OPM Director Scott Kupor warns David Senra that the federal workforce is heading for a retirement cliff. Only 7% of federal workers are under 30, compared with 23% of the U.S. workforce, while 44% are over 50, compared with about 33%. Half of the government's workforce could retire within five to ten years, and almost nobody is coming up behind them.

.David Sacks: Democrats Hate Department of Government Efficiency Because They Think Taxpayer Money Belongs to Them "I was at the State of the Union and up in the balcony. I was looking down at the Democrats holding up these silly little signs and the sign that I saw the most was one that said ‘Musk Steals.' I really thought about that. How is Elon Musk stealing? He’s returning money to the Treasury. Then it hit me, they actually have come to believe that this taxpayer money is theirs and by returning it to the Treasury, Elon is stealing from them. That’s my best explanation of why they’re in such hysterical state about this. But of course, Elon isn’t stealing anything. He is making sure that the federal government is taking good care of our money and that we’re not wasting it, it’s not going to corruption or fraud, and I think that just has the swamp in an absolute tizzy because he, along with President Donald J. Trump, and at the president's direction, they are draining the swamp."

.David Sacks: Bitcoin Strategic Reserve Will Maximize Long-Term Value of U.S. Holdings "The reason why we need a Bitcoin reserve is that the federal government already owns some. In fact, it obtained around 400,000 Bitcoin over the past decade through criminal and civil forfeitures and seizures. And so the government has to have a strategy for how it deals with this. In the past, the strategy has been simply to sell it in an ad hoc way, almost willy-nilly, and that cost American taxpayers something like $17 billion in lost value. So we want to have a long-term strategy to maximize the value of these holdings. We’ve decided that Bitcoin is scarce, it’s valuable, and it is strategic for the United States to hold on to this as a long-term reserve asset. So that’s the plan with the 200,000 Bitcoin that we believe are in the possession of the federal government. I say 'we believe' because no one really knows for sure since we’ve never had a proper audit. That’s one of the first things this executive order provides: we’re going to do a full government-wide audit to find out what digital assets we actually have so they can be safeguarded and moved into a strategy that maximizes their long-term value."
