This taxpayer-funded DEI agenda gave broken people false status instead of the real help that they needed.


Bottom line.................

These people need Jesus. For Leftists, government ideology is often a substitute for religion. Government becomes a substitute for God.

In any large population, you can find people near the edge.

Hmmmm. Guess they should have taken the 10(?) month buy-out offer while they learned to work productively.

I’ve been fired, laid off, lost jobs because of buyouts, and just plain quit bad jobs, but never went into depression! These people are in serious need of psychiatric help, if there is such a thing..........

Trump’s fault! Trump’s fault! No, they had severe mental problems and should have been in a facility. At no time should they have even been in a job or around other people whom at any minute could have taken out along with themselves.

This reads like it's from the Bee.

Of course, a life in pursuit of virtue-signaling uselessness will do that.

Umm, these are evil people. DEI = institutionalized racism.

Why unhappy about this? Evil folk are getting just what any bully deserves.

Celebrate it.

From money for nothing to no money, too bad.

I was laid off from my first real job by Reagan but all I did was get another job.

There are people who have real anxiety/depression disorders.
Many try to self medicate with alcohol.
Then they may try various pharma drugs in the the form of antidepressants.
Some respond to those and can live a productive life.
Others take the easy way out.

When you are looking into the abyss, sometimes the abyss looks back.

The psychiatric "profession" made them what they are molding the teachers that raised them on a steady diet of positive reinforcement for no accomplishments.

My former electrician buddy was an Air Traffic Controller.
He got fired by Reagan. Went back to school and became an electrician.

Said the very same thing - for different reasons.

True. They’d be out on the fire escape if someone just turned the A/C too low or misgendered a co-worker.

The federal employee system created these people.

Making it ridiculously difficult to get rid of the dead wood sends the message to federal workers that they can almost do anything without repercussions.

And now the reality of what they thought would never happen.....they had a couple of opportunities to take a buyout and opted to pass it up......kinda hard to have empathy for that.
