I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:

How many times have I asked on this most august, in reference to what Pres Trump is doing ...

Intentional chaos, or incompetence?

While what I've seen over the decades, of Pres Trump's management abilities, would point more towards the latter, I still cannot dismiss the former viewpoint.
