As a former government employee of 35 years this is what I know to be true. Continually doing more with less until it isn’t possible and quality of services and infrastructure like forest roads have decreased.

I've seen a number of posts like this from reporters & I've had a bunch of ex co-workers/colleagues ask how they can tell their story. Can someone who is more knowledgeable than me make a starter pack of reporters covering the fed firings? As an easy reference for those fired, it would be helpful.

Think firing the entire federal workforce will save America money?

Federal civilian employees account for just 4% of the federal budget. Even if someone like Muskβ€”or any presidentβ€”fired all of us, it wouldn’t make much of a dent in government spending. Don’t fall for it.
