So there are sort of two big aspects to this. One is the way we treat our fellow human beings in a situation of employment. For most people in the public, though, nothing they can do about that. The question is, what's the impact? Many of us are extremely worried that we now don't have enough people with enough institutional knowledge to conduct a business that we all rely on.
The development and evaluation of medical products, the inspections that keep our food safe, the success we've had in reducing deaths from tobacco, which is... still underway, all the things that the FDA does. But in addition to that, this is happening all across health and human services.

So if we take a problem like the H5N1 pandemic potential with that bird flu virus, that requires a lot of coordination between the FDA, which regulates the milk, the USDA that regulates the cows and the chickens and the CDC that regulates the farm workers who are most primarily affected. And many of the people that were working on that problem were fired.

And it was done in a way which gave them no chance to hand off their responsibilities. It's sort of like you're a basketball coach. I'm a big basketball fan, as you know, and it's March Madness. I am a blue devil, I have to say. But can you imagine that you put in a substitution and you don't have an assignment for the new guy coming in?

Well, I think there are many analogies that are all kind of similar for something like this. And maybe pothole repair is an easy example to grasp. If you decide I want to cut the city budget, the expenses, you could say we're not going to fix any potholes for the next couple of years. And right away, you don't notice anything different.

But then over time, the risk of something bad happening goes up incrementally over time, and eventually someone's going to hit a pothole and something bad is going to happen. And so, I mean, we have industries in America and globally that supply America that produce pretty good products.

And so you wouldn't see something right away for the average person, but there will be harm done by products that are deficient that didn't get inspected on time. or safety reports that go out. One place that was cut substantially was the communications part of government. Someone's got to actually notify people when there's a safety problem.
