Why are so many people upset about the unemployed federal workers? Can't they just learn to code and go to work for Google?

[Max3205]

Biden said the same thing about the Keystone pipeline workers. Pipe fitting and hacking code is pretty similar.

[D_Bone_Steak]

That concern is manufactured concern from media that's getting their government funding pulled just like those useless federal workers. Our tax dollars were even paying the BBC over in Britain. USAID was/is a shit show.

Their money is gone just now, so after no pay next payday and beyond... all that orange man bad TDS soaked bullshit is going to start drying up.

And thank God too... the fake news networks had too many people acting like retards... even on this site. It's cool to not like the guy, but the false narratives and crazy bullshit that is made up for their performative outrage just looked pathetic.

DOGE is their nightmare and I'm loving it.

[onedarkcloud]

They can get a job coding like Kamala said oil field workers could do when their jobs were taken away by Biden

[Max3205]

I wonder if Joe and Kamala are going to get in the coding business?

[onedarkcloud]

Maybe Joe if you can keep him awake and coherent. Kamala maybe when she moves her head out of her middle house and if you can shock her brain CELL to life

[Max3205]

Maybe.

[sage2021]

I think that the only people who are upset about the federal workers are the federal workers! I could care less about them.
They had to trim the fat!

[Max3205]

True.

[spearheadbt2]

I'm not against trimming the fat, but no one in the general population actually know what the federal workers are doing, let alone be in the position to recognize if there is fat to trim.

[Max3205]

setting up and paying for drag shows in Peru

[sage2021]

@Max3205
Each time I hear the list of what the USAID spent the hard working American tax payers money on now I am thoroughly convinced that the Democrats are really I mean really crazy 🤪 and insane people 🤪🤪🤪

[Max3205]

They kept this hidden from the public until Elon found out. But the Democrats are still defending it. Crazy.

[sage2021]

Thank you for the MHO 🙂🧁🌷

[NatalieKeller95]

we don't need more left wing human trash working for google or youtube, in fact we need an online putsch

[DrPepper12]

Is Trump actually

1) setting up job retraining programs

2) continuing education nite school subsidies

3) subsidized student loans

4) loan forgiveness for critical labor needs?

5) Free community college?

No? The STFU cuz Biden DID!

Here's a crazy idea: DON'T ENTER A LOW SKILL DYING INDUSTRY in a hollowed out, depressed, suicidal, poverty stricken, meth addled, no healthcare but lots of welfare region of the USA!

They're.02% of the workforce! Read that again!

[Max3205]

Fried chicken.

[ForevrLonely29]

Are you fucking kidding me? The Xiden regime fucked the tech industry. Many brilliant and talented developers are unable to find work right now. I am a software dev with 4 years of experience and have been unemployed since mid-July of last year. I struggle to hold down jobs anyways because of disability, but the job market is super saturated with developers.

[TDDMS]

I'm in engineering and things aren't looking to bright here are.

[Max3205]

Both of you need to read the entire question and description before replying.

[spearheadbt2]

What's that got to do with Biden? The job market is saturated because there's too many people for the available jobs. You can't have a billion developers, like you can't have a billion federal workers. Not everyone can do the fun jobs.

[lightbulb27]

Government is different… its a shock moving to private industry. But we are broke.

[Max3205]

We are broke but they are not.

[exitseven]

I work for the state. It was hard to go back to the private sector. I made more money in the private sector but I did not get much vacation and sick time and only 5 holidays instead of the 11 paid holidays I had with the state.

[NiBoToBiN]

@exitseven try being in the military! It’s tough working for the federal government after being in the military, I couldn’t imagine how horrible the private sector must be and I would never risk it unless I owned the company and worked for myself, by myself.

[lightbulb27]

@NiBoToBiN private industry is crap relative to govt. But that's life. people will only make that transition due to requirement.

[stupefy]

Customs and Border Protection has taken over the USAID office building. So there should be some more jobs for rounding up and deporting illegal aliens soon.

[Max3205]

Awesome

[exitseven]

Yes, or else they can get jobs building solar panels.
Just to be on the safe side they should go to the local supermarket and fill out job application form. Begin practicing by saying "cleanup in aisle 5".

[Max3205]

LOL Yes!

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

The lack of federal employees is directly related to the heightened number of plane crashes and associated deaths the US has been experiencing. I think that’s a valid reason to be upset.

[Max3205]

No it's not.

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

It is, the director of the FAA openly criticized Trump and Elon with their spacex stuff, as well as fining spacex $600k after they had a fiery explosion in the sky and he resigned after Trump took office. The man he appointed has never been in that position before and is only in an acting role until someone more qualified can take his place. The last director, among other heads of office, resigned upon Trump’s inauguration because they’re aware of his and Elon’s retaliatory practices.

[Max3205]

How long was Trump the president when accident happened?

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

Which one? The one where the plane and helicopter collided? Or do you mean the crash in Philadelphia? Or the crash that killed 3 US service members in the Philippines? Because they all happened days after Trump’s inauguration.

[Max3205]

It takes five to eight years to be trained enough to be an air traffic controller.
So tell me more about how this is Trump's fault.

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

This was all under the man he appointed to be the acting director in the aftermath of the previous director’s resignation the day he took office

[Max3205]

Do you have a clue why there's a shortage of air traffic controllers? And by all means, don't blame Lord biden. This all happened under Trump in a few days.

[KrakenAttackin]

@cupcakethedestroyer "Heightened number of plane crashes"? Are you nuts? The last commercial crash (before this helicopter/RJ goat rope) was 2009!

[Max3205]

@Kraken
She believes her idols on MSNBC.

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

His choice of director, his responsibility

[Max3205]

This DEI practice happened under Biden.

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

DEI is made to combat the unconscious biases of racism that happen in a majority white population. It’s not a bad thing and claiming that a white man lost a seat to a black man just because he’s black is nothing but a bruised ego crying out for a bandaid

[Max3205]

Medical schools are very upset because they have to adhere to DEI. That means turning out surgeons who are clueless. That means turning out Pilots who are clueless. That means turning out air traffic controllers that are clueless.

You can pretend this is Trump's fault if you want. But if you can't see the forest for the trees, then you're a waste of my time.

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

I suppose it’s not exclusively his fault no, but he has a responsibility to bear for his role in it

[Max3205]

You suppose? 😂😂😂😂

[KrakenAttackin]

@max3205. You can't argue with crazy people.

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

We all know money runs the show more than anything. Politics is meaningless in the face of lobbyists.

[NiBoToBiN]

We just lost our first civilian aircraft from a major airliner in 15 years last week in Washington D. C. quit making shit up! By the way, military aircraft crash constantly and those are all federal employees of a different variety. They’re always recruiting!

[NiBoToBiN]

You do realize that the Secretary of the Dept of Transportation, a cabinet level position appointed directly by the President of the United States, is the boss of both the FAA & the NTSB and in most situations, none of them have any experience in any kind of work related to aviation, transportation, or investigation. You don’t know what you’re talking about so be quiet!

[Dongie]

I love it! That's exactly the attitude he threw at those hard working men.

[Dongie]

"Why are so many people upset about the unemployed federal workers? Can't they just learn to code and go to work for Google?"

[Dongie]

I don't know. "Gee, I don't know. I like that. I'm gonna write that on the board for all my classes to see." Alright!

[seeyounexttuesday]

Apparently there's a bunch of produce that needs to be picked now that illegals have been sent back home. Seems like a win-win

[Max3205]

But will the ex federal employees be able to work from home?

[seeyounexttuesday]

Dang, sorry they can't.

[NiBoToBiN]

Google isn’t hiring anybody, as a matter of fact Google is letting go of a ton of people in favor of taking on independent contractors that they won’t have to provide health insurance, paid time off, FMLA, or any other type of benefits or fair wages to. It’s scum bag stuff at a whole other level!

[AnonAndrew]

There never was much demand for "coders" who'd just attended one of those short "coding bootcamps," and today that demand has pretty much completely dried up.

[mattthefatbat]

The lay off of federal workers simply don't help people here in america live better or safer lives.

[Max3205]

What about the pipefitters?

[mattthefatbat]

Pipefitters is a good profession, if done in safe and reasonable ways and for good causes, with respect to the land and communities around the projects.
You referenced the Keystone pipeline project which is a good example of a project that although helps bring oil to united states, it also isn't all too good for the environment and people living near the project. If things were to go wrong for it.
here's some links explaining more

[NicholasRedone]

Hopefully theyll reapply under the next Democrat presidential winner like 2028 or 2032

[RealMarek]

Yes, and for the time being they can’t censor us as easily for saying so, lol

[noohair]

It was what they said about the pipeline workers...

[Max3205]

Yes.

[Twalli]

Coding isn't easy and if you don't have the drive and willingness to learn, you won't.

[Max3205]

It was Biden's idea.

[Twalli]

I also don't recall Google as eagerly looking for brand new coders with no experience in the field.

[Max3205]

Does Biden know that?

[Twalli]

Does he need to, he's not POTUS anymore. Also, I wasn't looking for a job in the coding field in 2021, I am now.

[Max3205]

Did you read my entire post?

[Twalli]

Yes. So how does it feel knowing that Trump has no new ideas so he's using Biden's old ones?

[Max3205]

How do you feel about Biden's ideas? It's your turn to go out on a limb and bow to Biden.

[Twalli]

His ideas no longer have any bearing on the way this country is run.

[Max3205]

Does slavery no longer have a bearing.

[Dargil]

Because trump did it.

[blondfrog]

Lol learning to code is not that easy.

[ienjoylookingatgreen]

I don't know maybe they jsut mean

[QuietRunner]

Maybe I'll apply for that Google Job

[Max3205]

I'll come with you. I don't know how to code but I'm sure they have some pamphlets laying around at Google.

[QuietRunner]

@max3205
I have a comouter science degree and can use Gemini to help me code

[Max3205]

I have an icon on my computer that says gemini. Is that Google ai?

[QuietRunner]

maybe

[jimmy2]

It's their problem
