Not disagreeing with you. But the OPM site data seems to be only for headcount, and it probably can be found by those who know how to deep dive on government sites?
Having said that, I am very much worried about the direction the US is heading. I came to the US for college and eventually end up being a permanent resident. My home country, Myanmar (Burma), has been ruled by military dictatorship for decades, and I see a lot of parallels in terms of disregard for rule of law; cult of personality; silencing free speech and journalists/reporting agencies that disagree with your point of view; etc. Add musk's chaotic way of meddling with the (albeit inefficient) government machine, not looking good at all.
- ipython 2y agoI googled "How many people work for the federal government?" and landed here: https://usafacts.org/articles/how-many-people-work-for-the-federal-government/ https://usafacts.org/articles/how-many-people-work-for-the-f..., which pulls the data from the same OPM data sources. I will admit, this administration is great at flooding the zone and making big splashes over trivial tasks. It's kind of like removing the muffler from your Civic, it'll sound like a sports car but it's still a Civic.
