re: #208 Yeah Sure WhatEVs

That goes along with politicians should be business people, the government can’t help, all the republican bullshit for decades designed to damage government and what people think of government.

A lot of people already think that the President or other executive administrators can hire and fire civil servants at will, because they’re all political appointments. It’s a misconception that has a grain of truth (top-level civil servants are appointed, some of them can be replaced at the administration’s discretion), and is purposefully cultivated by Republicans because it serves their purpose in dismantling the administrative state.
