There's a big mistake in this logic: is work really not getting done?
Because a lot of work has to be done regardless of if you have the money or time to do it. Most government work is actually not optional, there are literal laws saying it has to be done.
And that's what we, very predictably, saw with DOGE.
Like, think about it. You fire say 50% of people. What happens to the other 50%? They twiddle their thumbs?
You've worked a job before, right? And you've had coworkers fired or laid off before, right? Okay, what happens to their work?
Does it disappear into the abyss or do you then take it on? Because in all my experience, I take it on. Come on now.
