Read this with more than a grain of salt. The article is true enough but only at one level -- the defense of the administrative state as necessary to protect people in general and government employees specifically in this article and to deliver service to the public. Trump and Republicans in general have no interest in people as other than profit centers to pillage including your grandmother's bank account. They call it the Nanny State This social structure might actually be obnoxious if it were really true. But, the truth is there are two administrative states just as there are two sets of laws -- one for people and one for for the rich including big business and the bigger and more powerful the business the more rules to protect them and benefits that accrue.
I offer the following side bar to help readers understand this public discourse over the James Corney firing within a broad, holistic and progressive framework:
Approach with caution when asked to defend and support the administrative state in the name of an agency such as the EPA or the FBI. See Richard Heinberg's article "Goodbye Administrative State, Hello Community Resilience" for a very good discussion of why a titanic shift in law and administration of energy and finance for starters, is absolutely needed. I would add education, housing and health care to this mix.
