r/fednews: What will regulatory attorneys do if the CFPB/SEC/etc. are gutted?

I thought it might be a troll but OP deleted after screenshots started going around rightoid social media.

What will regulatory attorneys do if the CFPB/SEC/etc. are gutted?

I work in federal benefit law. If I lose my job, I can't just hang a shingle 15 years post graduation and practice - they're dismantling it as we speak. I have no idea what I'll do if I get fired, and I expect to be.

But then I realized, they're gutting financial and corporate regulations across the board. Thousands of government lawyers have lost or will lose their jobs, but where will they go? If there's much less regulation, that means fewer attorneys needed, and law firms and corporations will likely have massive layoffs as well to compensate for lack of business.

That's a lot of unemployed attorneys. 2008 but worse. Where will we all go?

I'm unironically fine with Trump clearing the way for his biggest supporters to get continually fricked by 4 years of crypto scams.

They should go work for the public defenders office. Unironically. Every single one is short staffed and these regulatory parasites could actually do something that gives back to the community.

As long as they stay out of my practice area, they can go anywhere they want :marseyshooting:
