Gas, electricity, steel, wood, medicines, so many different foods, untold production products. Everyone will feel the increase due to Trump's tariffs.

If it were legal to fire you, they wouldn't put so much effort into getting you to resign voluntarily.

There's very little about this that I could say I'm sure how it's going to play out. But having talked to a lot of govt lawyers and others the one thing that's pretty clear is that there's basically zero way you'll ever get paid if you do that reply/resign thing. Certainly not past March.

Ask yourself what you’d think about another country if a new regime quickly prohibited all government agencies from communicating with the public, then began deleting data from government websites that it deemed unacceptable.
