A recent report chronicles the struggles of a handful of federal employees as they learn to cope with the reality that Donald Trump just might win the election.
It is unintentionally one of the funniest things you’re going to read this election cycle.
POLITICO covered the group heralding from various government agencies as they came to terms with the fact that their jobs might be on the line if Trump defeats Kamala Harris. They suggest a new administration would be “vindictive” and eliminate their jobs. As such, they prep for the inevitability.
A large portion of these federal workers are fleeing the EPA, transferring to departments that won’t be as target-rich for a Trump administration eager to eliminate waste and over-spending.
But the outlet also gets down into the weeds, noting one couple who is being forced to put off buying a new car and making home renovations because they’re worried about their jobs.
Now look, I’m not one to relish in anybody’s misery. But the POLITICO piece has all the vibes of this group …
I have friends who are federal workers. They would acknowledge the bloat in various government agencies. It’s nothing personal. But man, this article is glorious. It needs to be injected directly into my veins.
It’s practically an ad in the making for the Trump campaign.
“We have stopped doing any money-spending things because what if we’re without jobs in the next year?” one Interior employee tells POLITICO. “We need all the savings we can get.”
Gosh, that really resonates with the average American who has had to ‘stop doing money-spending things’ for four years, just so they could afford gas to drive to their two jobs and then pick up a scaled-down list of groceries that their family has to ration on the way home.
That couple, by the way, no longer feels confident in buying a new car or making home repairs. Sad. How many of you have put that off during this administration’s evisceration of the American worker’s paycheck?
Easily half of them are unqualified DEI hires – either at the entry point or through the USA Jobs internal preferences. They can’t get jobs in the private sector because they would be held accountable for their non-productivity / interference!
I can’t wait for not enough of them to quit and have the government get better!
And Wicomico county is in the same boat with unqualified workers taking up space in both the court house and government building.
