    With a little modification of that old saw about taxes to "don't fire you, don't fire me, just fire that guy behind the tree."

      Well, I knowingly support the tribe that seems dead set against remote work.

      Education is extremely important.

        What does that have to do with this? These guys were let go because they were probationary despite their decade+ of experience.

        VA hospitals are all over the country. USDA employees are everywhere there are plants to inspect.

          @jon-nyc I'm sure you intended a granular point that my post has nothing to do with. Please pardon me if I don't work too hard to discover the specifics of that granular point. My point is that sometimes, people support a political side that in certain specific ways might work directly against them.

              The second guy - from the VA. If you read the whole article he was set to retire in 2027 and had filed the paperwork. Now he’s out before he put in his 20.

                  But maybe publicizing a few will tamper down the glee with which the maga right has greeted these individual job losses. At the end of the day all these people did was apply for a decent job.

                  Agreeing with the cuts is one thing, celebrating the tragedies the individuals are going through (let me know if you’d like receipts, but I’m sure everyone here has seen it) quite another.

                      Every dollar we cut is a dollar that doesn’t go to increase the debt, and we have a long, long way to go.

                            It’s a little easier to point to the GOP’s deliberate decision to take us off our debt reduction glide path 24 years ago with forever wars and tax cuts.
