Hey Dems...
I remember when Ole Joey told all the unemployed coal miners to "learn to code".
The only encouraging thing from this is that it's clear the left have not learned from this election and what's happening in the culture. I feared they may learn and adapt (at least to our faces) and be more appealable to the middle class. But clearly they're doubling down and haven't learned a thing.Ag87H2O said:
The legacy media can do hit pieces and complain all they want, but President Trump is doing exactly what he was elected to do.
The swamp complaining about their current circumstances and difficulties falls on deaf ears after 60+ years of unaccountability, disregard for the public good, and constant waste, fraud, and abuse of taxpayer funds.
Time to pay the piper.
And even with 8 months pay, you don’t see how folks are still uncertain about surviving? What if they don’t find work after 8 months? What if they have to relocate, switch their kids schools or even take them out of private school.

Layoffs happen in the private sector all the time. Gov't workers believe they are entitled to a lifetime job.
Happy to hear you popped back in. The job market today is an absolute **** show. I know from experience.Pizza said:BadMoonRisin said:

Same here, but in March of 24. I spammed applications, took the first job that came through as a stepping stone, and then found a job that worked.
Setbacks happen, and those folks can complain all they want imo as long as they're actively looking for a job. Otherwise they're just *****ing.
Yep. They've been doing similar with the agency cuts. Citing the original mission of the agency and boo-hooing and sob storying about how "this aid to Africa children" or "this funding for special ed kids" is getting cut while willfully ignoring the massive fraud and waste blinking red light story which is the reason for DOGE to begin with.ts5641 said:
Classic MSM move. Anytime a Republican administration cuts anything, cue the sad stories.
Biden is certainly fair game for *****ing about what he did or didn't do, but there were sufficient stories, if you paid attention, to know that stopping the pipeline construction stopped only about 15 full time jobs in the U.S. and around 35 in Canada. The rest of the 10,000 or so jobs that were cut were to be temporary workers on the job 4 to 6 months each as the pipeline made its way through several States to its stopping point.Funky Winkerbean said:

I'm guessing you truly don't understand the full economic impact of shutting down that pipeline.Quote:

Or long time loyal employees in the private and public sectors, as well as members of the military, being terminated because they refused to get an experimental "vaccine" that was completely useless, at best.Funky Winkerbean said:

My response wasn't about addressing economic impact, only whether various media had said anything about potential jobs that hadn't happened. Those 10,000 jobs would have resulted in a lot of what became unrealized salary along with ancillary income from support resources (restaurants, motels, etc.) during construction. What would have reduced that impact though is that since those were only ever to be temporary jobs it's no different than any number of potential jobs that didn't pan out so contractors just look for other projects for their workers. Impact? Certainly, but not the huge loss some like to think it caused.CDUB98 said:I'm guessing you truly don't understand the full economic impact of shutting down that pipeline.Quote:
