Musk’s incel wreckers lay off half of the Department of Education’s work force

I’m sure Big Balls studied this issue for several hours, or at least one or two, before deciding which half the Department of Education’s work force was engaged in waste, fraud, and abuse:

The Department of Education initiated mass layoffs on Tuesday night, reducing its workforce by nearly 50%, sources told ABC News.

The “reduction in force” notices began to go out at about 6 p.m.

Some 1,315 employees were affected by the RIFs, leaving 2,183 employed by the department, according to senior officials at the DOE.

Impacted staff will be placed on administrative leave starting March 21, a statement from the Education Department said. They will receive full pay and benefits through June 9, senior officials added. . . .

“Today’s reduction in force reflects the Department of Education’s commitment to efficiency, accountability, and ensuring that resources are directed where they matter most: to students, parents, and teachers,” said Secretary of Education Linda McMahon shortly after the notifications went out on Tuesday.

“I appreciate the work of the dedicated public servants and their contributions to the Department,” she said. “This is a significant step toward restoring the greatness of the United States education system.”

She then smashed the head of a third grade Spanish teacher into the turnbuckle.

As always, Hannah Arendt’s analysis of the mid-20th century Nazis and Stalinists remains all too relevant to our own depraved era:

Totalitarianism in power invariably replaces all first-rate talents, regardless of their sympathies, with those crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty.

If these people are all eventually lined up against a wall and shot, they will have gotten no more than they deserved.
