Not you personally. I apologize..I meant kinda in general.

Cause TRUMP! Duh

I read that Utah is trying to make it the standard option.

But I am curious. What did these people do before this WFH madness? How did they survive?

No...That's false. They are losing it because of the cuts. Period. There has been some concern about the timing yes. But the overwhelming majority of the posts on social media, and the mainstream media, have been about the cuts period.

Unfortunately, a non partisan third party audit is impossible. Literally impossible. In the fractured government we have, there is less than a 0% chance the two parties could agree on what is impartial. So that's out. CDUB brought up a good point discussing this prior. If you give too much notice, everyone will start finding safe spaces and there will be little that has been cut. Remember, this has been tried before by prior administrations and it was entirely ineffective. I'm not so much behind doing the same old tired things over and over, knowing they don't work. And you're right. DOGE probably doesn't know much about how things work there. But some people there do. And I have seen multiple articles about DOGE asking the department heads to come up with a list of positions to cut. Not so much DOGE coming in and pointing to three desks and telling those people they are out.

Yeah but here's my counter to that. You say you doubt his ketamine-addled cronies have the wherewithal to make these cuts. I say back, how do you know the federal employees have any more or less ability that these people? You don't. You're making assumptions based on nothing. I agree it's Ok to discuss and argue and all that. I enjoy the debate, but assumptions are being made that I take issue with.

That sucks TNG. Sorry to hear that

I hate working from home. Had to do it in April of 2020, everything was locked down. Soon as I could, I got back to work. Not a fan of working from home at all.

But, sir. My point is. Rather than acting like a little girl and screaming from the rooftops about the cuts, when you don't know anything at all, why not wait and see what happens? Wouldn't that be more prudent?

That could be the most obvious statement ever made. No kidding. IF it has an impact, then react then. But the freaking out about it now, with no evidence or knowledge about what these people do is, again, liberal feelings clouding rational decision making. I have literally no idea how many employees it takes to run the VA for instance. None. Neither do you, and neither does anyone else on this board or in most of american society. Yet, the left is losing their sheet over it.

I don't know if it is a problem or not. It seems it isn't for you. As it isn't for me. I am hoping folks that are being severely impacted by egg prices come in here and tell us about it

Is it a big deal to you? If so why?

I keep hearing this. "Elon and Trump have laid off sooo many people!" And I keep asking, well what did they do? I'm waiting for someone to tell me. Just cause someone is laid off doesn't mean, in any way that the department they worked for is going to be hurt.

Why is that bad exactly?

Not good. Are you blaming Trump's month and a half in office for it?

You dont know what they do either. Thats the point. People are reacting with zero facts

What do the 80k do?

Oh Bull. You came here and were absolutely confident Kamala would win. And here you go again, lying. You were spouting the same thing now as you did then. God I wish you'd stop lying. Why do you do it? WHYYYYYYY

Well Tim. If there's one thing you have shown, your political analysis is usually wrong

I disagree. 100% Again, the tariffs other countries slap on our products make our products more expensive in their home markets. Potentially impacting jobs etc. Not to mention, there is a significant incentive to build in those countries with high tariffs against us. Which is what has been happening. And it has been happening for years. You may not like it personally(which I understand..after all its about our personal situation first) but overall, tariffs are bad. You even SAY tariffs are bad but are willing to look the other way as countries hit us. Your logic just doesn't make sense to me.

Will you kids stop acting like...kids....Seriously. If it was Biden up there, the republicans wouldn't support him either. I get tired of people whining from BOF SIDEZ about bi partisanship when BOF SIDEZ do it and it will never end. Stop getting butt hurt when the dems didn't applaud Trump, when you full on know the same thing would have happened if it was reversed.

Guys, this is someone the democrat party was saying should run for President. I am seriously not joking. That's how bad the democrat party is right now

Well....You thought that this past election......you were sure of it....and you were wrong. Not being Trump is only 1/2 of the puzzle. The dems need leaders, people who can represent the party. Currently they have no one.

Tax relief for cars made in america. I like that. Better than tariffs
