A Reflection in Response to the 2025 U.S. Government Shutdown
As the United States enters its first phase of government shutdown, since 2018, President Trump has made clear his intention: this is not merely a budgetary standoff, but a strategic purge. He has stated that the shutdown will serve as a “natural weeding-out process” for roles deemed unnecessary—a sentiment echoed by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), now operating in post-Musk inertia.
But beneath the political theatre lies a deeper societal wound: the erosion of vocational dignity when need becomes ceremonial, not operational.
