My understanding of much of this firing spree of “probationary” federal workers is this:
Imagine firing every single medical doctor resident, effective tonight.
How many years do you think you can go without those docs entering the job pool before it is a problem?
We just did that for nuclear safety, air traffic control, tax audits, forestry, education administration, foreign aid, medical research, and — guess what? — some types of medical doctor.
