No 300 year old pensionier got a paycheck. There was an audit just a few years back which didn't find big/relevant issues.

The USA Gov is not completly brain dead.

And no 'people didn't vote for this'. 1. only about 60-70% of people voted and from them around 50% voted for Trump.

The question is still valid if this should allow the current gov to overhaul the whole system that agressivly.

A gov and the people depending on it, are not tech bros who can afford to get fired.

Musk/Trump is already responsible for real death alone through the way they cut USAID: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/global-health/climate-and-people...

There is a 'okayisch' way to stop everything (its the USA choice if the most powerful and richest country is no longer able or motivated to help around the globe despite the damage a country like the USA does around the globe, think co2, resources etc.) and there is the Musk/Trump way and no this is not okay at all. Its a breach of social contract, respect etc.
