Last month, the Trump administration placed a $1 spending limit on most government-issued credit cards that federal employees use to cover travel and work expenses. The impacts are already widely felt.
At the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, scientists aren’t able to order equipment used to repair ships and radars. At the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), laboratories are experiencing delays in ordering basic supplies. At the National Park Service, employees are canceling trips to oversee crucial maintenance work. And at the Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), employees worry that mission-critical projects could be stalled. In many cases, employees are already unable to carry out the basic functions of their job.
“The longer this disruption lasts, the more the system will break,” says a USDA official who was granted anonymity because they aren’t authorized to speak to the media about the looming crisis.
Not just Musk, but I suspect he’s being puppeteered by all of his billionaire ‘allies’ to gut government so completely that it can only be sustained by the lower and middle classes, and effectively relieve the rich from taxes. They can also be gutting the nation so that when election year comes around it’s so weak he can do whatever he wants and ignore the law. And if course, gut it completely so that the enemies of democracy wage all the wars they want so they can turn the status quo for themselves.
The US as it stands is nothing but an obstacle to these rich assholes.
It’s just compete idiocy though. The government is what grants them their property rights. They’re literally engineering their own demise.
