[quote=Anonymous]The administration was us all poor. They want us poor and with no means to defend ourselves. And when I say us, I don’t just mean federal employees and the businesses that support them. I mean all of us. What Musk and Trump want to show is that for any reason and at any time they can wipe out thousands of jobs and with that thousands of household incomes.

Look at what Musk did at Twitter. Arbitrarily deciding that thousands of people are “wasteful” and tossing them out overnight. The world’s richest man who knows nothing about government other than it pays him millions and millions for contracts. The people who are being fired are experts and public servants who will not easily be replaced and won’t easily find other jobs because of the glut of labor in the market. They didn’t do anything wrong. They were simply names on some list.

For those of you cheering from the sidelines, be careful. You could be next. No one is immune and all of our livelihoods are at risk. It’s how they will control us and now with a gutted judiciary and spineless congress and flailing federal agencies there will be no one to help you.  [/quote]
