I browse through Reddit occasionally, and it can be interesting. BUT - some 90% of posts in my feed seem to be from people asking questions that they could just search for online. Are these bots, do you think, or is it just the algorithm surfacing morons in order to stir people up?

Washington Post reported on March 22, billionaire Elon Musk’s “Department of Government Efficiency” has cost the government $500 billion”

washingtonpost.com/business/20 billion in lost tax revenue. This doesn’t even factor in the money wasted in lawsuits that the president is losing over illegal firings, or the lost labor of all those fired employees who are getting rehired with back pay.

OPM Memo Ending Recognition of Federal Employee Unions

"By operation of 5 U.S.C. § 7103(b) and Exclusions, covered agencies and subdivisions areno longer subject to the collective-bargaining requirements of chapter 71 of part III, subpart F oftitle 5 (5 U.S.C. §§ 7101-7135). Consequently, those agencies and subdivisions are no longerrequired to collectively bargain with Federal unions. Also, because the statutory authorityunderlying the original recognition of the relevant unions no longer applies, unions lose their statusas the “exclusive[ly] recogni[zed]” labor organizations for employees of the agencies and agencysubdivisions covered by Exclusions."chcoc.gov/sites/default/files/

No surprise: FHFA Director Pulte teleworking today from Palm Beach after declaring end of remote work at Fannie/Freddie 🤡

FHFA Director Bill Pulte is big on in-office work and in-person collaboration. While his employees at FHFA reported to work today, where badge swipes and comings and goings are being tracked and scrutinized to the extreme, Director Pulte chose to telework from Florida. This is less than two weeks after he declared the end of remote work at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the entities that FHFA regulates. Is anyone surprised? 🤡

Calling it now, 2 years from now this administration: “look at the new and improved federal workforce. “

“The best federal workforce this country has ever seen. Probably the best there ever was since George Washington’s time. I created this new and improved federal workforce. Biden tried to destroy it but I rebuilt it.” The script will flip no matter what progress was made or not made. And all will celebrate. How did I do it? By offering 8 months free pay to offload all of the people close to retirement anyways and doing it all within two weeks giving organizations no time to plan for this loss of knowledge base thereby widening the already enormous existing knowledge base gaps. Next by firing a bunch of probationaries that had no impact on the current state of government. This was crucial to making the federal workforce great again. By removing the swamp that was probationary employees. Then I rehired them, gave them backpay, and then fired them again maximizing the use of tax payers money. I destabilized what was believed to be the most stable job one could find while also at the same time destabilizing the entire economy with extreme tariffs showing that actually nothing is stable or safe. But I just repeat myself over and over again that I am making America great again until everyone believes it despite actual outcomes based in reality. MAGA

Clap out for Dept of Ed lawyers on Monday

Department of Education’s RIF’ed lawyers are collecting their personal belongings Monday between 12:00 and 1:00, at 500 12th street SW — not the main building. Can you help steer folks their way for a clapout? Right now they’re assuming no one will show up for them and planning to make their own signs 😢
