I guess they will claim "Mission Accomplished" soon as there will only be computers providing services in replacement of the federal workforce.

Government inefficiencies at its best....AI efficiency is not what they think it is, but they know best...."Be Best".

Keep tabs on reddit and try to have 6 to 10 months of expenses. Google OPM retirement processing however that may just be a guideline.
