The Actual Math Behind #DOGE’s Cuts
If you thought #ElonMusk was really trying to cut costs, you weren’t in on the joke.
#Musk initially promised that he would eliminate $2 trillion of the $7 trillion federal budget, before scaling back his ambitions to $1 trillion, and then $150 billion. Even that revised target is highly improbable.
Cost reductions from #layoffs of federal employees have been too small to show up in the data.

"Reporter: The ports here in the U.S., the traffic has really slowed and now thousands of dock workers and truck drivers are worried about their jobs.

Trump:🚨That means we lose less money."
-Acyn

The #WARN Act requires many #employers to provide at least 60 days’ notice before implementing large-scale #layoffs or plant closures. This typically applies when a #business has at least 100 full-time #employees & lays off 50 or more employees at a single site.

Although #Volvo’s planned reduction appears close to this threshold, whether WARN obligations were triggered depends on the specific circumstances, including the timing & aggregation of the layoffs.

The #Trump admin has suspended an #AirQuality monitoring program at #NationalParks across the country, acc/to an internal email obtained by WaPo & 2 people…..

The #Interior Dept, which includes the #NationalParkService, issued stop-work orders last week to the 2 contractors running the program, the email shows. The move adds to the chaos & uncertainty at many national parks that are already reeling from widespread #layoffs ahead of the busy summer season.

"US Border Towns💔Are Being Ravaged by Canada’s Furious Boycott
Economically dependent on their northern neighbor.

Economically dependent on their northern neighbor, business owners in Washington state are🚨laying off employees & shutting their doors."

Since Trump said he wanted to make Canada a US state with “economic force,” Canadians have boycotted the US.
