So you going to have hundreds of thousands of highly educated people making minimum wage at a five guys?

That is absurd. I would have no reason to go on living. Really predict this admin will result in a significant increase in suicides.

That’s another job you can’t just walk into. You need, at the very least, to be on a path toward certification. That requires taking courses, etc.

You can sub.

I would! My friend owns a contracting company and I offered to just carry stuff and pick up deliveries and maybe over time learn a trade.

Work is work and I still have a mortgage to pay.

Musk and Bannon and Trump et al literally don’t care. As long as they can grab power, we don’t matter

And they will stop buying things their middle class life enables them to buy, which will hurt local economies. Sorry, car dealer and restaurant and clothing store.

PP. I don’t either but it’s the only thing I can come up with when I try to figure out the logic of these bizarre decisions.

There was a post earlier from someone who was asking if they could be a manager at a retailer as a backup option.

You don’t just waltz into those jobs.

They will when times get desperate enough. Isn’t that the Trump administration goal?

I am all for increasing efficiency and not tolerating poor performance (to be clear, I think those cases are uncommon), but it seems to be that a slower, more measured approach to reducing government size would’ve been more effective. I am genuinely confused when these huge swaths of people are supposed to find employment - especially when the private sector / contractors are also doing layoffs.

What is the plan? We as a country also can’t sustain a significant chunk of the population being out of work…
