Yep. Whoever came up with the idea to allow government workers to unionize was an epic idiot.

Fire ALL Federal workers, ban unionization from public service positions forever, and rehire essential personnel from people who actually want to work for an honest day’s pay. At this point, I rather have a bunch of unemployed, hungry recent college grads running the government than the entrenched thugs we’ve got there now.

Fire ALL Federal workers,

Well, thanks for your support. I am one of those federal workers. I help keep the B-1B Lancer flying. I have done so for the past 22 years. Prior to that I was an Air Force flying officer for 15 years. So I have been sucking at the government teat for 37 years. I could be making twice as much working for a contractor, but I would feel a little guilty getting that pay for the same work.

P.S. I am emergency essential. I will work even if it is possible without pay. Did that when Clinton shut down the government. We did get paid, but unlike the nonessential workers we did not get an extra week paid vacation. I am not complaining, but those are the facts.

I agree.
His greatest claim to fame was getting himself assasinated.

JFK

But it wasn't legislated.
It can be terminated just as easily.
