If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company.
It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create.
They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms.
I’m happy to invest and/or help

Missouri adopted a statewide measure earlier this year that forces Kansas City, and only Kansas City, to spend a large chunk of its budget on policing.
“That takes money away from infrastructure investments, that takes money away from just basic services,” says one local critic.
