Ah, so you acknowledge that some people who were hired to federal employment during the Biden Administration may have been competent?
Then why fire them merely based upon their hiring date?

Re: Boeing Starliner 1st Astronaut Flight
You do understand that sometimes people get fired for no fault of their own, right? Like when the federal government adopts a policy that kills many jobs. You know, like Biden did with all the people employed to build Keystone XL. If there is bloat (and clearly there is), whack ‘em and rehire if needed (on merit).

It’s quite unfortunate that Kamala was not elected, as her plans for pricing controls and increased minimum wage were instant job creators. Guess we’ll all learn the hard way now!88BuckeyeGrad wrote: ↑Wed Mar 19, 2025 11:22 pmLike when the federal government adopts a policy that kills many jobs.

That stupid move has nothing to do with Biden’s hires.

So what?
Millions of competent people that performed very well are let go in the private sector every day, for purely business reasons.
The gubmint has been bloated for decades now.
These federal employees have had it too good for too long.

Re: Boeing Starliner 1st Astronaut Flight
In 2024 the US National Parks set a record for visitors. This was done while working with a 20% staffing shortage. And now this administration wants to cut over 1,000 employees as well? And firing employees with stellar work history for "poor performance?"Sven Golly wrote: ↑Thu Mar 20, 2025 6:28 pmSo what?

Democrats Begin Spray-Painting Swastikas On Dolphins
TALLAHASSEE, FL — After a pod of dolphins arrived to greet the returning NASA astronauts brought home by SpaceX, outraged Democrats began protesting the dolphins' actions by spray-painting swastikas on them and setting them afire.
Democratic leaders and their voting base, infuriated by the aggressive act of the dolphins inquisitively swimming around the capsule after it splashed down off Florida's coast, vowed to make sure they were all identified for that they are — Nazis.
"We now know where these extremist MAGA dolphins' loyalty lies," said Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. "This disgusting grandstanding with Donald Trump must be stopped. These astronauts have been safe and well cared for in space since last summer. There was no need to recklessly bring them home to see their families. And to top it off, they were greeted by dolphins who have clearly aligned themselves with Trump and his ‘MAGA' voters. We thought dolphins were our friends. We do so no longer, and advise true Americans to show their protest accordingly."

Who is firing anyone who had "stellar" performance for "poor performance"? You are reading too many biased, handwringing, leftist rags.
If the parks could get by on a 20% staffing shortage - and who by the way - defines such a shortage? - then another 1K mouth-breathers won't matter.
Go back to reading your Highlights Magazine you child.
