2025 will end with biggest decrease in federal workforce in decades, 300K fewer. Breitbart:
Quote:

In what is being called the largest single-year cut in civilian federal employment since World War II, 2025 will end with 300,000 fewer workers employed by the United States government.

New Office of Personnel Management (OPM) Director Scott Kupor told several news outlets, most recently the New York Times, that the federal workforce will drop from 2.4 million to 2.1 million employees, largely as the result of the Department of Government Efficiency's (DOGE) efforts.

In a lengthy interview this week with Washington, DC, station WTOP, Kupor said that up to 80 percent of the reductions come from federal workers choosing to access buyouts or another program that paid them while they looked for other work.

All those workers who didn't take the deal Trump offered at the beginning of his term are kicking themselves right now.

If they averaged $100,000 per year in compensation, that's a 30 billion dollar a year savings. Add that to the cut in programatic funding, and you're starting to talk about some real money.

It was smart to move Musk out and let DOGE continue its work without all the media attention and politicization. They need to keep it going full throttle 24/7/365 until 2028. Hopefully, the next president will be a Republican and keep it going for another 4-8 years. Given the extent of the problem, it will probably take that long to identify all the WFA and run the perpetrators off.

300,000 I call that a good start.

Yeah. They are going to find this is actually the parable of the vineyard workers in reverse. He offered a very generous severance for vineyard bureaucrats to leave on the first and second pass but after the voluntary attrition is over, a lot more are going to be cut with minimal notice and minimum legal severance (and of course a chorus of leftist federal judges will issue TROs but we know how it ends).

Beautiful piece from Thomas Lifson about "Five Eyes" dimming.
Quote:

But, to the shock of many, the Trump administration is cutting them out of key areas of interest. Politico's European edition reports:
Quote:

U.S. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard is blocking America's closest intelligence allies from receiving updates on Russia-Ukraine peace talks in a shock move that upends decades of tight cooperation.
That effectively cuts America's Five Eyes partners the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and New Zealand out of the loop, stunning the intelligence community that has relied on the network since the end of World War II.

In a July 20 directive signed by Gabbard, reported by CBS, the U.S. intelligence community was given orders to classify all analysis and information related to the Russia-Ukraine peace negotiations as "NOFORN," or no foreign dissemination, meaning the information cannot be shared with any other country or foreign nationals.

There is no love lost between President Trump and the collective Deep State of the Anglosphere.
In concert with Deep State operatives embedded in the US intel community, spooks from half of the other four members collaborated in trying to bring down President Trump's first campaign and then successfully hobble his first term in office.

Remember Trump campaign aide young George Papadopoulos being set up -- to provide an excuse for electronic surveillance of the Trump campaign in a night of "heavy drinking" in a posh London wine bar? In that operation, top level Aussie diplomat/politician/spook Alexander Downer was joined by a comely undercover female FBI agent who called herself Azra Turk, who has never been publicly identified.

Thefemme fatale delivered the question that yielded the statement that became the alleged basis for spying on the 2016 Trump campaign. (A New York Times 2017 article that has not aged well, deadpanned:
Quote:

It was not, as Mr. Trump and other politicians have alleged, a dossier compiled by a former British spy hired by a rival campaign. Instead, it was firsthand information from one of America's closest intelligence allies.

That was the very beginning of Russia, Russia, Russia as a global conspiracy to prevent Donald Trump from becoming President of the United States, and once elected, to sabotage his presidency. It was a collaboration of agencies from 3 of the 5. When the spooks decided to control who got to be president, half of the other 4 eyes were in on it from the start.

Really, we shouldn't share any intelligence with the UK/NZ/Australia/Canada, imho. They are run by largely hostile governments and infiltrated with many/increasingly muslim elements. Maybe Trump could offer to sell them some intel. Subject to approval by someone at the White House.

We have far too many goods shipped via trucks long haul vs. rail/sea.

It's all from politics. This also has helped grow the illegal alien truck driver 'population.'

Rail? Still needs to be trucked from the railheads.

Rivers? A) subject to unreliability due to floods or droughts; B) still need to be trucked from ports.

I have a railroad about 2,000 feet from the ranch house. No stops, no place to unload squat within 70 miles.

Uhm not gonna work in a country as large as ours.

Not sure what you are interpreting there but there is no 'perfect' modality for long haul freight, nor can riverine transport replace trucks entirely of course. Still, we subsidize trucks to a large degree. It's unfortunate.

The railroads have unused capacity for multi-modal freight. Railroads have invested in MM terminals where containers and semitrailers are offloaded on one side of the tracks and loaded on the opposite side in minutes.

If you can move freight for the majority of the distance from the factory to the customer on rail abd use trucks for the last 1-50 miles there is a lot of potential cost avoidance. Rail can achieve 420 ton-miles per gallon and the most efficient diesel trucks are ~90 ton miles per gallon IIRC.

Wow- popped in this thread to see how we're going to defeat the deep state.

Got caught up in an argument over freight hauling methods.

Solid.
