I saw that, and it immediately made me realize that it's sort of not a useful number without context. Are those 20k spread roughly evenly across the government, or are there places where everyone quit? I am sure there are parts of government that will cease to function if the wrong 500 people suddenly quit.

As I mentioned before, I think the folks doing this would be fine with a “cease to function” outcome.

Next steps would be to blame it on the democrats, and then probably privatize it for a song to one of their cronies.
