100,000 federal jobs shipped out of DC and reclassify 50,000 civil servants.

Let them telework from wherever they want to live and the USG can also reduce their salaries to account for the lower cost of living.

It's a win-win.

Or fire them and replace them with contractors who won’t have the same benefits. That way they can upscale or downscale the workforce as jobs become more and more automated.

Seems like a win win for the American taxpayer.

Those people you want to take good jobs from, and turn them into contracting gigs with no benefits, those are American taxpayers too. If we downscale the whole workforce and gut the jobs of their benefits, it's American workers that suffer.

You either don't actually care about American workers or you're too stupid to understand how any of this works.

I’ve seen exactly how it works from the inside. You lazy rats are all fxcked.

Enjoy the depression these policies will almost certainly cause. We live and die together, like it or not. You can't gut one of the most affluent economies in the country without consequences. Trump and his cronies will get rich, and everyone else will suffer. But hey, you got to own the libs, so I guess it's worth it.

I am familiar with federal govt and 30-40% can and should be cut easily w/o any problems. Some work 1 or 2 hours a day. Ridiculous.

Fake news. In my office most people are spread thin, wearing more than one hat, and there are numerous instances where major national systems and programs are only one fed deep. You don't find that anywhere in the private sector.

They already did this.

The result was a ballooning in the day to day operation of the federal government because the actual work of the government was outsourced to the big consulting firms and beltway bandits, rather than just paying salary and pension to federal workers. Many of those feds simply went from the government to become SME's at the consulting firms and 5x'd their salary and benefits and the taxpayers are covering those costs.

The federal wrokforce in DC is basically barebones because it is just people putting out RFPs for the contractors and subcontractors. Other than DOD, the largest employers are the various park rangers across the country and the postal service.

Exactly. There's a lot of work that could be done far more efficiently if pulled back inhouse to agencies. A-76 is a wreck.

Trump also wants to axe senior feds with years of subject matter expertise and replace them with unqualified, inexperienced hacks and political cronies who are loyalists.

This is what I'm more worried about. And having a political crony supervise me who doesn't know what they are doing.

I am not sure why people want Trump lackeys looking at meat processing plants of their GOP donors to make sure the facilities are clean, or lackeys approving drugs for medical use, or lackeyes sitting in air traffic control towers.

But hey, we will get the government we deserve after this election, so its all good.

It's like conservative voters want to go back to buying rancid meat, child labor, and not knowing what's in your drugs.

I'm fine with shipping federal jobs out of DC, though, most of us can barely afford to live in this metro area.

‘memba when Musk cut the Twitter workforce by 80% and all the progressives howled that the company would quickly collapse? How’d that work out?

The company is a shell of its former self, the user experience is worse and the technical issues have been off the charts bad.

If you aren’t a 14 year old troll, I feel so bad for you. Imagine being such a loser that the thought of someone’s misfortune makes you so giddy. And the impact it will have on everyone and I mean everyone’s life. But like a PP said-at least you would have owned the libs in the process. Every industry in this area relies on the fed govt. Including and especially tech.

Looking forward to the loyalist from Nebraska taking on coastal flooding issues with FEMA!

A lot of people don't bother to read the FAR and it shows. Contractors cannot be used for the performance of inherently governmental functions - i.e. they cannot be the ones directing, leading - they always report to a government manager. They are given a task and they complete the task - that's it. There are limitations for a reason.

Meh. Everyone knows that a segment of the government basically acts as a jobs program. What do you think those people would be doing otherwise?

I used to believe this, but the covid response changed my mind.

I can’t wait to love out of the DC area to a lower cost of living area, and happy to take the pay cut when I do. However, the timing is not right on that since I have teens and the last thing they need or want right now is that kind of upheaval.

People do not understand that this will affect them too. If you have no regulations you better have a perfect health because your medicine isn’t going to be safe. You better grow your own food, because food won’t be safe, etc.
