This sounds a lot like Elon Musk's claims about DOGE where he was 
initially going to save some two billion dollars by firing unnecessary 
civil servants, now reduced to $150 million (and shrinking) after a lot 
of the people he tried to fire turned out to be highly necessary.

Anything John Larkin doesn't understand is useless parasitism, and he 
understands surprisingly little.

He does understand that plumbers and electricians and car mechanics are 
useful. The more subtle stuff escapes him.
