Youngkin: I have ‘extraordinary empathy’ for federal workers at risk of losing jobs

The Hill ^ | 02/24/2025 | Julia Manchester

[From The Deer Stand]

Did he have extraordinary empathy for Keystone pipeline workers when Biden axed that project on Day 1?

[ro_dreaming]

I don’t. They certainly didn’t care about the families of those laid off by Biden via executive order for the Keystone Pipeline. Among others.

[Iron Munro]

No mention of working taxpayers in the private sector who lose jobs every day.

And we don’t get the generous severance packages, retirement plans and other benefits that these federal employees enjoy at the expense of us working taxpayers.

Do they even realize that we exist?

In the private sector when we get laid off we just have to shrug it off and get busy finding another job.

No crying towels for us, no lawsuits, no liberal judges telling our employers we can’t be fired.

No talking heads sobbing and cursing our former employers on TV, no rants about the unfairness of it all in the newspapers.

[Paladin2]

Workers?

Most likely not or very little. Especially in the generation of American wealth.

[dadgum]

I don’t.

Learn to code. /SARC>

... empathy for the state’s federal workers at risk of losing their jobs...

The question that should be being asked is

"Why should government bureaucrats have iron rice bowls, when those of us who pay their salaries do not?"

[Vaduz]

Yes all the left act like there are no other jobs to be had.

[SuperLuminal]

His usual mealy-mouthed, pussified crap...

[MinorityRepublican]

Glenn Youngkin lucked out in 2021. Parents were angry at their boards of education so they voted red.

That's not happening this year.

[Kazan]

This should eliminate any small chance he had for being the GOP nominee for President.

[Kazan]

He’s trying to appeal to the Blue and Purple voters.

Trump created the model for that and Youngkin insists on using the RINO approach.

[VTenigma]

I’m sure he does. Virginia’s revenues are going to take a major hit.
