     @pyrate @Bunsen if he's gone this far, my assumption would be that he sees the problem as much more than just the EPA and FAA.

     Right, but I'm saying these are the two particular agencies that have been nothing but speed bumps to his rapid iteration. So the guy probably has a type of vendetta.

     The only "good" silver lining of a Trump victory would be seeing Elon personally fire and/or dismiss giant portions of the FAA and EPA.

     @sickburnbro I listened to the Auron McIntyre bit where they discussed this as, I guess, Moldbug had gone over it. The TDLR is that the civil service laws are an unconstitutional usurpation of Executive powers. From Wikipedia it looks like (of all people) W. Bush made a half-hearted stab at reforms which (obviously) stopped when he left office.
     
     It's interesting as the original implementation used strict civil service exams to appoint/hire D.C. mandarins but since those have been gone for decades we basically have all the ills of the pre-1870 system but with only one side legally able to appoint their own people.

     @EvilSandmich I think "we actually ended up with the spoils system, but worse" is interesting and quite possible.

     @pinemarten less destructive is more productive, in a way.

     @sickburnbro I dont agree that government drones would be more productive elsewhere. They wont be productive anywhere.

     @NoDoxGregBrady @sickburnbro Government drones if moved to the private sector will only drag it down.

     @sickburnbro @pinemarten Removing all of the deadweight and parasites would massively increase productivity. We would fly forward with just that.
     
     Officially revoking DEI and Affirmative Action would make us look like Germany in the 1930's.

     @HonkHonkBoom @NoDoxGregBrady @pinemarten the right thing to do is what businesses used to do: have them still on staff, pay them to do something that makes sense, and let them retire.
     
     The asshole thing to do is to make their lives miserable until they quit, then let them rot in poverty

     @HonkHonkBoom @NoDoxGregBrady @pinemarten The meta right thing to do is offer the former but be willing to do the later if it becomes necessary.

     @BroDrillard which is why offering a generous severance package is golden handcuffs.
     
     It's way more generous than 99.9% of people get, so when they try to fight it, people will all line up against them.

     US gov employs millions of people. Firing most on a single day would cause major economic disruption. To maintain stability getting rid of them must be done over a period of time.
     
     Unfortunately, this'll allow them time to bring endless retarded lawsuits. (instead of looking for a productive role/job)
