Is there a map of federal workers?

This is the conservative version of America.

Starting to think maybe everyone should have shown up and voted in the most likely way to prevent conservatives from having power. I know that's a lot to ask from Americans.

But voting for Kamala would be bad for Palestine! Not voting was the only way to save Palestine! /s

"I disagreed with Kamala on a single issue involving two nations on the opposite side of the planet, so I didn't vote for her and held the door open for fascists instead."

Yeah, not a bright bunch.

EDIT: Looks like 10 people so far have self identified as these dim bulbs. These are the people we need to worry about come 2026 and 2028. They're going to make the same mistake again, because learning isn't in their wheelhouse.

Less bad than Trump, but non-voters don't want to hear that.

In a civilized country these things simply wouldn't happen.
Not paying an employee is simply illegal, and If what is happening in USA now happened here, we have public funds guaranteeing any unpaid employee by any employer get their money. Usually used for private companies that go bankrupt.

USA is such a shitty country, their regulation is of the caliber that would only be expected of a very poor developing country that lack resources to do better.

I don't think most Americans are even close to understanding how shitty USA is as a country. It permeates everything because Americans accept their society to be shitty, because they kind of accept a minimal government that doesn't even work.

Having a country with a two party system that begs for stalemates, and then is incapable of handling a stalemate is such tremendous lack of foresight, I bet most kindergartens are run better.

They're brainwashed from birth to believe they're the greatest country in the world. Most of them never question it. Those that do need years to overcome the beliefs embedded in their heads.

Expect the shit to hit in Nov, when funding runs out for food stampes.

[-] etherphon@midwest.social 11 points 1 week ago

This is such an idiotic game to play and so god damn harmful to everyone except a few, of course we can survive without a government for a while, probably even a few years maybe, but it's fucking vital and everything WILL go to shit without it, so it's so disingenuous to keep doing this as to prove to people we don't need government, but of course that's their goal and I wouldn't expect anything less from this bunch of Reno grade magicians.
