What Will it Take to Re-build After We get Rid of Trump? [View all]
A Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, Michael Hiltzik, looked into it. A snip is below, but if you read the article, he goes from federal agencies to business to law firms and education.
See end of post for a brief bio on him.
Snip from LA Times:
Scientists warn that federal agencies and research institutions affected by Trump’s systematic dismantling could take a generation or longer to rebuild.
Key agencies such as the CDC have been so damaged that future administrations may need to start completely from scratch.
Economic warning signs are mounting as inflation rises and unemployment climbs to its highest level since the pandemic.
The all-purpose adage offering optimism — and sometimes pessimism — to those confronting a crisis head-on is: “This too shall pass.”
One gets the impression that this is a crutch favored by some major institutions that have capitulated to Donald Trump’s demands — such as universities that have committed to fines and payouts stretching out several years, beyond the end of Trump’s current (and final) term and law firms that have made nebulous commitments to represent Trump’s favored litigants in cases that may not even be brought until after the 2028 elections.
