There are a fair number of really dumb folks in this administration... but Lutnick may be the dumbest... so glad he's running my department...

This is the kind of thing that sounds right but when Lutnick says it I assume it’s actually very dumb? Why wouldn’t this work as he says, staffing, power outages, something else?

We already do this and have been. Our office has been backing up short staffed neighboring offices on and off the last 2 months. The funniest thing is, a bunch of people took the fork in the road, another chunk took the early retirement offer... and now they are hiring 140 new positions back lmao... it's so stupid

Oh good, you’re back for the Trump-Musk breakup. I would have preferred thethe, but I guess the incredibly lazy version is fine too.
