Maaaaaaan, that's bad, and it's gonna keep getting worse. I know part of their plan is to destroy universities, but this is already ruining the tourism sector, and soon it'll kill a *ton* of private companies.

You will not get talented people willing to consider government jobs — where traditionally there’s been greater stability to compensate for the pay cut you take — when people see entire departments are always one bad ketamine trip away from annihilation.

Civics teacher here, can confirm
1 more point on literacy: it's a disaster that the inner workings of the US government are incredibly complicated and illogical (filibuster, reconciliation, Electoral College, etc). parliaments work better bc dipshits can pick a party that sounds good and see that legibly translated into outcomes
