Is the red pill / blue pill approach our best idea for efficiency?
Over two million federal workers facing an uncertain future weighed heavily on me all day today. I had so many questions but no real answers and the crushing feeling of helplessness.
Below is a brief version for context in case you missed it.

WASHINGTON ― Thursday was supposed to be decision day. More than 2 million federal employees across the country faced an end-of day deadline to choose whether to resign or stay in their jobs.
But a federal judge in Massachusetts on Thursday afternoon temporary blocked the buyouts, suspending the deadline until at least Monday, when a hearing has been set.
In a push to drastically reduce the workforce, President Donald Trump last week offered a mass buyout plan to the entire federal workforce, setting off fear and anxiety among federal workers as they contemplate what to do.
The judge's decision in a court showdown over the legality of the buyouts has now created more uncertainty.
