Why does your job exist? Why is it important? What does it look like when your job is done well? These are basic things that government workers should be occasionally telling the public, and they should certainly be telling the public loudly and clearly prior to a transition into lunacy.

If you think things aren't going to be okay, get on national TV and say that.

That’s not how national tv works at the moment, but I’d like to see it do that.
