“As Trump begins to shutter government bureaus (or at least pieces of them), many are highlighting an obvious downside: government employees will lose jobs if you shut down government agencies. Some articles are calling it the biggest layoff in history, and saying it will have serious, negative economic consequences. Others hedge by saying the impact may not be felt for a long time. Of course, it is unfortunate when people lose their jobs in and of itself. However, it does not follow that every job is worth preserving.” (03/11/25)
