For our information warriors: there is no Trump mandate

The usual suspects are out there yelling "There are 23 million government workers! Fire most of them!" No awareness that most work for local governments, and most of *them* are schoolteachers. Federal employment hasn't grown since the 1950s

Day 1004 of the three day operation. Slava Ukrainii!
