I think that a lot of people are very nervous right now and that may account for the tone of some of the posts. I guess it's fun watching your neighbor get their butt kicked by the mob, until they come to your door. We shouldn't be to quick to judge everyone as this or that. In the end this is the start of something that will swing between the extremes every 4 years and puts everyone at risk. We should all be working together to figure out what we can do to protect our families as things start happening around us.
I feel sorry for the Federal Employees who are not politically motivated, the GS10- GS13s ($50,000 to $115,00 per year) who have no say in the politics but wanted a steady job to support their families. These are mostly accountants and manager types with degrees in accounting, engineering, or project management who's job is just to execute the orders from above. These people are the ones being told that they are toilet paper and that decades of service no longer has any value. It is just like when GM and Ford decide to close plants, the employees are let go, then the local suppliers close, then the foreclosure rates go up, grocery stores close, and the city starts to look like a ghetto. The goal is to remove 80% or 1.8 million of these employees and they are scattered across all 50 states. At some point this will impact all of us and we need to be ready for it.
Sorry, I got on a soapbox by mistake.
