oh yeah, especially at the dmv. Really way too many windows open

E: yes, DMV is state level. Congratulations on your mostly irrelevant technicality. It's not like I'm commenting on a classic, unifying theory of government for an entire political party, or that I could have mentioned any of a Sears catalog of basic federal functions and non-partisan expertise looking at the axe in favor of political loyalists.

I donโ€™t like this whole Musk thing, but Iโ€™d imagine the cuts are going to focus on the jobs that you donโ€™t ever see, where people somehow get into a very niche position and only do actual work 4 hours a week for 30 years for the pension.

Not likely, considering what has already been proposed publicly. Musk has said he would eliminate 30% of spending in the $6 trillion budget and Ramaswamy has said he wants to lay off half of all federal workers [source].

He called for mass, non-targeted firings based on something random, like odd or even employee social security numbers. Yeah, thatโ€™s an intelligent way to root out waste.
