> Most of these federal jobs either marginally improve millions of lives or are completely critical for 10k Americans.

Firstly, are you basing this assertion on any sort of reality, or are you just 'sus' about it?

Secondly, marginal improvements for millions of people in many different areas is nothing to scoff at - that is precisely what a government is supposed to do - and will add up to very significant improvements very quickly.

I don't think that they're saying that doing marginal improvements for millions of people is anything to scoff at, I that they are saying that it's a lot more difficult to directly quantify.
