正如一位面试官最近所说,这是“我们这个时代的一种大师”,这是一个大短暂的作家迈克尔·刘易斯(Michael Lewis)。 He has, after all, chronicled some of the big social and economic sea changes of our time – and, in the case of Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s DOGE saga, he even seems to anticipate the sea changes.
Speaking with Samantha Selinger-Morris on The Morning Edition podcast, Lewis discusses the catastrophic risks that could come from decimating the US federal government, and whether he thinks Trump’s presidency will be the end of the American Empire.

Selinger-Morris: I have to start by asking you what civil servants in the American federal government actually do, and what is the risk if they’re fired… your latest book was actually mostly written last year before Trump returned to office.它似乎可以预测马斯克对联邦劳动力的污秽。那么,如果他们被解雇了怎么办?
刘易斯:嗯,这取决于您开火的效果,但是对于初学者来说,如果您想到联邦政府,有几个框架有用,但其中一个只是一个风险和问题,可以管理自由市场不希望能够处理或努力的努力,这些范围都不会让您感到恐惧,那么他们不愿意努力,而努力却不那么努力。浪费以预测飓风。因此,上帝知道会发生什么……很难预测这导致的位置。
selinger-morris:因此,在您的估计中,这是否意味着美国现在可能更接近发生另一场大流行或核事故,而不是在所有这些大门削减之前?
lewis:当然:当然。是的。上述所有的。命名您的风险。我认为没有一个风险不太可能处理。
