That would be one thing.
but they just sent an email to everybody.
Many of whom were in fact top performers.
Like some of the people they fired who got caught up in this thing, people got fired just based on whether you were in a category called probationary employee.
But to be clear, probationary isn't like you fucked up and you're on probation.
You could actually be because you were promoted.
You could be a seven year veteran at the FAA, or maybe you'd been there as a contractor, but you were so good that the FAA said, we wanna hire you now as a government employee.
And even though it might've been a little pay cut, you went for it.
and you're probationary yeah and then next thing you know like you wake up one day and this this office department whatever doge is clearly hasn't like gone through and checked like who's doing a good job or who's there's no way because there wasn't even time to do that and it's like guess what you're fired yeah yeah and so that uh that alone ruined i mean institutional knowledge people who and guess what they ended up having to hire a lot of those people back um because the agencies um were crippled
I want you to be able to get up in the morning and the first thing you do is you commute to work.
And by the way, if you're on EV, I want that to be affordable for you.
Or if you're on public transit, not to get back into the subway situation, but I want you to have good public transit to get to where you're going.
And then when you get to that job, I want you to be paid well.
And if you're about to have a kid, I want you to know that you're going to have parental leave when you have that kid.
And if you don't want to have a kid, I want you to have the right to choose whatever kid, which means access to birth control and abortion and those things that give you the freedom to decide on that.
And if you already have a kid, when you pick them up at school, I want that school to be good, not having its funding slashed while they set fire to the Department of Education.
And then when you get home, I want you to be in a neighborhood that is safe and where you can breathe the air because we didn't let them get rid of the Clean Air Act.
And you don't have to think for one moment.
about whether the air you breathe or the water you drink is clean and clear, which actually takes a lot because it means the government has to constrain those actors that would make you unfree by polluting the air and polluting the water.
And then when you go to bed, I want you to know that your family's going to be fine, even if it's family like mine, despite there being some Supreme Court justice who wants to obliterate your family because it doesn't match his interpretation of his religion.
