So he takes what he makes in a day.

Could have just written a check to the government, by the way, and been a hero. Won't do that. But instead, he does. They get rid of these people that... And it's not even just the veterans, Tim. It's the next generation of government employees, right? The Gen Zers or the millennials that we need in those positions, that in 15 years, we need to be the experts in Social Security.

I have a former staffer that works at DOD doing very important stuff that thinks he's going to get canned actually this week because he's a probationary person because he just started there a year ago, even though he has plenty of experience in other areas.
