It has taken time, but never once did it ever occur to me that he wouldn't be outted like this.
I love the discovery process discussion. One thing Norm didn't say and that I hope they ask is "how was each job description evaluated for delivery of crucial services to the American people?"
The answer can only be one thing: it wasn't. That is why this whole job cutting thing is a travesty, the stupidest way you could possibly go.
In the end, it will be way more expensive to cut back this way than to carefully evaluate and phase in staff reductions.
Or hey, how about this: people like musk just pay their share of the taxes to cover it?!!
