never a process that does that.

The concept of firing personnel to increase efficiency became a part of the so-called financialization scheme for some businesses. It was never a real concept, because financialization is not a real concept. It's a justification for ripping everyone off.

The "bottom line" of financialization is to increase profits; but the incompetents who promote that scheme can only succeed by destroying a company. The process of destroying a company is a method of channeling resources upward at the expense of everyone else involved including employees and the public or consumers.

There must be a pre-established set of conditions for financialization schemes, where an exploitable process allows significant degradation due to previous accomplishments. In other words, incompetents take over a company which someone else created and gut it to make a profit.

Yet the purpose of gutting the government to create efficiency does not start with exploitable accomplishments but complaints of inadequacies. Destroying something with inadequacies doesn't fit any concept of efficiency.
