Yeah, I don't think there's any way to enforce it, but I think he wanted to draw attention to how outraged they would get and then contrast it with what everybody puts up with every day. Even at a think tank where I work, When I heard this, almost simultaneously, I got an email and it said, this is time for your annual review, Victor.

Would you please list all the things that you have done for the entire year, day by day? And we do that every year. Everybody does that. And sometimes they do it by the month. Sometimes they do it by the week. But the idea that you don't have to do that. So when they got this outrage, I think it's sort of trolling them.

And I think it really helped Kash Patel because he said, well, we're not going to do it at the FBI because I protect the rank and file and they report to me. And that was kind of the criticism that that led to. You have now said that.

Yeah, I think that was good because it shows there's disagreement that Elon's got good ideas, but everybody's not following him. And these cabinet people and agency heads protect their own. And that's the kind of message they wanted. And whether he was serious in the original in the beginning, I'm not sure, but it didn't hurt him at all.

Yeah, I think what everybody's upset about is that every single day we get plants that shut down or they move offshore or they're redirected or some corporation has an economy. They're on the bottom line. It's all red. So they're cutting. This happens every day to Americans and they don't get any type of. coddling like federal employees.

But when it happens to federal employees, we're supposed to feel like this is horrible. They're doing this now with the National Park Service in Yosemite and they have an upside down flag. And I thought when I read it, that there must be thousands of layoffs, I think it was 10 people. 10 people out of, I don't know, it was 1,200 or something. 10 people were found not to be essential.

So this cycle drama that all these federal employees have, and most studies show they're making 30 to 40% more than people in the private sector, and you think the private sector would make more because they don't have job security and they take greater risk, but that's not true.
