Key U.S. agencies, including the FBI, State Department and the Pentagon, have instructed their employees not to comply with cost-cutting chief Elon Musk’s demand that federal workers explain what they accomplished last week — or risk losing their jobs.

    America is an RV. It has wear, and items have needed maintenance or fixing. It’s a newer model than a lot of the other RVs on the road.

    The rv has two families living in it. Every few hundred miles they decide who will be driving the next leg. Whoever is driving is responsible for all of the maintenance, repair, etc

    The current driver is removing everything and leaving it in the side of the road. The bathroom, the sink, the pipes that keep the clean water separate from the sewage. They’re removing the dual tires and replacing it with a single spare tire. Over the years a lot of fixes have been put in place. Straps holding up different parts that were sagging. Pipes with flex tape wrapped around them. The driver is removing all of these fixes because he thinks they aren’t needed.

    They’re removing have disassembled the engine and thrown out the hvac, cooling, and even the alternator.

    They installed a nitrous kit to boost the engine’s power output.

    There’s a few of their friends on the side of the road point at the items they think can be taken off. They’re selling those parts and keeping the money for themselves.

    Sadly the drivers only experience with maintaining an rv is when he pretended to be one on a reality tv show. Before then he tried selling cars for a dealership his dad gave him but he wasn’t good at it and the dealership went out of business.
