What's up, my lovely people! Get ready because things just got serious in the United States. The Supreme Court just dropped a bomb 💣 that opens the doors for Donald Trump to do whatever he wants with jobs in the federal government. Just like you heard!
It turns out that the man had a plan since February to give a good "trim" to the bureaucracy, and a judge had put the brakes on it. But, surprise!, the Supreme Court lifted the block last Tuesday. This means that Trump, with his executive order, has a clear path to start mass layoffs in a lot of agencies. We are talking about the State Department, the Treasury, Agriculture, Veterans Affairs... even USAID and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau are in the crosshairs! 🎯
And it's not just about cutting for the sake of cutting, no! Here comes a character who is rising like foam: Elon Musk. Yes, the same one from electric cars and rockets. The guy is in charge of something called the Government Efficiency Department, and it seems he has already started to cut left and right. This is madness! 🤯
The judges, in a quick opinion, without much detail, said that it is very likely that Trump is right in saying that as president he has the power to organize the executive branch as he pleases. Only Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, who is more liberal, said that this gives too much power to the president without any control. And she is right! Imagine, what is going to happen to all those public services if thousands of people leave?
Although the news doesn't mean that layoffs will happen immediately (because unions and local governments are on alert and will continue to fight legally), almost 260,000 federal employees have thrown in the towel, either due to layoffs, resignations, or early retirements. People who criticize this say it's chaos and that public services will suffer, but those who support Trump see it as a needed reform, a way to shrink a government that, according to them, is too big!
So, my people, stay alert because this story is just beginning. How do you think this will affect people's day-to-day lives? Things are getting interesting!$BTC $ICP $ONDO
