[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just post after post with the “open to work” logo from people who are highly qualified for jobs that don’t exist anymore. [b]All these people with fancy PhDs and highly specialized experience that I can’t imagine would be useful outside the federal government.[/b] I really hope that the private sector cuts them some slack.

That you can't see the irony in what you wrote here is astounding.[/quote]

I think Somalia is their ideal. 
NP and I don't see the irony.  The beauty of government jobs is that the mission can be helping people.  It doesn't have to be profit.  There are hundreds of thousands of professionals who have built specialized careers around helping people, and now their entire field is gone.  I see no irony in that.[/quote]

Dp. Your response makes me slide towards agreeing with the orange’s goal (still not the process).

A government’s job should be to support our society so it can become a better functioning society, eventually resulting in a better economic position. Not just ‘helping people.’  Helping people to what end that will benefit society as a whole?

That’s what the mission should be. [/quote]

Sure, who cares about food safety, curing cancer, feeding hungry kids, air traffic safety, consumer protection, hurricane detection, stopping the spread of bird flu, and all that kind of useless stuff. If the private sector ain't interested, it must be no good. Food companies can regulate themselves and bird flu - well, if we don't monitor it, it's not really happening, amirite?[/quote]

The services provided by a (reasonably) well functioning government are what keep society safe and civil.

Without these services you end up with a country like so many of the MAGAts fear and hate - companies selling unsafe products, mobs retaliating against these companies, huge stratifications among the wealthy, who live in gated, armed communities, and the poor masses.

I can only guess that people who don’t realize government services are necessary to be a “developed” nation haven’t traveled much and/or lack any curiosity or perspective.  [/quote]

I always wondered about this: what  nations are Republicans seeking to model?[/quote][/quote]
