[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1.5 million people lost their job in like a 60 day period in Financial Crisis and I dont recall anyone in Govt caring

114 million people lost their job in 2020 due to Covid and I dont recall govt workers caring.

I was out of work in Covid with two kids in college laid off and I recall govt workers on the block throwing parties, going to their beach house, sleeping in late swimming in their pool getting full pay for doing nothing all day.

Even if every Fed lost their job there are only 2 million. A rounding error compared to Covid or Financial Crisis.

Gosh, what I find sad about the glee in this post is that the firings so far have disproportionately affected younger professionals, who like your own kids, were in college or trying to start a career during the pandemic.  This is terrible for our generation of kids. I teach high school science and know of at least one (brilliant) former student who was fired.  What’s happening with science and research is two-fold because not only are the federal agencies being targeted, the funding is getting cut off too, which funds science positions at universities and elsewhere. It’s very sad.

FWIW, maybe you just live in a fancier neighborhood than me but I have a lot of Fed neighbors (and a Fed spouse) and don’t know any with their own beach house (or a big enough yard for a pool-ha).  And big block parties were considered super-spreaders.  But again, sounds like we live in different areas.[/quote]

You’re responding to a troll. They said 114 million people lost their jobs during covid. lol. [/quote]
