I am glad that you have a fantasy that makes you feel better with your sad life. |
Happy, secure people don't spend their time like this. Something is obviously wrong in your life if you really care that much about how a bunch of strangers live. My guess is you have some repressed sexual feelings you are too ashamed to admit. Or you just have small junk. Either way it really shouldn't be America's problem, but alas. |
You sound really unhappy, and your rage is really misplaced. Part of joining up is literally giving up that kind of autonomy. You do what they say or you’re out, whether it’s because your CO tells you to get a shot for Covid or malaria or whatever or if they tell you to charge when bullets are flying at you in combat. I don’t remember any public servants cheering for people to be fired, and certainly the ones who developed a vaccine didn’t intend harm. It’s pretty bizarre to me that you want every single bureaucrat to be punished because of this one thing, a thing that helped us save lives. It’s also bizarre that you believe those of us in the capital city wish harm on others. I was born and raised here. It’s my hometown, but I have aunts, uncles, cousins, in-laws throughout the US, including in red states. I don’t wish any of them harm, even when I’m upset with them, and I don’t cheer for their destruction, neither do my neighbors, including Feds, some of whom voted for Trump. People, or maybe they aren’t really even people, say ridiculous stuff to each other online. But I promise you, there isn’t some secret cabal of bureaucrats plotting how to ruin lives. People go into public service to help others. These are people who have a lot of options, but chose this thankless, unglamorous work because they believe in our country, even when it’s not perfect, even when it’s very far short of living up to its ideals. I’m not a Fed. But the idea that my neighbors who are Feds are schemers or anything other than ordinary people with families, trying to do some good before they die, is absurd and it’s deeply troubling that you’re quicker to believe that than that a Billionaire who has made a fortune in government contracts is a disinterested party just trying to help the common American. |
Lol you are literaly bickering on the internet, insisting that someone isn't happy because they are also bickering on the internet. DCUM is priceless. |
Yes, because doing an annual vacation to Italy and having a third child is some crazy fantasy life ![]() |
You’re pure trash babe. That military comment sounds like you’re a military pop ‘em babies alone spouse suckling at the teat of welfare. Italy my a$$. PS: I’ve commented here before but I just got another job for 35K more than my six figure salary, love, 30 f-ing 5 K more because I’m done working for ingrates like the American public, you included. |
Sorry, but the vast majority of federal employees don't work in those jobs to "try to do some good." They do it because it's an easy 9-5 with decent benefits and they couldn't get hired in the private sector. |
You want to talk about useless entitlement? Military who retire at 45 and get gold plated healthcare and benefits for the rest of their life. Guess what? Elon is coming for you too. |
I love how fox news and oligarchs have turned us peasants against each other. Instead of building each other up we are busy squabbling while Elon just gets richer. Sad!
I remember reading in some book about the robber barons that Jay Gold said that “I can hire one half of the working class to kill the other half.” Crazy that we never changed I guess. |
Don’t bother with maga trolls. Their heads are so deep in the pile of Trump crap. They sound like robots, regurgitating Musk & maga talking points. Don’t waste a second of your time. |
Oh, Trumpers don’t ever change! No matter how old you are poster, you wouldn’t have been allowed to go to kindergarten or serve in the military without vaccines. This is nothing new. My dad is a Vietnam Vet, he got all sorts of vaccinations before he went. That’s right, he was drafted. Go to Vietnam or go to jail. Stop being such a little, weak snowflake complaining about Fauci. I swear Tru,let’s are so such little cry babies. |
You really don’t get it, do you? Nearly all the Feds they just cut are easily employable and highly educated. They will be scooped up by foreign governments/companies as we continue our backslide into the dark ages. Some Feds certainly choose the lower pay for a better work/life balance and “security.” They won’t now, and that’s to our detriment. We got talent we couldn’t otherwise afford. Again, the deficit is still going to balloon, and Musk is going to funnel billions to himself through government contracts. His pet project is getting to Mars. That’s not cheap. And rather than going through the proper channels, to get this prioritized by our elected officials, or not, since last time I checked it was way down the list of the average person’s priorities, he’s just taking the money. Both at the expense of middle class government workers and adjacent industries across the US and at the expense of the Americans dependent on some form of the social safety net, including veteran benefits, Medicaid, social security, unemployment insurance, disability, etc. |
Exactly this. Elon grows richer by the minute and sqwauks out another infant. He is like the Welfare King with all his government contracts. |
+1 The PP’s life is so #blessed that they’re still pissy years later over a vaccine mandate, which by the way isn’t illegal as we have 100+ year old case law allowing this, oh and also when you join the military you know your employer is going to have all sorts of health requirements. Just because you don’t like something or don’t agree with it doesn’t make it illegal. Now on the other hand, an unelected billionaire meddling in our country’s most secret data while not filling out disclosures or making divestments, not allowing any oversight into his actions, and unlawfully firing thousands of feds including inspectors general investigating his company is actually unethical and illegal. But stupid MAGA will throw such a tantrum over something like a vaccine that they’ll stomp all over the constitution. Congrats moron. You are a traitor to our nation. And btw we can afford our nice Arlington SFH bought pre-COVID at a sub 3% interest rate with over 60% equity on just my private sector spouse’s income. So you’re not getting rid of us educated liberals that easily. ![]() |
