Talking about that, do not forget that Doge has fired people working to prevent avian influenza and protect the US nuclear arsenal. (The problem with throwing one saw The surrounding is that you do not make a clean cut.) The mentioned agencies have tried to hire those workers to return. Strong. But even if they can, the long -term question has not been answered: Who will stay? Who will work according to the regime Cocksure and incompetent enough That it will shoot a few people who really know how to take care of nuclear weapons? According to a recent report From Bulwark, that brain bleeding has been conducted.
And this is all before starting to reduce the real force, it seems that the civil servants will soon be conducted DOGE modification software, automatic. The US government is about to lose decades of institutional knowledge through people who know how many agencies, including experts, are not easy to replace by loyal people.
Elon Musk, at least admitted that Doge would make mistakes and promise fast corrections. He even called a specific part on Wednesday, the cancellation of a USAID program was designed to prevent Ebola's spread. We restored Ebola immediately, he said in the appearance at Trump's first cabinet meeting. And there is no interruption.
This is non -caseAs the Washington Post reports for the first time. Not only preventing Ebola not recovered, it was and still seriously reduced, but the Trump administration also said that on Wednesday they would terminate nearly 10,000 contracts and sponsor USAID and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Many of these contracts represent an effort to reduce some forms of suffering in part in the world. It was too many personal stories to tell, so many tragedies opened too far.
What is worse than you think is the way your brain breaks a bit when you try to imagine how deep the ocean. It is worse than you think because at the time the courts catch up, the damage has been done. The worse than you think is because the government operators do not seem to have a higher task to see it burns.
The federal agencies can be more effective, but we have overcome the time when the effect is a reasonable goal. Doge's cuts have no clear concern for civil society or opportunities or long -term strategic thinking costs. Their goal is the goals of Elon Musk and Project 2025. They did not find cheating, just democracy at work. They are clearly eager to see what happens when it is no more.
It is worse than you think because so far all DOGE has done is to drop a rock in the middle of a pond. If you think this is ugly, wait for ripples.
