On the other hand: you don’t owe your job (or the dumbfucks that voted for this) a single goddamn thing. Go whistleblow or talk about it on 60 minutes, instead.

I mean yes.

But also: he likely didn’t have a choice. It was resign with dignity or be fired. He refused to let them acces the system and was probably given an ultimatum.

They’ve been doing the same at every agency. Musks goons are at the top of OPM because they fired the management down the tree until they found someone who would allow them run untested and unsecured systems that directly harass all federal workers.

Many other agencies are having the same thing happening but are under strict gag orders and therefore the management massacres are slow to make it to news.

I still don’t fully understand who precisely the schedule f thing applies to, but I’m fairly certain that it primarily applies to mgmt/SES employees who make up the admin hierarchies of most agencies. And this is the result.

Why bother with that when you can just directly wire the cash to the Cayman Islands?

It's all so goddamn depressing

A good president could help this fucking country in a snap. We could even keep capitalism. All we need is massive public investment. Not bullshit public private partnerships that just funnel money to corpos. The government buying things and building things. Join belt and road. Any grifter gets nationalized.

They would bitch and cry "this is communism" to which we would say shut the fuck up or we will show you what communism is.

But this is just fantasy.
