Yay I can be a memes!
I was happily and gainfully employed with a federal contractor earlier this year. The Trump administration's cuts to funding and cancelled contracts were too sudden and too indiscriminate. Businesses like my former employer who could have pivoted to new income streams with minimal impacts on employment were not given the opportunity to adapt.
I'm one of the lucky ones in a way.
A lot of my laid off former coworkers had no financial cushion and quickly found themselves in dire financial circumstances. And pretty much all my friends, family, and acquaintances that still have jobs are stressed out from the threat of more layoffs coming and/or because they over worked. I've worked in stressful office environments before, so I'm pretty sure nobody's giving their best work right now.
That's the whole point. The fascist oligarch fucking filth want the underclass to be in constant fear.
Oh would you look at the time, my watch just hit guillotine o'clock.
