The shitshow is worse than you think

Read it and weep.

And this...

Last night the Trump administration’s Office of Personnel and Management sent a “buyout” offer to 2 million government employees. The email appears to have been ghost written by either Elon Musk or his young lackeys, who now occupy places of power in the federal government.

This “buy out” offer is not legal. It instructs employees to respond with “resign” in the subject line—as if that is a legally-binding document.

The compensation in the offer is not legal, either. The OPM email offers eight months of pay; the law allows only up to $25,000 for voluntary separation agreements.

There is no funding for this buyout regime. Just do some rough math with me: The government has offered 2 million workers eight months of pay. The average federal employee makes roughly $100k. If everyone took the offer that’s a $132 billion. Where has that money been appropriated from?

Don't forget the Elon tweet that said this was going to save the government a hundred billion - a number he pulled out of his ass, no math involved.

The OPM email came a few hours after Trump’s Office of Management and Budget directed the government to cease disbursement of all legally-mandated federal funding. Which is not something the executive branch can do, according to the law.

[...]

The executive is attempting to subjugate the two other branches of government.

The president knows that Congress wants to be subjugated. He hopes the judiciary will consent to subjugation, rather than risking a showdown it might lose.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
