You can’t spend months gutting the federal workforce, treating public service like some fake email job, and then act shocked when an actual crisis hits and nobody’s left who knows how to move people, process visas, coordinate flights, or answer the phone at 3 a.m. Evacuations are not a startup pivot. They run on institutional memory and boring expertise, the exact stuff this administration mocked. I’m tired of “government should be run like a business” people learning the same lesson with other people’s lives on the line.
