r/fednews: What will regulatory attorneys do if the CFPB/SEC/etc. are gutted?

I thought it might be a troll but OP deleted after screenshots started going around rightoid social media.

What will regulatory attorneys do if the CFPB/SEC/etc. are gutted?

I work in federal benefit law. If I lose my job, I can't just hang a shingle 15 years post graduation and practice - they're dismantling it as we speak. I have no idea what I'll do if I get fired, and I expect to be.

But then I realized, they're gutting financial and corporate regulations across the board. Thousands of government lawyers have lost or will lose their jobs, but where will they go? If there's much less regulation, that means fewer attorneys needed, and law firms and corporations will likely have massive layoffs as well to compensate for lack of business.

That's a lot of unemployed attorneys. 2008 but worse. Where will we all go?
