You may think firing federal employees is a DC problem but the person who delivers your mail is a federal employee. 85% of federal employees live outside the DC metro. In many places, they are around 10% or more of the local workforce. #giftlink

Disturbing prediction from @pkrugman.bsky.social: If Trump's deportations really happen, inflation will spike, then MAGA loyalists will corrupt government info to mask it.
