I object to Trump being called a cunt because that implies that he's useful or beautiful.

This is Elon's fault.

DOGE is actually just a rebranding of US Digital Services, basically the IT for the Federal government.
To repeat: Elon, the idiot who blew up Twitter's technical back and frontend, is in charge of IT services for the Federal government.
EDIT: Oh dear god.

Yep, for the stuff Elon isn't directly in control of, he's appointing basically interns and other employees from his and his techbro friend's (Thiel) companies.
Number of federal employees
1970: 2.8 million
2024: 3.0 million
US Population
1970: 203 million
2024: 340 million
All they do is lie. Federal employees make life better for all, and all they've ever seen is shrinking resources and more workload.
Fuck Republicans and fuck everyone who votes for this shit.
American lives will get worse, and unfortunately the morons who vote for this are too fucking stupid to connect dots and realize how nice their lives are with what government does for them.
Just to look at that a different way, 1970 = 1 fed employee for every 72.5 citizens, 2024 = 1 fed employee for every 113.3 citizens. Add on top of that a budget that likely has not increased proportionally, and the strain gets even greater. So it sounds like our government is able to operate half as effectively as it was in the 70s, and they think that is too much.
operate half as effectively
I think you mean double effective. Seeing as each fed needs to cater for double the populace.
We mean the same thing I believe. I phrased it thinking of how on a per citizen basis they now only have half a fed workers time they used to, while your phrasing comes at it from the employee has to do twice as much with the same resources.
I'll concede I probably was not clear in the way I intended and I appreciate you reframing my thoughts for me. 😅

Lemon; it's Wednesday
What about tagging posts with "Trump" (elon, zuck... Etc)?
That way all our spam filters will work way better and our sanity may stay intact :-)

I'm sure the public abuse won't make them more likely to quit and clear way for Trump's lapdogs
This shit would make my day.
Someone should disseminate the simple sab manual
It’s abuse of trump not the workers?
They’re probably laughing.
Does anyone know? Is it people just emailing bcast-noaa-federal@noaa.gov?
I would be curious to know as well.
