And as @rickhess99 says, “It’s easy to make people do something. It’s hard to make them do it well.”

5 reflections from @rickhess99: 1️⃣"Reaction to the cuts [are] mostly a proxy for how one feels about the federal role." 2️⃣There's a lack of knowledge about "what department staff actually do." 3️⃣"Emphatic declarations are now the lingua franca." 👇
