Well they’re getting fired and I agree they are wasting money

How do you know they are wasting money? Did you review their performances? Who told you they're a waste of taxpayer's money?

Because Musk sure didn't either: he just sent blanket emails to everybody telling them they're fired. So his assessment on their performances is equally uninformed.

You can't be this simple-minded. I have to think you're trolling.

I worked with them. Trust me, they're wasting your money, they know it, and they knew their jobs were safe. Until now! lol

Ah yes, that must be your career as a firefighter and park ranger. Those are SOO wasteful.

So are those the only types of jobs being eliminated?

Most federal workers are useful people, like firefighters and park rangers. But don't let reality interfere with your stereotypes.

But even if 90% of all federal were useless pen-pushers: so it's okay for you to fire everybody including 10% of invaluable scientists working on health issues, nuclear engineers keeping our stockpile of Cold War shit safe, VA workers catering to the needs of veterans... in the name of removing the useless 90%?

Don't you realize there are other ways to cut the fat than throwing away all the meat? This is so damn stupid and obvious to anybody, I don't even know why I bother engaging with you because you're obviously either trolling or not thinking anything through deliberately.

lol, riiigggghhhtt.

I'm glad he's firing a lot of fed workers. If you don't like it, be sure your party comes up with a better candidate next time. :)
