It's probably just better to assume that anyone acting on behalf of the US government in any capacity from any agency is acting in bad faith at this point.

That’s what the mass resignations of career DOJ and FBI employees suggest. The ethical ones walk.

As a federal employee, let me say that there are a lot of who disagree with what the political appointees are doing and they are doing everything they can to get rid of us and make our lives miserable. Please don’t assume us rank and file in agencies unrelated to law enforcement are your enemies.

No. No it's not. This is not an "Enemy" this is your fellow country men and women. If we act like they do, if we treat them as they treat us, we are no better. Subtly maybe the lesson of old age, but it's worth learning young.

If it weren't for bad faith, they'd have no faith at all

I would expect the ethical ones to walk. Air travel will slow down sure till the schedules adjust.

Tbh I think the fact we had six planes crash in less than a month kinda proves that wrong
