You have some good points, but this store also has an outsized role in the community and a large shock will drastically affect the community. Take a patient who has an infected wound. I guess you would say the prevailing approach was to putter around, let the patient develop gangrene and slowly die. I wouldn't entirely disagree, although I would tone down the severity. What DOGE is doing as reform is way too extreme to me, amputating the patient excessively and without proper care. Ironically, I was calling out "middle grounders" in my sibling reply, but I will say here that surely a middle way is most appropriate. But then DOGE as it currently stands wouldn't exist, and I don't see this administration taking such a route. This is all within expectations when we discuss broken systems. It is easy to take the extreme of standing by the system no matter what. And it is easy to take the extreme of burning it down. Culture and counterculture. The rule and the revolution. These are comfortable, if not likeable. But we should always seek a golden mean. Now whether one administration or the other is better suited for that is an entirely different discussion.
