Reminds me of a contest at college where they wanted to rename the "Great Hall" into something more interesting. Someone submitted "Nixon's Tomb" - which I thought was wonderful. I was actually on the committee that would decide the name - and spoke forcefully in favor of the name change - but by the time I got done speaking, even I was convinced it wasn't such a great idea since Nixon seemed to take things personal and while it would have made the national news - not the news that would result in good tidings.

A very smart man once said, If t'were done, it is well it t'were done quickly.
In politics, when you've got Big MO, you gitter done. The longer something rattles around in the box, the more opposition you'll tend to have.
In the case of cuts, corporate or government, you cut fast and hard. Sometimes, you have to adjust the cuts later, but that's usually easier than the paralysis of analysis.

And yet we can still afford a new study regarding the link between fucking autism and vaccines.

What is the point of this? Can anybody think of a rationale? Other than buying off RFK, obviously.

Keep up! They have been rehired since what Trump did was not legal. Now they're getting paid to play golf! (or whatever they do on paid leave)
25,000 employees... costing us $8 million per day. So much winning!
