Funny seeing a post about these as that's what I was recently reminded of when reading this post:

("80+ hours per week" ... what kind of a psycho even writes this down and puts it out there as if it was normal in any way...)

Reads like a job ad for the worst startup in the world:

  super high-IQ

  +

  small-government revolutionaries

  +

  80+ hours per week

  + 

  on unglamorous cost-cutting

  (salary TDB)

The advert will perfectly select for the type of person they actually want: an obsessive crank who is already independently wealthy and posting about government waste on Twitter 24/7. I'm surprised they haven't offered catturd2 a cabinet post yet.
