According to the White House about 75,000 workers took "Fork in the Road" offer which means they resigned their jobs and will be paid until September 30th. If they didn’t take it they would be fired anyway that was the threat. This means we taxpayers are paying people who are taking vacations or sitting at home doing nothing but collecting a check. Why not keep them on the job and tell them they are laid off as of September 30th? Who came up with that idea? I’ll answer, it was the brilliant Elon Musk.
