I have a a few friends who are government employees wrapped up in the DOGE "chaos." And unlike what is being reported in the media, they are ecstatic...
Deep down, most (good) people want to feel like their job has meaning and purpose.
They've been spinning their wheels in bureaucracy for years, seeing:
- bosses doing nothing
- complacent colleagues enjoying no-show jobs
- merit and accountability disregarded
- promotions denied in favor of DEI
- corruption and incompetence across the board
It's a breath of fresh air to the good guys... of which, there are quite a few.
