I hope Kash is paying attention.

This is how FAFO is done.

Thank you, President Trump and RFK Jr.

If The Guardian is unhappy, then it’s probably good for the average American.

” leaving those left to piece together the cuts and mourn the research that can’t go forward”

Ugh The Guardian, what a global joke they are. Deluded leftist children.

On HUD—yes.

Right now most workers are being offered “DRP 2.0” = Deferred Resignation Program.

Once that process is complete (next couple of weeks) the agency will be cutting staff back to half of the starting point.

That includes closing the majority of field offices and cutting HQ staff in half—probably in a month or two.

Correct. There hasn’t been layoffs at the FBI, DOJ, DOD, CIA, Labor or Agriculture. Only random firings. What’s the holdup?

Maybe reword...Maybe like...”More than usual”. CDC is a bunch of paper pushers who do trivial studies with no useful outcome.

Yup. for example, all of the HUD lead-based paint hazards pages are gone. Most likely there will be reorganizing, under HHS / CDC where they belong.

Sounds like a golden opportunity for the Brits to take over this important research.

Fire all these slackers with bad attitudes. I’ve gotten tired of the sneer from government employees when you enter their offices (if they are even there).

No guidance and no leadership:

So CDC employees are not self starters and not currently working on important stuff that they can handle without day to day task guidance?
