You know there are some very good people who were dedicated to their job that got dumped on the street? Including veterans.
Great. They can go get real jobs

Yes, if he has been there several years he will be fine. They are not trying to cut defense or nasa. They are cutting out all the bs that has been added the last 4 years and moving those funds to other important projects.

Do not know how many people know this but there were whole sections created for DEI and the Trans community at each and every military installation. Most of them were staffed with federal civilian workers and I am sure since covid all of them remote work. This is who they are getting rid of. They are then taking those funds and moving them to actual defense projects.

I keep hearing over and over and over fired USAID and Gov workers boohooing and crying that because of Trump and Elon they are not going to receive their pension and they were only a few months away from retiring
This doesn’t make sense.
A few months from being vested is likely what is intended.
Those who are vested have property rights in their retirement.

Because these jobs, in most cases, consisted of little to no actual work, were wasteful for the taxpayer, and furthered corruption.

Unfortunately with how politics has been, both sides are enjoying the destruction. While I'm not exactly bummed that we are trimming government, I'm also not going out of my way to find and laugh at sob stories. I also think everyone has been conditioned to laugh at sob stories, because regardless of the situation, there will always be a sob story.

What is this based off of? What job roles were eliminated because of little to no actual work?
Then I'd like you to compare that vs people we had to rehire....

offices that handled the trans community. There was one on every base world wide. They made a slide training that we all had to do every year. I bet money the whole office on every base remote worked and basically did nothing.

It seems like all sense of decorum has been lost since 2020. Emotional dysregulation is applauded now. Someone can agree the government should be trimmed without laughing at Joe Blo American who was fired without cause. That’s the part that doesn’t make sense. These are mainly normal Americans who needed a job and found one, not some nefarious oligarchs.

fwiw, If you're working a job that you know isn't necessary, you should either find a new job or prepare to invariably be let go.
In college I had practically do-nothing job. It paid great for almost no work but I knew it wouldn't last forever. And it didn't. I got a 40% pay cut and quit a week after.
These people should've at least been mentally prepared. Especially knowing the debt the FedGov is under.

MAGAts are assholes.
Personality predates ideology.

My point on this is not whether true or not, but people have been conditioned to think they can get these Jobs with no consequences plus retirement. They can’t grasp that what they were doing was a fraud
what's fraudulent about being a park ranger?

You do realize that they were not paying into Social Security and so this leaves them with nothing for retirement?

You sure about that? Feds on the older (much older) retirement system did not.

Bureaucrats Are members of Congress, not park rangers
Any park ranger managing policies, budgets, or other administrative processes is a bureaucrat. Any ranger enforcing those policies is a bureaucrat even if they are doing so strictly within the park's confines that they manage.

That's why we should tell them to learn to weld.
I've been doing this on FB and causing some completely unhinged meltdowns. I absolutely despise FB but I'm using it merely as a tool to keep in touch with customers and troll the everliving shite out of my prog cousins.
