Meh. Stalin used to do this all of the time. Of course, the employees weren’t “fired”, per se...

Yeah I seem to recall in 1938 he really cut the size of the Red Army.

The 38 version of mass firings involved a lot of firing pin and barrel wear plus some one way railroad trips to Siberia for whoever was left didn’t it?

Believing in govt is essentially believing that you could hire thousands of idiots and that they would come up with intelligent solutions.

110,000 idiots do not add up to a genius. IQ is not cumulative in a group. It’s the opposite.

“We pretend to work, and they pretend to pay us!” ( common Soviet government worker response when asked what they do ).
