A "real job", meaning one where the surplus value of your labor goes mostly to somebody else.

Really hoping a lot of those federal workers were active voters that were on the fence..

You think votes are ever going to matter again?

The federal government is the largest employer in the US, and I believe I read, the largest employer of each individual state as well.

Yo like, there hundreds of people without a job already. Why did she want to have the unemployment offices flooded.

  1. Take control of the system
  2. Abuse the system until it breaks The system no longer functions, as expected. This prevents the system from leaking revenue
  3. Claim this broken system is unnecessary junk
  4. Remove the junk
  5. Repeat as necessary Logical conclusion: total destruction of money leaking service sectors without firing a single person. Avoid payouts related to severance because everyone "quit." Save any costs those services were spending.
  6. Profit

What she actually said is, "...a real job that might pay you more". So it was really a dig at the employer/not the employee... and she doesn't seem to realize it (?).
