  • Even if you set aside the bigotry and hate. They have implemented this government-wide in the most idiotic and wasteful manner.

    Over the last month, internally, federal agencies have had to waste insane amounts of employee time removing and assessing and sometimes altering/redacting, or explaining internal working documents for all the same reasons.

    Incredible amounts of government waste and disruption of work just appease snowflakes who don’t want anything to contain these words, regardless even of the context. And they had it implemented in the dumbest amd most unprofessional and disruptive manner.

    Imagine coming in to work and finding everything down or blocked internally cause of this. With no notice. And then wasting a week or two in meetings at all levels figuring out how to proceed. Only to wind up explaining how 99% of these documents don’t even fall under the context of this because they idotically did stupid fucking word searches, and trying to find out the policy so employees can get this shit behind and move forward with regular work.

    They are NOT saving the government money with their shitty executive orders or shitty doge moronic stuff.






  • Remember everyone. View tariffs as kind of a federal sales tax. Sales tax typically affect lower classes more than upper classes. It will also compete with other sales taxes at other government levels. Those smaller governments rely on it more than the federal government.

    Meaning, to grossly oversimplify, this will ultimately cost more for people with less wealth, and it will degrade your local governments ability to provide services due to less income.

    To answer OP’s question. They already have plans to pass more tax cuts for the rich (federally). That money has to come from elsewhere. This is one form of the elsewhere.





  • I was strictly speaking of the number of civilian federal employees. Yes that number was 3 million as of December 2024. It was roughly 2.8 million in 1970. It has always been around that amount, despite the population and complexity of the country growing in the 55 years since.

    It is a lie that the government is larger at least in terms of employees, and any citizen saying they feel the government has “gotten too big” is generally a fucking moron. Especially when those types typically support the abusively bloated and heavily unchecked defense spending.
