No worries, her husband’s Social Security Disability Income will be up for elimination next.

I know a few people in the states. They depend on both social security and medicade (or medicare. I always get those confused. Give me a break. I'm Canadian.) The voted for Trump mostly because of woke-something-something.

I'm not going to lie. If they end up without their government funds keeping them going, it will be pretty satisfying.

As for the other people who didn't vote for Trump, or didn't vote, my sympathy is pretty low. It was no mystery what Trump was after the first run and no mystery what Project 2025 was planning. It should have been a landslide against him but not enough people cared I guess.

I think this entire thing is an apathy wake up call. If we want things to be good and stay good, we have to work at it all the time.

Psst, Medicare is for people 65+, medicaid can be for anyone as long as you meet certain criteria (generally low income or disability)

None of us should have to endure this

I hate to be rude, but she kinda deserves what she gets...

You may hate to be rude but I don't. What's happening to them is exactly what they voted for and praised. What's happening to them is exactly what they were told would happen to them if things went this direction.

I do not pity the person who voted for the leopard eating faces party and becomes a face that gets eaten.

It sucks for the ones who didn't vote that way. But, seriously... The writing was on the wall.

If only there was a system that let smaller parties still have power in government even they only got a portion of votes.

So people who voted for the smaller parties are still represented based on a proportion....

Sometimes I wonder if this is what conservatives feel all the time when they see "the right people" getting hurt. I hate it here and I hate that even just finding what small solace I can makes me feel like I'm actively becoming a worse person.

If you voted for Trump three times, then you are the rotten fruit.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

I believe in what you want to do

Like hurting minorities, not meeee

[–] [email protected] 57 points 2 days ago

"I believe in what you are doing" i.e. Firing people

"None of us deserve this" no, you deserve to be fired because you can't fuckin' read. It's a clown show.

"You're hurting the wrong people!"

Dumbass.

Two in the thoughts, one in the prayers.

What a wild fucking ride. You would think typing that all out might have turned on a light or two, but nope.

See, she’s the good kind of federal worker. It’s just the others that are bad.

Everybody knows you pick rotten fruit not fresh. Sheesh. Man, analogies are hard.

The absolute best part is her saying that they shouldn't just fire probationary employees, but they also shouldn't believe the five things in an email either.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 days ago

Well it's almost like a whole side of the government said what Trump wanted to do with the USA was wrong and bad. And people didn't listen because they fell for the words of a RICH WHITE GUY, instead of watching his actions for the last 25+ years... Consequence for your actions

Stupid HR rules! She should have been PROTECTED!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago

HR, I thought they're either woke because they fight to ensure equal application of rules, or otherwise are worthless bureaucrats? Who needs HR's protection? Certainly not someone who believes in autocratic decision-making processes!
