You ever think about how the Roman Senate kept meeting centuries into the reigns of emperors. Hanging out, shooting the shit, giving speeches, and play-acting that their positions of privilege remained positions of power.

The federal workers I've spoken with emphasize it isn't just their substantive work that's suffering - basic organizational functions like payroll and IT are breaking down. This comment from a recent NYT article haunts me. "It was only when he left that we truly realized his value..."
I’ve spent over 30 years managing large government operations. One lesson I carry with me comes from the retirement years ago of an employee most would have considered “obscure.” He was a quiet man — arriving each morning with his sandwich, working steadily, and leaving without much fanfare. To many, he seemed part of the furniture.

It was only when he left that we truly realized his value. Over the years, he had accumulated deep, almost invisible knowledge. He had taken on countless menial but essential tasks simply because he had the experience to do them well. He was, in many ways, the oil in the machine.

His departure forced us to scramble. We suddenly saw how many small, critical pieces he had been holding together — pieces no job description had captured, and no system had tracked.

Since then, I’ve often thought of him when I see organizations subjected to blind cuts. The true cost of such decisions is rarely visible on a balance sheet: it’s in the loss of quiet expertise, institutional memory, and the small acts of continuity that keep complex systems running.

I've been banging this drum for years now, I know, but Zohran's Big Night is a clear illustration of the power of giving people a vision of the future that boldly contradicts the rhetoric of Republican fearmongers. Not just "disagrees on policies," but actively paints a different image of the world.

If you're going to get that upset from Canadians booing your song, maybe don't threaten to invade us multiple times
