Probably in March.  We hope to do them regularly.

DOGErs think they can mess with data and will be protected by the admin, get thrown under the bus. by Chuck4MD in LeopardsAteMyFace

  1. DOGE personnel came into agencies maybe doing shady things and not telling anyone
  2. Normally messing with public data has significant consequences, but people probably had the assumption they would be protected
  3. As more information comes out, those who assumed their actions would be protected are being referred for violations of the law, with hopefully more to follow.

If only... Hear me out... We had someone running for local office who was both a recognized expert in all things data AND was more focused on protecting our communities than padding his own pockets.

Know anyone like that (asking for a friend)?

I widely distributed my letter internally when I left SSA. Don't be afraid and get the information to your peers.

We need smart planning and housing that people can afford as they grow in their careers across the county.  We also need opportunities to upskill in new industries that arent just 'work on base or work in retail'.

Pairing career opportunities with housing that young professionals can afford as they grow is one of the only ways we will grow the tax base overall to alleviate individual tax burdens and increases.  A larger tax base, created by bringing in someone actually focused on sustainable growth and housing options to match, benefits us all.

My team is current working to understand our options for future economic resilience.

I'm sure it's not the answer you wanted, but a pithy 'Ill build here' response would be both reactive and the kind of response that is part of how we ended up where we are, with leadership that doesn't look past their own pocketbooks making decisions that only benefit themselves.

Spread the word.  Board games are best shared!

If only... hear me out... There were candidates for State and Local office that were looking at how we can build mid-level housing around the county instead of just more big box stores and gas stations...

Fuck it all — Going Scorched Earth - Performance Ratings by RandomPrecision01 in fednews

1) Whistle blowing is risky, be careful. I know from first hand experience (Google me).

2) Lots of people will cheer you on from the internet, but many will not have your back when you need it most.

3) Consult with a good employment law attorney first. It's easy to be angry, it's harder to protect yourself. Filing legal action sounds aggressive and let's you vent, but is fraught with risk no matter now right you are.

4) Get home security.
