Wow. So we have to pay people for 8 months of not working, and then likely hire more people before 8 months is over to do the jobs they were doing. And that doesn't include any training necessary to do those jobs.

No. You eliminate the old job and move the tasking over to people you already have.
This is how corporate downsizing works.

Hopefully MAGA will feel the pain disproportionately

Good for you.
