Even setting aside policy differences, it cannot be understated how lazy the current administration is. A "day at work" is writing sending some text messages and looking at yourself on camera for a few hours. Anyone seen doing actual work is seen as nerd who is making them look bad.

This administration would literally just rather kick them out. This is America's first "influencer" administration.
