This is not an DOGE problem. It’s an Elon problem. See: Twitter firing the only people who knew how to keep it running and Tesla firing the profitable supercharger team
What ever you say, chief. Is this the America you want? Even the frazzled, frayed, bullshit afterward will have higher prices, poorer healthcare, a dumber populace, and a complacent set of people who have lost hope.
We need a true revolution with meaningful reform. Sitting back and letting it ride won't be enough.
This has happened so many times it must be on purpose. Something like those who come back are likely to be more desperate than those who decide to leave and therefore less likely to get in their way.
I think you're underestimating just how stupid and impulsive Elon is. Reminder that this is a man who decided to get rid of the color yellow at the factory, simply because he doesn't like it. Anyone who's ever worked at a factory or industrial site knows that yellow is kind of everywhere as a safety color. But Musk is, again, one of the dumbest people alive and is totally okay making a massive decision that will almost immediately cause harm, solely because he wants to.
Government workers don't negotiate for salary, instead they have a set scale based on their job's pay grade, adjusted for the local cost of living. The lowest level jobs are GS1, followed by GS2, etc. Every GS1 working in the same area will receive the same salary
