[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For some reason I went down a rabbit hole of the r/Conservative reddit group. It was pretty eye opening and terrifying.  Regardless, if most conservatives feel the way those people do why don't we just get rid of the Federal government altogether and let people figure stuff out for themselves?  I swear 50% of the posts were about how we should fire 80% of the federal workforce and how lazy and inept the federal workers were.

So the idea is that we should put everything back to the states, remove the federal government and dissolve the "United States" is that what conservatives would prefer?  Because without the Federal government what is the point of being a united states of America? Just become individual states that govern themselves. [/quote]

Musk fired 80% of X staff.  It's now setting records for viewership and usage and better than ever.  Same could apply to the federal government. [/quote]

Tell you what. Let's apply that model to YOUR workplace (assuming you're not self-employed). Pretend 80 percent of your co-workers are fired and tell us how that will work. And while you're working on that hypothetical, figure out what would happen if YOU were fired. What makes YOU so essential to your employer?[/quote]

I just resigned from a federal agency after working there for 18 months.  I am in IT and was hired by a large bank at 50% higher salary, better medical coverage, 401K benefits, vacation, sick leave and maternity leave.  I had a staff of seven but did most of the work myself because the staff was pretty disinterested and it was easier to do the work than try to get them to do it. So I id 90% of the work of eight people in a 5 day work week.    That  might be the kind of waste that should be eliminated.  I took the fed job after my first child was born because I thought it would be easier.  It was, but it was also frustrating to watch people waste their lives but could do nothing about it.  [/quote]
