Unintended Consequences

Charlottesville

So Trump can fire everyone in the Federal government. Cool.

One of the “compacts” formerly between a Federal employee and the government is that the employee will take a below market wage in return for certain job security. That compact is now broken. Good people will now think hard before accepting a Federal government job — below market wage and job insecurity? Any talented person would say no thanks. And the Federal government requires talented employees.

What a shit show.
