Show me the post in which I attacked people for working for the government.
Your every post is an attack on them.
Iāll research that. Itās not a hard figure to come up with, at least the maximum number. Just look at who was sent home as ānon-essentialā during the last CR battle driven āshutdown,ā and the percent who were not sent home is the maximum that could be working.
You do not seem to understand what ānon-essentialā means. When I was stationed in Okinawa every time a typhoon would come all ānon-essentialā were confined to their quarters till it passed. Who was ānon-essentialā changed from storm to storm. Using your logic everyone in the military that is deemed ānon-essentialā during a typhoon should not be part of the military.
No, itās based on what I said above. According to a website called āgovexec.comā some agencies, such as Housing and Urban Development furloughed more than 90% of their workers. Clearly that is an agency we can do without, shutdown or no.
The fact that some work can be delayed does not mean it does not eventually need to be done.
You must know vast numbers of federal workers. Could you ask some of them this: Is it considered a humiliating move to be made a supervisor of non-essential employees? Do they even know that they are supervising the non-essential? Are they just all the affirmative action promoted supervisors supervising the affirmative action hires, while fine hard-working employees like Mrs. Gator and my parents do all the essential work?
I do know a lot of Fed Workers. They are not humiliated by it as they actually understands what it means.
That wouldnāt have happened, of course. There are no non-essential operations in the private sector, since that would just eat up profits. Non-essential operations and personnel are cut as soon as they can be identified. Unless it is an industry that relies on government, of course. Then I guess they must also hire some non-essential people to meet regulations.
When I was a manager at Walmart after retiring from the Marines we had a huge ice storm hit the area and with the warning it was coming we sent home as many people as we could since they were non-essential at the time knowing that business would soon drop off and our evening truck was delayed due to the pending storm. Using your amazing logic, WalMart really did not need any of those people and should have just fired them all.
