The Trump administration’s purge of federal workers may ultimately amount to the biggest job cut in U.S. history, which is likely to have ramifications for the economy, especially at the local level, according to economists.
How the Trump and DOGE terminations — perhaps the biggest job cuts in history — may affect the economy
While the precise scale of the job cuts is as yet unclear, evidence suggests it’s at least in the tens of thousands so far, economists said.

The USA had previously not suffered a major plane crash for 16 years.
‘DEI’ programs have existed for decades.
So what was it that changed in the last 14 days or so to suddenly cause so many crashes?

Donold is blaming a plane crash that killed 67 people on “DEI” with zero evidence.
He is attempting to use racism to deflect from the fact it is HIS fault. He had just removed 100 FAA senior officials.
It’s been 11 days and there are 67 bodies in the Potomac in Washington DC because of him.
