The U.S. Department of Education announced Tuesday that it’s cutting its workforce nearly in half.
Roughly a third of staff will lose their jobs through a “reduction in force,” the department said in a press release. Combined with voluntary buyouts, the Education Department will have just under 2,200 employees by the end of the month, compared with 4,133 when President Donald Trump took office with promises to shutter the department.

Who needs education when you have a strong authoritarian leader anyway? /s
lol dude doesn’t even know how to drive a car.
He’s as strong as Montgomery Burns.
4133 employees… So if we assume their salaries average out to $100,000 a year (let’s be honest, it’s less than that, but whatever.) then laying off all of them might just barely make up for Donald Trump’s golf trips.
That’s clearly not the point of gutting federal agencies. If money was the objective here, they’d be taking an entirely different approach.
Wasn’t the talking Cheeto saying something about how good the education is in Asia a few days ago and that we need to do better. This is clearly the answer. What a fucktard.
Does this sorta count as insider trading, less education means more wrestling fans.
