I’m all for cutting govt waste, but not like this. We’ve all worked at places where drastic & arbitrary cuts create chaos & upend lives. The employees left have to take up the slack & live in fear their job is next. What kind of life is that? Who really benefits here? Makes our society less humane.

It’s remarkable to me how little care or concern Trump and Elon Musk are showing for the tens of thousands (maybe more?) of federal employees who they are firing. This is going to cause a lot of unnecessary pain to a lot of people. And a lot of chaos. So cruel.

I know it’s easy to get distracted w/ the daily assault of bad news. That’s the Trump strategy, to “flood the zone.” To overwhelm. But they are really bad at execution and his executive orders don’t always stick. This Ezra Klein piece is insightful. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/02/o...
