So:
I would really like a rolling breakdown of the impacts Trump and DOGE have had on government functions, with potential and actual impacts spelled out, and ideally as impartial/unbiased as possible. Anyone have a source for something like this?
The impacts are going to be compounding and felt for decades. People do not understand the work federal employees do, and many federal employees don't even always comprehend how far the work can reach.
It might be impossible to understand the downstream compounding effects.
Maybe. It could also be a big nothingburger.
The collapse of the Soviet Union in the late 80s into the early 90s is all I think about. Now Russia is a new kind of hell.
