I see the problem this way. There are a bunch of folk who are convinced they're the only ones capable of doing a job correctly. Convinced they are essential. I've been prone to that thinking myself a few times in my younger years. Experience has taught me otherwise. A very wise man once told me this and he was absolutely spot on. "If you think you're irreplaceable, fill a 5 gallon bucket with water and stick your hands in it. Remove your hands quickly and see how long it takes to fill that void." He was absolutely 100% correct. There are an exceptionally small number of jobs that cannot be filled just that quickly.
But that government teat is hard to come off of. It's big money with little oversite on when, where, who and what it's spent on. Everyone who's on it will cry like an infant when pulled off it. But mommas tits are sore and she needs a break.
I hope Musk puts a blade on that chainsaw and gets to work. I hope Trump releases the Epstein and Diddy lists. Burn it to the ground.
