The U.S. government is the world's largest "temp" employer. The military serves in four or six-year enlistments. Presidents serve four-year terms. Congress is also hired for two and six-year terms. It was established so bad actors could be dumped and replaced with better ones. The bureaucrats have entrenched themselves into cozy corners. Each of them counts the days until retirement when they won't have to work to get a paycheck. Elon Musk is lifting the log and finding all sorts of crawling creatures not used to bright lights or having to work.
