We encourage you to find a job in the private sector as soon as you would like to do so. The way to greater American prosperity is encouraging people to move from lower productivity jobs in the public sector to higher productivity jobs in the private sector.

Damn dude, this is so awesome, I’ve literally never been tied to this fuck through even consumption and now I have him pulling on my chains, at the best possible time cursed-woog

What I want to know is, where are the unions in all this? Unionization rates are high in the public sector, I would think they’d be fighting this shit tooth and nail.

I’ve been wondering the same thing. Last I heard from my friend who is dealing with this, the union didn’t have a response yet…

I mean the Janus decision has decimated public union funding that they haven't truly recovered from

[–] BodyBySisyphus@hexbear.net 6 points 7 hours ago

I keep getting mailers from some stupid American Freedomburger nonprofit with prefilled postcards to send to the union to get them to stop collecting my dues. One around the holidays had a Janus decision jingle on it. We'll see if they keep sending them or if the "fuck off" scrawled on it under "return to sender" sent the appropriate message.

quick question what has military ever produced? negative productivity leeches, just consuming and consuming

[–] tactical_trans_karen@hexbear.net 25 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (1 children)

We need to start framing the military as an inefficient and wasteful cost the same way they frame healthcare.

"What if the government abuses their free use of the military and they don't really need it?"

"We don't want to give the Pentagon handouts, they'll become dependent and won't have an incentive to work!"

"They're just taking they money and using it to buy drugs and alcohol!"

"Year over year there's no profit, they're always in the red! Spending all this time on indoctrination that they call "training", how hard can it be, just aim and pull the trigger!"

[–] plinky@hexbear.net 15 points 8 hours ago

It's already framed that way with 50000 toilets and whatever the fuck, just nobody has the balls of trump and opportunity to say it in debate

[–] ClimateChangeAnxiety@hexbear.net 20 points 9 hours ago

I guess this is the exception to my comment about the public sector being more efficient than the private sector. The military single-handedly dragging those numbers to the opposite end of the scale.

What’s up with conflating all government workers as intelligence operatives and military personnel?

[–] Carl@hexbear.net 15 points 9 hours ago

Plus we all know which parts of the government are absolutely not getting cut by melon-musk

That's some of the dumbest most redditor type stuff I've ever read. That man is incredible. Just a walking avatar of I can Haz cheezburger ragecomics
I'm so sorry on your behalf.

[–] nothx@hexbear.net 34 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Sorry comrade, that’s so fucking shitty…

I have a friend who is also getting these types of emails on blast and her department isn’t being very forthcoming about what the realistic expectations should be going forward.

So much uncertainty and fear across pretty much the entirety of the public sector right now… it’s really unsettling.
