Point some out when you see them.[/quote]

They are trying really hard to wish this into existence, and their bafflement at not being able to stick it to the libs is incredibly entertaining[/quote]

[b]Agree they seem more upset and angry than the left by far. It’s weird considering[/b].[/quote]
It’s fear. In every post trying to take Dems temperature. We’re not disclosing our little secrets. We’ve fired our Republican wealth managers. Not spending money on maga businesses. Supporting legit disruptors. Not worrying. Not responsible. [/quote]

We must punish our fellow Americans for voting the way they want to! What the heck are they thinking? Voting for a candidate who isn’t a democrat? TREASON.[/quote]
Sure, pretend his political party affiliation is the problem, not the sexual assault and other crimes, compulsive lying (including The Big Lie), fomenting an attempted insurrection, refusal to put his pride aside and publicly embrace the peaceful transfer of power, idolization of authoritarians, corruption, nepotism, general incompetence, stunning ignorance, shattering of norms, mental deterioration, and advanced age.

Trump is not like anyone else. There are Republicans we would disagree with and vote against, but Donald J. Trump is truly in a class by himself. He’s not just an undesirable candidate; he is an amalgamation of everything that could possibly be wrong with a candidate.

Get out of here with your gaslighting.[/quote]

Things will get interesting in this place when Trump revives Schedule F, Strips civil service protections from tens of thousands of federal, and fires  500,000 federal employees. So, we will see about the resistance of the parasites [/quote]

You know they can find better paying work in the private sector, right? You’re choosing the weirdest stuff to fantasize about. It really seems like Trump has made you people either unwilling to use critical thought, or just plain dumber. [/quote]

Come on now, I am not anti-Fed, but this is just wishful thinking. Fed pay is actually very competitive, except for some limited technical and policy areas. Most feds don't have particularly valuable skills for the private sector. Many do have very specific knowledge that makes things work in fedgov, that is valuable to agencies, but they are not turning down private sector offers en masse. If they were so desirable, and so undepaid, they'd leave.[/quote]

DP they often do leave for higher pay but many stayed for job security and benefits. There is still a big pay gap as private sector pays more for same jobs and qualifications.

Federal workers who move between the private and public sectors are often referred to as "revolving door" employees, meaning they transition between jobs in government agencies and private companies, sometimes leveraging their experience in one sector to gain advantages in the other. 
 
Reasons for transition:
Federal employees might move to the private sector for potentially higher salaries, more rapid career progression, or to pursue opportunities in specific industries where their government experience is valuable. Conversely, they might move back to the public sector for stability, benefits like pensions, and a sense of public service. 
 
Potential ethical concerns:
"Revolving door" situations can raise concerns about conflicts of interest, especially when a former government official might use their insider knowledge to benefit a private company they later work for. 
 
Relevant regulations:
Ethics rules govern federal employees transitioning to the private sector, often requiring cooling-off periods where they cannot engage in certain activities related to their previous government role. 
 
Examples of roles where this transition is common:
Policy advisors:
Individuals who work on policy development in government agencies might move to lobbying firms or consulting companies where they can leverage their policy expertise. 
 
Contractors:
Federal employees with experience managing contracts might transition to working for private companies that bid on government contracts. 
 
Regulatory officials:
Individuals who oversee compliance with regulations in a particular industry might later work for companies within that industry
