The advocates of Musk's firings will say that if these people could command a higher salary, they should be in the private industry producing goods and services for the population rather than the inherently wasteful government positions.

In this particular case, the government positions were maintaining the US's nuclear arsenal. Not sure how "wasteful" having a nuclear deterrent is.
- ty6853 2y agoCould we privatize the arsenal to increase efficiency?
- johnnyanmac 2y agoIf you're not joking: what private entity would you trust to not start WW3?
- pfdietz 2y agoThe profit-making part is when we pull back from being world policeman and instead sell nuclear weapons and weapon systems. Sorry, we won't go to war for you, but how about some H-bombs, Taiwan?
- johnnyanmac 2y agoWe're really going to pull a Cuban Missle Crisis again? but x10? I guess they'll be cheered on this time.
- drawkward 2y agoGovernment work is literally goods and services for the population. This is some serious 1984 war is peace shit.
- insane_dreamer 2y agoThankfully this isn't the case or you would get the least talented people in government, making it even more ineffective and wasteful.
