DOGE took over USDS and changed its name, so it didn't have to create a new agency.
Given the way they're operating, I would also question their legitimacy if I was working for the government and they came to my office.
But I wouldn't resign. Better to let them fire you and then you have standing for a lawsuit (whether you win or not, that's another story; probably not, but at least you can sue).
Right. I think the real risk here is that even a “positive” outcome at 18F would have still been negative in every other context that matters to him. Why stick around and risk a neutral-to-positive experience that could result in labels like “scab,” “collaborator,” and “traitor” by no other fault of your own?
Why would anyone want to go back to an economy that can be run by a third worlders? What is our competitive advantage then?
Economics works when the people do the things they are most efficient at. If a person in China can make iPhones for cheaper than an American, LET THEM. Our citizens should be designing them instead, because that's what we train our citizens to do.
Trump and the Republicans really do think of our citizens as third worlders performing manual labor like we were oxen.
You are the one who thinks of the work as below you, that it should be moved out of sight so we can stop caring and make it someone else’s problem.
