In his attempts to reshape the federal workforce, Donald Trump is drawing on the American tradition of treating workers’ employment as completely subject to their bosses’ whims.

The only way musk or Trump could show this to be an effective program is if they turn on congress. Start slashing house and senate salaries or force them to work more than their 2 days per week avg. Noone being paid on my hard earned tax dollars should be making $170,000 to work an average of 2 days per fucking week. Amd that doesn't even cover the cost of their fucking benefits and pension. It's fucking absurd. They want my support for this hack and slash of federal programs then start at the fucking top.
