The Economist just published a deeply-researched story about car bloat, and it's very, very damning: "For every life that the heaviest 1% of SUVs and trucks save, there are more than a dozen lives lost in other vehicles." Well worth your time: economist.com/interactive/un…

"Of the 135 players [from 2013-2018] included in the performance analysis, quarterbacks’ return to prior performance was superior to that of other positions, with only a 2.4% decrease in AV comparative to an average decrease of 50.0% across all other positions (P = .0165)."

Federal employment is already at historic lows - both in number and % of workforce. Regular testimony is provided at how understaffing interferes with public services. It’s easy to be critical with top level figures like this. It is difficult to be nuanced, understand the numerous functions and advocate for better performance.

The average salary of a federal employee is $94,430 a year. There are roughly 2,950,000 federal employees. That means in salaries alone, pre-benefits $278,568,500,000. Add just the HC plans, and that’s an additional $22,532,100,000. I believe you could cut the federal government (non military) in 1/2 and still get the same below average service. You could save over 1,200,000,000,000 in 4 years just dumping dead weight.

@IKE_Packers @packers @UCLAFootball @MelKiperESPN @NFLDraft I don't see Latu as a good fit. Transition to 4-3 defense underway. Medicals. Age. Rising Prospects... I think JPJ, Fautanu, E.Cooper, J.Colson, or even Max Melton or Jaylen Wright better fit the profile of a Gute/Packers pick.

Mel Kiper has the Packers taking Laiatu Latu (pass rusher) in his new mock draft
