About 10,000 employees quit HHS when Sec. Robert Kennedy took over, and he’s firing another 10,000 to streamline the agency and make it more efficient and effective.

His top goal is to tackle the chronic disease epidemic in America, and the cuts might help with that.

The overhaul will focus on Kennedy’s priority of ending chronic illness “by focusing on safe, wholesome food, clean water, and the elimination of environmental toxins,” HHS said in the release.
With a little luck, they won’t have time to make woke videos because they will be concentrating on the agency’s core mission which is America’s health.
