Redditors Big Mad When Employees Of A US Institution They've Never Heard Of Before Are Fired By DOGE

Most employees at the US Institute of Peace, a congressionally created and funded thinktank now taken over by Elon Musk's unofficial "department of government efficiency", received email notices of their mass firing late Friday, the latest step in the Trump administration's government downsizing.

Glantz studied how Russia has fomented conflicts around the world and analyzed options for resolving them. She hoped her research could be continued and used elsewhere. She said the institute plays a unique role because of its narrow focus on conflict resolution.

Has a think tank ever produced anything of relevance?

Why is there so much focus on what a department does rather than what they have done? Would you keep around a department of feeding the homeless if they spend 100 million a year but can't say how many homeless people they have fed and how many meals they have provided? It's so stupid.
