>experts in one field [assuming] their skills are transferable

That appears to be the premise of DOGE.

This sentence also killed me:

>working on various projects I’m definitely not able to talk about

It's not because they're classified. It's because a bunch of unaccountable private citizens are plotting behind closed doors to tear down the government.
