Nick Gioia was terminated from the U.S. Department of Agriculture in February as part of President Donald Trump and tech mogul Elon Musk’s effort to slash the size and cost of the federal government.
Gioia was then reinstated and placed on paid leave after a court ruling. Now, after a second round of buyout offers were emailed in recent days to government workers in at least half a dozen federal agencies, the U.S. Army veteran decided to take it.
“For some of us, the time has come to step away before this experience completely erodes what remains of our well-being,” Gioia told Reuters.
Several other federal employees told Reuters they are taking this second buyout offer, saying that many civil servants are suffering from nervous exhaustion after three months of chaos and cuts driven by Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency.
Maybe that’s why France gets their asses out immediately when the gov’t crosses the line. They’ve hit critical mass a few times in the last 400 yrs.
some of that is for sure culture/history but America had that too
France hasn’t had fox news and talk radio spewing propaganda and hiding their roots, plus the two party system fucks us
and working mostly with RUSSIA propaganda networks, that focuses mainly on the USA. its also easy when USA is also a right wing country to begin with, makes it more susceptible to propaganda,
America has never had multiple revolutions that included beheading the aristocracies.
plenty of violence fighting for independence and later civil/worker rights
is the argument on the flavor or the degree because we don’t have royals so the literal is kinda out
America has had one revolution. France has had multiple revolutions. That’s the difference.
didn’t realize there was a minimum requirement lol
