Related: About this forumA government worker's message for Elon Musk
Since taking office, President Trump and his advisor, billionaire business owner Elon Musk, have worked to winnow the ranks of federal workers. At times questioning the contributions of some federal employees, they are also enticing more than two million government employees to quit, and have moved to shutter entire agencies. But how will the public lose out if government workers lose their jobs? "Sunday Morning" national correspondent Robert Costa talks with Christopher Mark, a Department of Labor engineer who has helped keep coal miners safe and alive; and with Michael Lewis, editor of the new book "Who Is Government?," which explores a workforce of individuals dedicated to the public good.
"CBS News Sunday Morning" features stories on the arts, music, nature, entertainment, sports, history, science and Americana, and highlights unique human accomplishments and achievements. Check local listings for "CBS News Sunday Morning" broadcast times.

(2,450 posts)1. We almost always start our Sunday with "CBS News Sunday Morning"
This chopping block approach by eLoon will at some point have an impact on many reich-wingnuts, many of whom should be able to relate to Christopher Mark. The problem, of course, is that few will actually be exposed to those who are actually making their lives better. And a very good distinction between the roles of government vs. business was made as well.
Highly recommended!
