Astronomy in Hawaii under threat?

Yes, I knew these things.  I was thinking more about the jobs that people already have.  Would people employed there still have jobs until 2033 or would there be increasing staff cuts until then?  I'm gratefully not in a position to need to have an opinion about what should or shouldn't happen.  Just trying to understand the facts and implications, so if needed in the future, which is doubtful, I can then offer an informed voice.
