    This has happened so many times it must be on purpose. Something like those who come back are likely to be more desperate than those who decide to leave and therefore less likely to get in their way.

      The goal was to destroy the government, and this achieves that. I don’t want to encourage people to sacrifice themselves, but returning back is the only way to prevent the total destruction of the government.

        When you have cancer, chemotherapy is the only way. Going back to feed the cancerous cells will increase the fallout of the damage.

    The damage is already done. You have proven to those workers that you’re not an worthy employer.

    Even those that do come back will be looking for a new job while collecting paychecks.

      This is not an DOGE problem. It’s an Elon problem. See: Twitter firing the only people who knew how to keep it running and Tesla firing the profitable supercharger team

      It is an approved maxim in war, never to do what the enemy wishes you to do, for this reason alone, that he desires it.

        The goal is to demoralize and ultimately fire these people.

        This is all just the first steps before the debt ceiling talks next month. People need to seriously learn to look forward a week or two or three.

      They were put on Administrative leave for 4 weeks so the weren’t fired yet. They would have to quite themselves at this point

    Fucking stupid cunts in the gov’t. Get fucked, traitors. We will survive their fucking bullshit. Worse for the wear, but America will live on.

      What ever you say, chief. Is this the America you want? Even the frazzled, frayed, bullshit afterward will have higher prices, poorer healthcare, a dumber populace, and a complacent set of people who have lost hope.

      We need a true revolution with meaningful reform. Sitting back and letting it ride won’t be enough.

        To be fair they didn’t say sit back and letting it ride.

        There is also a limited amount any person can do and for some they do have to ride it through.

        Do let us work on meaningful reform!

          Revolution does not mean violence. It means change. Even Thomas Jefferson said we need a revolution every 60 years.

          However, to your question, yes. What else is worth fighting for?
