These salary numbers are SO OLD. GS5 is like, 40k minimum?

The GS payscale is public data. GS is adjusted every year and each position is adjusted for the cost of living for the area. Each GS rank has "steps" which, most people start at step 1 and get raises based on yearly reviews

Here is the public listing for 2024: https://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/pay-leave/salaries-wages/2024/general-schedule

Their wives also left them and they couldn't figure out why.

Lmao.

Thank you for the thorough reply!

I'm not a website administrator so I'm out of the loop. Other ways to manage bots? Like what?

This is the message of the enemy. I am not sure what there is to be done, but to say this:

There’s nothing that can be done.

is to give up. The only thing that we ordinary people can know is that the democratic party is unable/unwilling to form an effective resistance right now.

This book sucked. The typesetting and format gimmicks were totally wasted on it. I did like the celebrity cameos.

The comic is pretty funny though.

Hmm gee why would anyone post articles that are vaguely negative about the Democratic establishment. Right now they're fighting the blatent corruption going on in our country by doing:

Don't forget all the things they did to protect federal workers like:

But of course you can't forget the ways they got popular policy enacted when their man was in office. Policy like:

There's an avian flu epidemic forcing the culling of birds. Should we save the CDC/USDA/FDA? Nah, silence from the democratic party.

There have been terrible airplane accidents. Should we get more staff for ATC and make sure the FAA has a director in a time of crisis? Nah, silence

Should we allow anti-intellectuals and political agents police the language of science? Should we stop them from purging completed projects and scholarly papers? Nah, silence

Should we do something about a madman firing 12 inspector generals without following process? Nah, silence

Anything to protect career civil servants, keeping our government running and providing services to the people? Nah, silence.

But the CIA front is where we draw the line.

yea honestly? it's funny as fuck, legendary prank. Oh no a dead bear in central park oh noooooo

Hear me out: what actually troubles me is his opinions about vaccines. Strange take, I know.

These are public service workers who are having their jobs taken from them. People are losing pentions. Some departments will have all employees laid off and remain in name only (because it takes an act of congress to disband some departments)

Think of who maintains your parks. Think of who provided nessisary demographics and statistics to businesses and universities. Think of who runs GPS and weather satilites. Think of who tests your water and air. Who tests your produce, meat and drugs. The IRS got this letter as well. Their "customer service" branch is probably getting the axe. Who will you call if your tax return is stolen?

The reality is life will worsen for the average American due to these layoffs. This is a rug pull on the public by the billionaire class.

They didn't send it to the secret service or the boarder patrol or ICE. I think also the post office didn't get the letter.

I wish there was some shaudenfruede to be had, but there is none.
