7. No Doubt About It
Sun Nov 23, 2025, 08:35 PM
Sunday

Whatever they claimed to be saving, remove 3 zeroes.
Now, adjust that by 4 because so many of those people had to be brought back.
Now, multiply that by, say, 0 8 because of the operational inefficiencies of having people redistribute assignments and take on things they weren't working on when they got axed.
The whole thing was a boondoggle run by people with no cost analysis knowledge, no operational acumen all under the auspices of a rich investor whose companies are not particular known for the cost efficiency.
It was all BS, and the background people in the administration are waving the white flag now because there are no results to show.
