… because they resigned. Seriously, what’s your point?
If they wouldn’t have resigned, they would still have a job. And since they couldn’t have been fired easily, they would have continued to have a job for quite a while.
That’s not a complex concept, what’s so hard to understand about that?
No. They resigned from a job. They were not fired. And as long as they don’t break any rules, it’s hard to fire them.
That’s the thing, though. They’re not really taking risks.
Much of what DOGE does is completely illegal and does not go through the proper channels and processes. By simply doing their jobs and forcing everything through the proper processes, they can slow down everything, maybe even to a halt, while being completely in the right and thus can’t be fired.
Yes, it takes a mental toll, but these guys have a responsibility.
Yes, because you’re completely missing the point.
There is literally no risk involved for them in just staying. They had their jobs, and they could easily do the right thing by just following the law. If they were to be fired, they would still get severance of some sort. In any case, it would have slowed down Elon at least for a while.
What they did instead is resigning, thus not getting severance, not being able to slow anything down, making room for obedient bootlickers, and finally they’re now unemployed.
So tell me again: how is resigning the right move? They made the world worse, and they made their personal life worse. Literally no benefit for anyone.
Your entire argument is ex post. You see the fact that they resigned as a given and try to justify that. Why can’t you see that this is not a necessary condition?
