[quote=Anonymous]It is the craziest thread on X that people want rich government workers and contractors to suffer layoffs like them.

It’s also crazy that they want welfare to be cut off and for government to stop helping welfare people in cities.

Civil servants are not wealthy. Our pay scales are published. A stable job is kinda the goal of most economies but government jobs are not cushy and often come with beloved “re-orgs” which are stressful and frequent.

Federal contractors do not have stable jobs. Everyone knows it’s riskier than federal civil jobs. Contracts get cut. Positions get cut. Don’t even get me started about position eliminations when a person needs maternity leave or short term disability.

Red states need welfare. Talk about a trade deficit. Look at Kentucky. They can’t exist without federal aid. Sure, cancel their support and put tariffs on Kentucky.

I’m want red states to feel pain and they want blue govies to feel pain. Sounds like 2025 is starting off to a brutal note.[/quote]
