[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do you “know about federal jobs”?  There are 2M federal employees across the US. You know about all our jobs and programs? You don’t even know that most Feds aren’t in DC. [/quote]

Exactly the point. What do any of us know about federal jobs. But now that the curtain is being pulled back, we'll find out more than we ever imagined. 2M federal employees sounds like bloat to me. 500K still sounds a little top-heavy, if we're being honest.[/quote]

Ok, so you don’t actually know anything about federal jobs. So to start, you are a liar.

In addition to the 80% that live outside of DC, 30% are vets (compared to 5% of the private industry).

Here are some examples to help educate you:
70% of federal jobs are related defense and national security.  
500K work for USPS
400K at the VA, over 300K are in the medical field 
20K ice agents 
350K law enforcement 
37.5K prison guards
5K are bank examiners
8K are patent examiners
175K are scientists
44K are lawyers 
60K work for the SSA which is significantly understaffed [/quote]

Bank examiners and lawyers can largely be replaced by AI. SSA is grossly overstaffed. Horribly inefficient processes and tons of dead weight.[/quote]

Ok, so that’s what, $79K? That’s less than the number of Feds that  retire every year.

Also who is going to defend Trump’s admin in all these lawsuits?  AI? [/quote]
