People talk about Paschal Donohue like he's some budget balancing guru, but if I handed in my Leaving Cert Accounting exam and had forgotten to fill in the column where you're supposed to house 15,000 people I'd be failed on the spot.
In minding its pennies, the state prioritises beancounting over the value of those services to society.
One criminal bar solicitor ruefully told me that it’s more a vocation now to work defending clients.
Consultants are just throwing their hats at the job
What is the price of savings?

This is why I talk about sheriffs a lot when it to comes to immigration: they decide (in most states) on whether to hold people for ICE at all!
ICE abducted Leticia Jacobo and tried to deport her, she is Native American.
Polk County Sheriff’s Office, which held her for ICE, admitted that it was a ‘clerical error’.
Her family fought through layers of bureaucracy to stop her from being disappeared.

These small, seemingly insignificant jobs that feel like "anyone" could do them are often where people first get to cut their teeth in a field where it's hard to get anything resembling a handhold
I see the same argument being used against people being replaced by AI "actors" for short internal videos in companies.
Meanwhile that represents pay for the actor, and the crew, and the small time producer just evaporated into the nether.
Modest work is still work.
