  • It’s crazy how bad it’s going to get in the next few months. I work for a branch in the fed that’s almost all remote work, about 10 out of 150 or so are in person including myself. I know I’ll be safe, but my team? Section? Branch? All screwed. Then what’s left, for me to be swallowed by a RIF? The deal was tempting because of the threat behind your inaction likely not mattering.

    Hoping it cools off soon. It’s hard to sleep lately.

    It double sucks because I just got my spouse into a federal job (she got herself in, but I provided her resources, resume building, etc, of course.) But now since she’s considered probationary and a temporary hire? She might be let go and swallowed into regret.






  • It’s never just a single issue, it’s a broad scope of ideas from outdated people. We keep consistently voting for people in their 70s who should retire. They don’t know what’s best for the future because they won’t have to live with the consequences of their actions.

    For the executive office at least,

    For congress, both parties taking huge swaths of lobbying money and corruption by huge corporations.

    Lobbying should be illegal and we need an age and term limit.

    Since we’ve spent the past 60 years talking about how horrific communism and extreme left is, even fighting multiple wars over it, we don’t really have a presence of far leftism.

    I feel like it’s cyclical at this point. We hate the far left so much that people become fascist. A fascist dictator rises. Everyone realizes how this was a bad idea, and we equalize. Generations forget, and we progressively move right again til another fascist dictator comes in.

    So no, there is no political power in America with true far left views, and our boomer gov would do anything to keep it that way.
