Not sure how I feel about that yet.

Chicks make statements like this.

Describe their situations bc I’m curious.

They were promoted within the organization. Don't know precisely how long they've been here, but 10+ years, and both currently on "probationary" status. But their jobs seem safe at the moment.

You buy into the stereotype of government workers that’s been promoted by the Right for years.

In my experience there are plenty of knowledgeable, dedicated employees in the federal workforce. Those folks don’t deserve to be laid off to satisfy some misguided political agenda.

I;ve worked with them. Its 100% true.

Plenty of talented and hardworking people get laid off in the private sector when the overall organization is unhealthy and needs to restructure. You get that, right? why should federal workers be protected? That's what got us into this shite show.

I swear, some of you sound like you don't live in the real world at all.

Have you ever been to a National Park? There's tons of retired people who volunteer there. A lot of those jobs are seasonal because of weather. If you go to Glacier National Park right now, it's empty because it's buried under ten feet of snow. Sure, technically it's "open" but you need a good pair of snowshoes and some serious survivalist skills to enter. But in August it turns into a traffic jam, hence the army of volunteers who show up every summer to help out and give their boring lives some purpose.

This is a stupid argument anyway. Nobody is going to cut the NPS anyway. It's a fraction of a fraction of the deficit and it pays for itself because it costs like $28/day to enter a Park and there's virtually no overhead. Mother Nature provided all of the attractions for free.

Liberals ALWAYS trot out the National Parks whenever there is a threat of budget cuts or government shutdowns because they know it's the ONE thing that all voters - left, right and center - love about our federal government.

Your experience is either fake or emotionally driven. I have to deal with bureaucracy at every turn in the medical field with needless overhouse employees who provide no real service or benefit. Outside of the people who work for the government, it provides little benefit to anyone else

They dropped covid on Trump....dumbass.

It's because you are feeling vs. thinking.

The Federal government shouldn't be a mechanism to employ people.

The Federal government shouldn't operate so inefficiently that it bankrupts itself and destroys the lives of all of its citizens.

The Federal government shouldn't be so ineffective that its employees can usurp power from elected leaders.

The Federal government shouldn't be such a disaster that hundreds of billions a year can be lost to corruption so easily.

I don't like the idea that some good people lose their jobs. But, FFS, if you cared about that you would have put a stop to the insanity a long time ago to prevent it. Now, all of this is a necessity.

I like to think about the good hard working great white men that lined up at the voting booth after work on election day with their maga hats and t shirts on.

I hear you, sister. White men are the worst. Humanity would be much better off without electricity, indoor plumbing, cars, tv, computers, medicine, and all of the other awful shite they force us to live with everyday.

The only way to counter voters in MAGA attire at the polls is to dress in head to toe Dem swag next time you go vote. Poll workers are impressed by the more political gear a voter wears to the polls. Don’t forget to out shine those MAGAts by proudly advertising your preferred candidate next time you line up to vote!
