[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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] That was at the state level.[/quote] The PP has the logic of an angry toddler trying to lash out at incoherently because they have no idea how anything actually works. I am literally laughing SO hard that someone thinks that government decisions like shut downs are made of “people just like you.” Hah what? I’m an attorney who interprets and writes memos about complex regulations. Nobody bothered to ask me a thing about how to handle COVID. Serious, bahahahaha! Can you imagine thinking *1.5 million* GS level fed employees had any say in local governments shutting things down?! How do you become disgruntled and stupid enough to think like this? [/quote] Yeah, like good lord, do you think patent examiners were deciding shut downs? Or the people who process SSA benefits? Or the person doing medical device safety research? [/quote] Everyone knew that conservative voters were against extended (beyond first 2-3 weeks) shutdowns because they were already vocal about it. If liberal voters (95% of DC are Dem voters) were also against shutdowns then they should have made that clear to their representatives and we would not have had them. [/quote] So in your mind all Feds are liberals, and liveral voters caused the shut downs. And you're just going to ignore that the health officials deciding shutdowns were also looking at how hospitals were doing (they were not doing well at all). So let's fire the feds? Yeah, you're completely nuts. [/quote]
