BREAKING: Federal judge rules that President Trump can continue mass firings of federal workers.

BINGO!
I’ve been saying that for years.
Maybe I’ll go back and dig up some of the posts.
When you import more actual products than you export, then what you are actually doing is exporting your standard of living.
The real problem with production being done in low wage countries is that it can take many decades for it to raise their standard of living their to be on par with yours, and once it does, your bad trade policy will simply allow factories to be build in different and new low wage countries.
I bet these people will not be very productive.
“Those who can, do. Those who can’t, teach. Those who can’t teach, get jobs in government.”
Those who won't work, get jobs in government.”
And all the pencil pushers can find productive jobs in the private sector.
And they will be happier than ever once they adjust. Everyone is happier when they are valuable because of their productivity.
Musk is trolling.
The DEI types who got fired from .gov are going to get a brutal awakening in the private sector.
If you met some of these folks you might change your mind.
Check out the videos of the protests—many of these folks are laughably unemployable.
Not only this, but millions of people are employed complying with stupid or unproductive government rules and regulations. Think of the entire industry of tax preparation and how it can go away if we replace it with a simpler system of tariffs. It’s not just the IRS that goes away, all those highly trained private tax accountants and all the support staff with them can shift over to positive roles for the economy. The sky really is the limit here folks!
"You eyeballin' me, boy? Er, girl? Okay, whatever you are, drop and give me25...okay, just give me a half."
If you’ve known govt career workers, especially federal types, you know the private sector is a House of Horrors for them to even contemplate. Actual production leading to (caution, dirty word ahead) profit is expected in the private sector. Filing your little interim reports using all those big words you learned at Georgetown is meaningless in the real world.
Are there many jobs for people with degrees in gender and queen studies with experience in DEI?
Just imagine this job interview:
“Tell me about your last job.”
“I worked on monitoring and providing assistance to our non-profit partners to eliminate disinformation on the Internet by dangerous extremists.”
“So it was you that took down my Facebook page?”
“Well, uh, I was just coordinating with public facing organizations like....”
“Get the (expletive deleted) out of my office now. If you want a job time travel to Nazi Germany and ask for Joseph Goebbels you freak.”
Lol.
“I wasn’t up to the standards of a completely inefficient organization.”
Echoes of that Giant Sucking Sound. Common sense
