#1 Among them is Noah Kunin, the former infrastructure director for 18F, the high-profile office created in the General Services Administration in 2014 to boost the government’s digital services.

When he heard former FBI director James B. Comey tell Congress in June that Trump had asked him for his personal loyalty, Kunin said his red line was crossed.


Stating one's loyalty to the President of the United States was too much to ask eh? Would you mind reciting the Pledge of Allegiance? Or would that be a "red line" as well ?

#2 ..can change all that with the repeal of the Civil Service Act. Not loyal, hit the road. Works every four to eight years. Screw up and your boss might actually hold you accountable rather than take the blame.

#3 Just think of the boom in the private sector that will happen when these highly motivated and talented federal workers hit the street. Former employees of the Department of Agriculture will start massively efficient farms; former Department of Energy employees will show oilfield roughnecks how the job should really be done "move aside, Butch..."); former Department of Education employees will... well, I'm sure they'll do something. It's a shame that McDonald's has picked this time to start automating.
By popular demand, snark of the day.
