Yeah, I hear you. Many people lost jobs then for ideological reasons. We received zero compassion, only threats TBH.. Yet, I am feeling bad about all the feds being laid off. It's not just about Feds it's about workplace culture in our country and how we accepted being treated like sh** and cannot imagine that a job can be fulfilling (not just feel like a jail sentence) and have reasonable hours and life work balance and great benefits. Also as other industries were bamboozled by the outsourcing and in-shoring of foreign workers Government was the only employer forced to hire Americans, in a way it was a refuge.

It almost feels like educated Americans with a career have become poor immigrants in their own country (without language and having to start from scratch) having to now get in line for what? New manufacturing jobs that's supposedly coming? or low paying labor/service jobs to stay employed? It's a horrible message to send

What “ideological” reasons? Refusing to acknowledge that racism exists when there were some pretty obnoxious examples in the daily news? Refusing to address people how they wanted to be addressed as a sign of civility and respect? Refusing to take public health measures during a pandemic and insisting you had a right to spread a deadly disease in the workplace?

Help me out here.

I'll wait.

There is no F-in parallel and I'm sick of private sector people pretending they have any F-in clue what this is like.

Just amazing how humans become empathetic when it happens to them.

This has been going on in IT world since 2000. The Bush Immigration Act of 1990 was passed to import millions of cheap foreign workers to keep US wages low and both parties keep expanding H1B and then created OPT out of thin air.

And whenever we complained, we get people pounding that you are stupid, lazy, worthless, why cant you compete with cheap foreign labor. They enjoy the pain of people that have been in a career for 20 years getting replaced with cheaper labor.

Just remember, they are not putting H1Bs in your cubes as you leave. They should be doing that to save money. Then you can feel the joy of watching a 26 year employee get fired and having an H1B in his cube the next week asking in broken English how to connect to the printer.

Maybe read a little folks. Maybe have compassion for US citizens being replaced by overwhelming immigration. Stop focusing on cheap iPhones.

Can you find me something (anything?) that supports the bolded? Especially from government employees?

Exactly.

Companies like IBM, Xerox, Kodak, Westinghouse, US Steel, ATT, the auto companies
, etc., etc. have laid off / cut the jobs of hundreds of thousands. The private sector had to change to survive. Job security is a relic of the past.

Now it’s the Federal Government’s turn. And it’s looooong overdue.

And in the private sector you have to produce something that’s a foreign concept to Government people. That’s RESULTS.

JFC. No, the Federal Government civilian work force does NOT have to “produce” you mouth breathing goon. I realize that you refuse to let this concept penetrate your thick skull, but the a Government (as a proxy for the country) is NOT. A. BUSINESS.

If your local fire department had a slow year (because there weren’t any fires) and couldn’t therefore show that they had put out X number of fires, would you declare them useless and lay them off? They clearly weren’t producing anything, or even putting out fires which is their one job!

You people are such morons it’s mind-boggling.

The limited mental acuity of yet another feeble-minded leftist ne'er-do-well on full display.
The primary function of the U.S. government, as outlined in the Constitution's Preamble, is to "form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity"

Although you're correct about the US Government not being a business, your overall assessment is clearly askew.
The US Government is also not a charity. If you want your money to fund things such as the promotion of atheism in Nepal...

feel free to send your donation(s).
Should you desire your money go towards ‘Reintegration’ Gift Bags for Deported Central Americans...
https://www.gao.gov/assets/gao-19-62.pdf
you're more than welcome to do so.

Those are "proxies" that the majority of American taxpayers do not wish to fund, nor are they the kind our government can afford.

"the Federal Government civilian work force does NOT have to “produce” is beyond idiotic and completely devoid of common sense. Perhaps your understanding of the word "produce" is as limited as your intelligence.
Here's a definition that would apply to ANY "work force" that can warrant its own existence - "cause (a particular result or situation) to happen or come into"
Is that concept penetrating your thick, mouth-breathing skull yet?

If nothing else, American citizens invest in the Federal Government based on the tax revenue collected by said government.
Good investments "produce" positive returns/results.

And then there's your moronic comparison to a local fire department...which isn't even worthy of any further response.

Yes you will argue of this is what we go through in the private sector. You miss the point. You are just used to being treated like garbage.

If you have been paying attention, companies hate workers more and more. The more money they male the more they hate us and the least they want to pay us. They have been bitc***g and mo***g about the wage growth we got post COVID and the small period where workers slightly had the upper band in their choice of employment. Then they started hating remote workers coming up with all kind of nonsensical studies about it's ineffectiveness.

It's shameful that corporations (corporations are people too remember that line) have managed to turn us into hating ourselves to the point where we turn against each other.

Honestly ask yourself. How has the existence of a fed worker render your life miserable?

Which is why it is incomprehensible that the Democrats decided boys in girls sports and defund the police were more important than an actual labor movement.

Stop lying, the little baby red hats were the ones that couldn’t stop thinking about little boys and girls and fantasizing about what happens in bathrooms.

NP. The most significant and unified action Congressional Democrats have taken since Trump was inaugurated was to protect the right of boys to play in girls sports. It’s hard to avoid the conclusion that this is the Democrat’s highest priority.

Thank you for a link to a reputable news source, which mere reinforces the obvious; as another poster put it:

“Which is why it is incomprehensible that the Democrats decided boys in girls sports and defund the police were more important than an actual labor movement.”


There are one or more people trying to re-write history here by refuting obvious truths.

But any mature adult with a memory remembers what the democrats have done with their opportunities to lead the administration and, at times, congress (not to mention state leadership).

No one is falling for the revisionist history or gaslighting anymore. I’d argue it’s part of what landed our country where we are now.

I wish this were true. But unfortunately for some of us Dems, many Dems DO deny that was a factor in our massive losses. Especially that nut job poster that keeps insisting it was only Joe Biden and no other Democrat. The one who calls everyone a dimwit.

The Democrats weren’t pushing any of that. Maybe if you had ever turned off Fox News you’d be less of a gullible imbecile.

No better example of a gullible imbecile than the one you just made of yourself.
How/why do you people continue to remain so blatantly, incredibly naive & willfully ignorant? And then highlight your inability to respond with anything of substance by using a tired Fox News reference to prop you up.

On March 3, 45 of the 47 Democrats that voted, did so in opposition of the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act, which would prohibit “school athletic programs from allowing individuals whose biological sex at birth was male to participate in programs that are for biological women or girls”.

Your denial of the Democrats "defund the police" movement is just as laughable.

Speak truth to power.

The powers which held the White House and sometimes congress for 12 of the last 16 years did in fact push “defund the police.”


The evidence supports this basic and obvious truth:

- and yet, just a few posts above this, someone here on DCUM wrote “theDemocrats weren’t pushing any of that.”

I cannot think of a more clear example of gaslighting, disinformation, fake news, etc. - whatever you call it: such blatant liars are right here on DCUM every day.
