    collecting big paychecks, and doing nothing

    Citation needed. My understanding is that Trump cut air traffic control just before a high profile crash that was likely due to fatigue by air traffic control. I’m not sure if it’s causitive, I’m just worried that some of those cuts we won’t know the impact of for months or even years, but the impacts could be big.

    These cuts seem to be largely for show instead of actually solving scope creep, which would require an act of Congress. I highly doubt those cuts were people sitting on their hands, they were likely people who disagreed ideologically with him. Ideology doesn’t have a place in the executive branch, which is supposed to merely enforce and follow the law.

    And Trump didn’t either during his first term, nor did Obama or Bush during their terms. Each successive president made the problem worse, and Trump could very well make it worse in the other direction. They’re making cuts to things I doubt they fully understand.

    That said, I agree it’s hilarious watching the chaos. I can’t do much about it anyway, so I guess I’ll get the popcorn out.

    Hopefully we’ll collectively realize how dumb we are and elect someone competent next time.
