So Trump, who do you want to fire?

[rightwinger]

VA employees caring for sick veterans?
Agricultural employees assisting our nations farmers and fighting Bird Flu?
FDA inspectors making sure our food and drugs are safe?
IRS employees processing 2024 tax returns?
FAA employees keeping our sky’s safe?
DoD employees procuring military equipment for our troops?
DOT employees building new infrastructure?

Do you know what these people do that have been getting fired? Or are you just knee jerking because your corporate masters told you to be upset?
Fact is, you dont know. You dont know if its useless jobs or important jobs.
They are supposedly trying to clean shit up, and you freak out, but didnt give a damn about the private sector during covid.
Disingenuous bootlicking dumbfuck.

It's insane, I just read that USAID has now aborted several projects that were focused on thwarting the production of Fentanyl by Mexican criminals.

Based on readily available data, one hour of a typical federal worker's time costs about 48 dollars, not including office costs etc.

So half an hour of a workers time costs - this is real measurable cost - 24 dollars, lets say people need about 30 minutes to sit down, read Musk's email, check it's relevant to them, identify the kinds of tasks Musk wants, review these and itemize them and draft a reply email.

Musk's email states: "...all federal workers will shortly receive...".

There are 2.3 million federal workers in the country, therefore 2.3 million people must respond (or resign by not responding)

So at 24 dollars cost per person, Musk's request will cost the US taxpayer a minimum of 55,200,000 dollars that's the amount of money wasted here and all prompted by a single drug fueled tweet.

The replies people send are useless, utterly pointless and useless and to read them all even with ten people, would take at least one minute per email which equates to 3,800 hours for each of the ten person team. That comes to each member of Musk's team spending the next 95 weeks reading the replies, let alone checking them for correctness and so on.

So in addition to the $55,200,000 cost of all the workers, we have a team of people (less than 10 I am told, but lets be generous) each paid by the federal government, each of wehom will spend the next two years full time, processing the replies.

Ten people (so called "DOGE" team) at $100,000 per person salary, spending two years on some activity = $2,000,000 dollars - tax payer dollars and all for absolutely nothing, no material benefit whatsoever.

Yet look at the trumpanzees here! They whine about waste of public money and applaud a man who's wasting public money !

VA employees caring for sick veterans?
Agricultural employees assisting our nations farmers and fighting Bird Flu?
FDA inspectors making sure our food and drugs are safe?
IRS employees processing 2024 tax returns?
FAA employees keeping our sky’s safe?
DoD employees procuring military equipment for our troops?
DOT employees building new infrastructure?

Like Republicans, Trump is incapable of sound, responsible governance.

Trump’s failed, wrongheaded agenda will only bring harm to the American people.

It's called cutting the fat

There is not one government agency that isn't bloated and wasteful

In the VA? Trim administrative and hire actual caregivers

Acting President Musk is using a Chain Saw to fire people. His mass threatening emails apply to everyone regardless of how critical his tasks.
He is firing ALL probationary employees without concern of what thety do.

How about the ones getting paid, but have other jobs, for starters.
How about those who don't do any work?

There are many Federal employees that are "deadwood" that can be dismissed.
Private industry purges 10% of the workforce frequently, the bottom 10% of performers.

You have to examine the whole animal before you cut the fat.
Acting President Musk is killing the whole animal and then claiming it was all fat

Musk is brilliant and knows how to reduce costs. Look at Twitter and "X" as an example. Musk turned that badly run company around.

 

[rightwinger]

You dont know what he is doing. You are just doing what you are told, like a good little pawn.

I do know exactly what he is doing which is just to fire people without looking at how critical their jobs are and what type of performers they are

Read the OP and decide who you want fired
Musk does not care

We saw how good Joe and the Progs were. We all had fun. A good time was had by all.

He's a ketamine addicted dick, see my simple cost analysis above.

When you've read that please explain how wasting $52,000,000 dollars of tax payer money, qualifies as "reducing costs" I really am eager to see you explain this, how getting 2,300,000 workers to waste time, is efficient.

They can easily be rehired.

Ok
How do vets file for benefits, how do they request treatment, how do new vets get registered in the system, how do you care for VA facilities ?
