This is what chatgpt suggested to make it minimal viable agency (align with aforementioned acts): Staff: 10-50 employees, mostly in HQ Budget: ~$1-2M for core staff & admin, rest funneled through grants Field Presence: 1-3 priority countries, skeleton operations Mission Execution: Reduced to policy advising, reports, & strategic partnerships

This would keep USAID legally operational while effectively neutering it.



Fifty employees is about eight million dollars per year, fully loaded costing. ChatGPT does not know how to budget for labor.


"Minimum Legal operation" should probably be the target for many government programs.


Yes, I too go to the DMV and think 'why doesn't every government agency only have two people working with a line of 200 waiting'.


could not disagree with that
