21 DOGE staffers resign, saying they won't help 'dismantle' public
services
 
A group of 21 civil servants whose team was folded into Elon Musk's
Department of Government Efficiency resigned on Tuesday, writing in a
joint letter posted publicly that they refuse to use their skills to
put Americans' data at risk and "dismantle critical public services."

Wonder which jobs they consider critical?

I didn't vote for team Trump, and don't like Trump or NaziMusk at all,
but even I can see the government has got a lot of slackers on the
payroll. I know several personally, and they - my friends - don't
contribute much to society while enjoying impressive benefits.

I'm curious to see where slimming the government down gets us.  I'm
sorry about the ham-fisted way they're doing it, but I'm not totally
opposed to what's happening.

Scary thought, eh?
