So the administrative state exists to help keep the country running, safe, and serves the people. When you break it - ‘cause you don’t like it - don’t act shocked. For the past 40 years they’ve tried to tear down what helps the middle class thrive. Let’s invest in it so it runs well & serves us all.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.

Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.

But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.

They aren’t firing for a reason.
