VA dismisses more than 1,000 employees in line with Trump's sweeping layoffs https://t.co/yVr5GnapFK

— Fox News (@FoxNews) February 14, 2025

The Dept. of Veterans Affairs is getting layoffs https://www.military.com/daily-news/2025/02/25/these-are-human-beings-va-fires-1400-more-employees-it-considers-nonessential.html and there are already reports of their phones not being answered due to a lack of staff.

It's okay though, nobody actually cares if these racist gun nut chuds don't get their undeserved neetbux I'm sure all the homeless vets are really happy with Trump!

I need help organizing....please

I have been fascinated by the Holocaust since I was a kid. Every time I see the shoes of the victims in that huge, endless pile it's a knife to my gut I would like congress to see a visual representation of what they are doing to us I want to literally invite them to "put themselves in our shoes." By piling.pairs of shoes representing all the people they are hurting, or in cases like mine quite possibly killing. Baby shoes, work boots, old lady shoes, worn out grandma house slippers, a trans woman's shoes that make her feel beautiful, all the shoes. And pile them on the Capitol steps to represent us. I am too darned sickto organize it myself but I think we seed to find a focal point that represents us all. Almost all of us wear shoes, even amputees. So it's inclusive What is happening in this country affects people from all walks of life, even if we follow different paths. We need to come together. We need action, focus, unity and a reminder of how much we have in common. To pull this off we need:

a dump date, the day we do this protest/art installation.

People to get the word out

Collection sites

People to pick shoes up from collection sites

Storage pods

People to transport the shoes to DC

People to pile the chores on the steps

Coverage,

Is anybody willing to take this protest and run with it?

guys i have this great idea! but i need someone else do all the work for me

Bro is really hating on a foundational human instinct. Dancing is as inherent to humans and culture and civilization as language and music and art. (286)

Which is completely irrelevant...Music is foundational to human instinct, yet there is lot of trash music.Art is foundational to human instinct, yet there is a lot of trash art.I hate dancing too, but it doesn't change the fact that there's a massive difference between a well-thought choreographed dancing (and I'm not even talking about classical or slow, even salsa or tango looks great) and whatever shit is happening in social media and club where people are throwing their limbs around like they're having a full-on seizure, when they aren't just showing their butt.

OP, if you are seeing enough cringey tiktok dance videos then it's on you bud. Most of us dont see those videos unless we actually search for it and engage with it. (1619)

That's just it, I don't even have tiktok 💀 (-41)

Basedness: 🔥🔥🔘🔘🔘

Seems like they were making a joke and not actually implying there is no other reason to hate dance (48)

Probably, but that's my pet peeve (I should make a post about it). I hate those kind of joke-ish comment. People think they're being smart but it just looks like they're trying to dismiss/belittle the others with random shit. (-38)

Angriest Comments

Angriness: 😡😡😡😡😡

I think the line is very far into the "let people live their lives and shut up" territory. I don't care what clothes people do or don't wear. If being drunk keeps you from doing your job then don't do it, otherwise I do not care. Don't harass kids. Be as fat as you want, not my business.Shame is so negative on the individual that it's rarely justifiable. (3)

But it is justifiable in certain circumstances, you would agree.Harassing children warrants shame. Bullying the vulnerable warrants shame. Stealing (when you already have enough) warrants shame.There are things that SHOULD BE shamed & discouraged in our society, because if everyone did them regularly, society would collapse entirely. That is my point.But in all cases, the one being shamed only suffers from the shame. They do not benefit from being shamed, but we all benefit from existing in a society where others have been shamed into compliance with these norms.I understand you believe shame should be used sparingly, and I agree. The individual should live a life without shame in order to maximize joy and happiness. (3)

Angriness: 😡😡😡😡😡

I upmarseyd your post OP due to agreeing with the title, however your reasons are cringey at best.I hate dancing and find it silly, but I can at least appreciate a good dancer and the art that it is. I'd rather die than dance, it just doesn't make sense to me. I do not feel rhythm, I've always been bad at clapping along to music. When I go on a dance floor it's like existing in a country where you don't speak the language. Yeah, you can pick up some words, but until I know the entire language I'm just fumbling around. I'm not standing in that country saying their language is stupid because I'm incompetent.There's so many different forms of dance, just because you see people twerking doesn't mean that Ballet is butt-centric, breakdancing isn't either, most of the forms of dance probably incorporate some moves where it involve a butt, but for the most part it's probably going to be fairly tame, depending on the music.Dance fighting even exists and it's not just shaking your butt at each o...

Angriness: 😡😡😡😡😡

Shame should be reserved for things that are actually harmful. Outside of that, shame is only negative. (5)

But where is the line?Is it harmful to walk outside naked? Or to make an inappropriate joke around kids? Or to get drunk before your white collar job? Or to be morbidly obese?All of these things are considered shameful in our society, but an argument can be made they aren't directly "harmful". Do you think it should be so normalized that we all do all of these things all the time?As I said, shame is only ever really negative for the individual. That's true regardless.You can argue that too much shame is bad for a society, too, and I fully agree with that. But too little shame is bad for a society as well. All things in moderation. (1)

Where are the laid off feds supposed to work?

I am all for increasing efficiency and not tolerating poor performance (to be clear, I think those cases are uncommon), but it seems to be that a slower, more measured approach to reducing government size would've been more effective. I am genuinely confused when these huge swaths of people are supposed to find employment - especially when the private sector / contractors are also doing layoffs.

What is the plan? We as a country also can't sustain a significant chunk of the population being out of work…

Probably in the service jobs mass deportation will free up. Literally, that's the only thing I can come up with and it's grim.

I don't see anyone doing that.

They will when times get desperate enough. Isn't that the Trump administration goal?

I would! My friend owns a contracting company and I offered to just carry stuff and pick up deliveries and maybe over time learn a trade.

Work is work and I still have a mortgage to pay

And they will stop buying things their middle class life enables them to buy, which will hurt local economies. Sorry, car dealer and restaurant and clothing store.

So you going to have hundreds of thousands of highly educated people making minimum wage at a five guys?

That is absurd. I would have no reason to go on living. Really predict this admin will result in a significant increase in suicides.

I'm not sure these establishments are a good match for folks with security clearances and expertise in their fields.

They're not. They're not supposed to find work. This is meant to be punitive and punishing to Feds and to those fired. Musk and Trump want to destroy the government as we know it. They don't care if these people can't find jobs or if the unemployment numbers go up(which they won't bc they'll be rigged). They don't care about the country or its overall wellbeing.

Seriously, look at a second degree nursing program. By the time your fork money ends you will be close to finished.

I left nursing to work in the government. It's fine but you have to be prepared to work overnights. That didn't work for my family so I had to leave the profession. It does take at least a year or two to get trained. A lot of hospitals these days will want BSN at a minimum.

Education. Teachers have been fleeing in droves.

That's because the same people tearing down our government have been attacking them for decades but have really amped it up since the pandemic.

We have a huge doctor shortage, but federal aid is unlikely to pay for med school moving forward. This isn't about shifting professions. It's about punishing people and making us willing to take any level of abuse in exchange for a minimally acceptable paycheck

naija doctors soon dey japa

Who wants to teach armed children for $50K a year?

I'm a lawyer in private practice and need to hire paralegals. Those jobs are in demand. Professional skills may transfer from government jobs. We pay well in legal.

Same

How much do you pay paralegals?

My backup plan is to drive a school bus. Seriously.

did Trump just solve the bus driver shortage?

I am going to try to find a job at a bakery. Baking is a big hobby of mine, and while I can't earn no money at all, I don't really need to earn my former salary, since I am married.

Walmart managers can can make over $200,000. Walmart promotes from within Walmart prefers to hire college graduates to these positions but many many people which is high school degrees get promoted to Walmart managers if they have the right hustle.

Getting into education might be hard, because you have to compete as a new teacher with more experienced teachers for those juicy admin roles where you answer emails and don't fricking teach

There are plenty of admin openings at gatehouse, along with school based roles and FCPS has a provisional licensure program. It might not be viable for people

Making GS 13+ money but it's definitely not school based only

I'm aware of the provisional program. I went through a very similar one in another county. It took me a year, several licensure exams, student teaching experience, and 9 credits.

And those admin positions… you'll be up against the many teachers fleeing the classroom right now. They have education experience on their resumes and understand the field well.

Probably in the service jobs mass deportation will free up. Literally, that's the only thing I can come up with and it's grim.

Right... how am I supposed to pay a mortgage on a service job. Also, a bit strange you would even want someone in service with a PhD in physics.

I kind of wonder what the enrollment impact will be on our public schools when families find themselves unable to afford private tuition too

That's one of the positive outcomes in my opinion. Private schools locally will tank, there are too many anyhow, and when you have educated parents reinvolved with public schools they will flourish.

Plus, super easy to become a substitute teacher to make a least part of the money to pay bills.

Um, I think they just want to spend less on tuition

And they will stop buying things their middle class life enables them to buy, which will hurt local economies. Sorry, car dealer and restaurant and clothing store.

Not just those. We decided to cut down groceries and limit gift giving, trim vacations, etc. It's literally a ricochet to everyone

>trim vacations

when i was a kid vacation was going to grandma's house for a week, but dc urban moms go on vacation and come back bitter and unrefreshed when they notice women in Paris, France, are skinnier than them. "it's totally cigarettes at least I won't get cancer"

a tangent....

In April of last year, DC Urban moms had a panicked 22 page discussion about Disney World changing their Autism line skipper policies to be more strict. It was one of the most pressing concerns that week on DC Urban Moms.

DH is "dear husband" he has some kind of spergery that gave him special Disney World privileges. I don't know what the acronyms are. Disboards is the very active Disney forum, for Disney Adults who plan their Walt Disney World® Resort trip 18 months in advance, and talk about it every single day to other Disboard members.

back to the sneeding...

How many feds can afford to send their kids to private schools?

There's a lot of tuition daylight between St Albans and some random storefront "classical" school and I suspect a lot of families are stretching to send their kids to both.

So you going to have hundreds of thousands of highly educated people making minimum wage at a five guys?

That is absurd. I would have no reason to go on living. Really predict this admin will result in a significant increase in suicides.

That's your choice.

Wow!! Zero empathy. What happened to you to make you this inhuman?

empathy is when capitulate to suicide baiting

Anyone who has ever been friends with a suicide whiner knows how unsustainable this is

I'm sorry if you were struggling. I certainly never mocked anyone.

You do realize these illegal firings will just lead to more struggles for everyone, right?

DP. This may not land the way you want it to. A lot of us can't afford house cleaners, car detailing, lawn care, travel, and home renovation. Those are luxuries. So cutting back on that stuff simply takes you to the lifestyle many of us are already living.

This isn't a zero sum game, Sandra. Your persecution complex is the problem — not other people.

I work in the private sector, in a white collar job that has had layoffs. Do you think laying off the government employees will help the private sector folks?

I understand why no one has sympathy for you as you seem to be a nasty individual.

This- it is all connected. We should be terrified of the impact not giddily gleeful.

NP but if one has so little grit that a job loss would make them commit suicide and leave [their spouse, kids] holding the bag then… not much sympathy.

I am highly educated and if I had to, I would hold my head high and do one of those service jobs, be thankful someone hired me, and know there was probably a light at the end of the tunnel once the admin changed.

The admin is not going to change, fool. We are living through the end stage of American democracy. Wake the F up.

Not when everyone in a specific region is laid off and tightening their belts. Restaurants will have trouble staying open as well.

All those "service" jobs mentioned earlier will struggle to stay in business and will layoff too. Who has the money for those places when they are not employed? I've already cut them from my budget.

Not just those. We decided to cut down groceries and limit gift giving, trim vacations, etc. It's literally a ricochet to everyone

No more house cleaner, hair salon or landscapers for us.

WAIT YOU GUYS HAVE HOUSE CLEANERS AND LANDSCAPERS???

No more house cleaner, hair salon or landscapers for us.

Same.

Trump plan is for fired Feds to replace jobs vacated by the deported illegals. Not a joke. He thinks fired Feds will have no choice after the unemployment benefits run out. People have to eat and need shelter

I'm curious where your concerns have been for the last four years. Throughout this time, anyone who wasn't affiliated with the federal government has been shouting from the rooftops that white collar jobs were getting cut, and people were suffering as a result.

I'm guessing you were among those saying that Tysons II was crowded and that the right-wing individuals were just stupid and lazy.

For the past four years, the DMV bubble has been told that jobs were scarce and budgets were tight, but we were all ignored.

There has been zero sympathy. And I have none to give in return.

DMV I think stands for: DC, and Maryland, Virginia (the parts next to DC)

It's time to think outside the box on income options.

For example, if you have a spare bedroom in your house, consider renting it out. I am divorced, and my kids are grown. As much as I hate the idea of a roommate, I would consider renting my two spare bedrooms as a last resort.

Other options include childcare, respite foster care, eldercare, substitute teaching, and dog walking. Many of the solutions will lie in the entrepreneurial realm.

childcare - agree, but there will be much less demand if these Gilead commanders get their way and less women are working

respite foster care - funded by who?

eldercare - hope Medicare holds up during the collapse

substitute teaching - no way, they are cutting school funding all over the place. We are less than 5 years from them putting 100+ kids in a room with a recorded curriculum. Maybe 1 or 2 minimum wage room monitors... or I don't even want to say this but "cell block" type rooms where guards video monitor multiple rooms and only intervene if there are problems. Sounds crazy now but schools have becoming more prisonish for decades and i guarantee cutting teachers and using tech in its place is on the docket.

Dog walking - with what disposable income? Again, more women at home. Some work here but trust that in the long vision, women are back to doing (even more) free domestic labor.

How much do you pay paralegals?

Np, and same question. I was a federal paralegal for 13 years. I enjoyed the sedentary nature of the work.

I can't find the bottom of the seethe

thanks again, Trump voters.

https://media.tenor.com/O50rZhU6Z8kAAAAx/kid-oh.webpa

Any teachers in your family? Dept of Ed funding cuts already have schools talking about how they'll need to lay off teachers and make classrooms bigger; special needs or ESL teachers lol that all counts as DEI now.

I'll finally have to join an MLM pyramid scheme and work my way to the top!

some DCUM posters are already in MLMs but unironically (They are mormon fedwives and cannot get a 9-5 job for religious reasons)

I thought you all wanted to be retrained to install solar panels. It's what you suggested last time major layoffs occurred.

what's this a refrence to

Let me see. After earning a Ph.D. and and 20 years into a successful career in government contracting, I can work at Costco during the day which won't pay my bills (including the childcare I will need to work at Costco), get a nursing degree at night, and then be a nurse for half of what I currently make. Sounds great.

What about server positions? Easily $40-$50 per hour.

In a few months, no one will be eating out.

it's over

It is a sad situation. Have any of the feds who voted for trump and now got laid off realized they shouldn't have done it?

Feds have been whining for weeks now about how little they make. Yet when given everyday jobs that are similar pay they turn their nose up at the ideas. This is why people don't respect you anymore.
