Expand I think that number (b) point is an especial sore point for them. They may or may not be aware how much less government employees make than people int he private sector do, but when they hear anything about health benefits or 403(b) plan participation for taxpayer-funded government employees, those red hats see red. 1 Quote

They sent an email stating if you are not at least a Process Engineer you will be let go. We got a WARN notice and a 3 weeks severance as a COBRA carry over. My daughter was 2 and on a special asthma treatment. I had to sell my 69 Camaro and cash out my 401K to make ends meet. Guess what? Nooobody cared except my wife and I. We figured it out and opened my own business. Been really happy ever since. Expand Guess how your daughter's asthma treatment was developed and funded. I'll wait. If you had no one else in your life that cared that you were struggling, that speaks volumes. 3 Quote

Governments exist to provide services that are essential but not profitable. Governments are also responsible for the social welfare of its residents. Democratic governments do not exist to enrich billionaires. Having two really ****ty business people, both of whom having inherited their money from their fathers, or stolen from their partners, is a horrible way to run a government Expand This is exactly why I miss when utilities were government run.

CMRivdogs Posted February 23 Posted February 23 This dude is a member of the DOGE Caucus and claims to have no idea.
