[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All the gleeful "cullers" do you have any capacity for empathy? Suppose you, whatever you do, were deemed "cullable" would you feel anything? [/quote]

Do you dissolve into a puddle of tears every time a company lays off staff?  This happens ALL the time in companies and corporations, across entire industries.

Remember covid when people lost their jobs, their businesses, their livelihoods?  [/quote]

This. Government workers were calm and relaxed while the government put restrictions in place on most private industries that put tons of people out of work (either officially or unofficially by simply not allowing them to work to get a paycheck). It’s long overdue that the bloat was cut from our federal government. I don’t agree with everything that Trump does but this one I’m looking forward to.

Many functions will likely move to the states anyway. So unless you’re doing something completely useless, you probably still have options if you live in a blue state. There will be some disruption but that’s life. [/quote]

You are so dense. Most gov workers were very sympathetic to those who couldn’t work because of the pandemic, and fully supported PPP, eviction freeze etc. it’s the incoming party that opposes all that (well except keeping PPP to help the bottom line, whoops can’t find my workers).

I am ALWAYS upset when a layoff happens, most especially when a profitable company lays off people to goose stock. [/quote]

If you were truly sympathetic to the people struggling in private industry then you would not have supported the shutdowns. It wasn’t that anyone “couldn’t” work because of the pandemic. It’s that the government (which is really just people - people like you) prohibited it. They prohibited people from going out and enjoying meals in restaurants, working out in gyms, etc. Supporting eviction freeze doesn’t help either since many small time landlords needed that money to live. The shutdowns were a disaster of government overreach and were the reason that so many people all lost their livelihoods and are in a horrible position now. All while government workers were safe. Forgive me for not being sympathetic to government workers now that they need to justify why they actually deserve their paycheck.[/quote]

Many many private professional people were working from home as well. Most federal workers had nothing to do with these policies.  They were just following office place guidance.[/quote]

And thr factvthat the shutdowns were the government trying to keep.people from dying.  Over a million people died of COVID, including my father in law and my aunt.  My Dad is a physician and the hospitals were on the verge of collapse, during the early days when they were still figuring out treatments he watched nurses in their 30s and 40s cath COVID and die.  My brother worked at a hospital doing IT and one of their colleagues died as well in the early days, a young guy too. The idea that shutdowns were this horrible thing imposed for no reason shows how completely disconnected you were from what the health system went through.[/quote]
