who is destroying the EPA? or is the EPA doing stupid things like forcing Elon to kidnap seals? Who isn't taking their job seriously exactly? It's hard to tell.

- stainablesteel 2y agoout of ~18000 EPA employees only 1000 might be fired for being wasted space? That doesn't seem problematic at all.
- UltraSane 2y agoYou don't think they will stop at just 1000 do you?
- stainablesteel 2y agoi think they'll stop at the appropriate amount, they've been planning this for years and speaking publicly about it for just as long. they're extremely intelligent people who have been at the but-end of all of these agencies and have learned a lot of lessons that could correct or otherwise improve the agencies rather than just destroying them through whatever cartoonishly simple lens you're imagining
