  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Breaking a Rocket Design, is Different than Breaking Peoples' Lives

Musk has laid off thousands of federal workers.
As one article noted, 40% of these layoffs would not save any money.

It's one thing to have a rocket blow up after take-off.
It's another thing to have thousands of peoples' lives blow up,
after they are fired without any warning.

Salaries of federal workers account fot 5% of federal spending.
Simply firing random federal workers, is NOT low hanging fruit, in the hunt
to cut down the total spending by the government.

Many professionals in the area of the economy, have pointed this out to the president,
but the president seems to like to fire people, instead of listen to the professionals.

You are using this article to bash Musk, the hate is real. Nothing you are preaching is inside the article.
