…obvious subervsion to our country? This is embarrassing, maniacal, and counter to policies and statements from Presidents Wilson to Biden…even further back to President Harrison if you go to 1890.

This is so obvious and why people aren’t screaming that capitulating to Russia is actually…2/3

…perform its duties, that’d save money, yes?

…service workforce. We’d rather pay more to contractors than public service employees? The red tape is there either way. But less oversight on contractors exists and who among us that has worked with contractors or has been a contractor knows anything other than the reality of missed deadlines…4/8

…contractors? I’m so serious. I’ve never asked this question and now we are in it. What work are the now unemployed Federal workers supposed to look for? Some have very niche skills that don’t apply to any other work. Is it honestly believed that contracts will cost less? See any contractor and…2/8
