      Oh they’ll be replaced, with “private” workers supplied by Musk, etc.

      The private “workers” will be AI or cheaply paid foreign workers.

      They will be incapable of doing the job, not because they are incompetent, but because they were the lowest bid and lied.

      After 2+ years of doing nothing they’ll need to be replaced by more workers. The government can’t function without them, so we’ll hire twice as many, still paying less than the average American and pocketing the remainder.

      After 4+ years, assuming the administration leaves, they’ll all be fired by the new administration and Americans will be brought in. They’ll have to do 4+ years worth of backlog plus the current job. After these 4 years they be deemed as incompetent and we’ll start the whole cycle over again.

        I honestly see this as more tree-shaking. It gives “disloyal” folks a way select themselves out, and provides a lot of empty seats to fill with “their” people.

        Combined with the Section F stuff, I think this will also have a net negative impact to the economy of the greater DC-metro area. Yanno, those people that voted against Trump in the election. It’s hard to not see all this as punitive.
