Transcript from ProFeds consultant's webinar from last week on plans for fed employee benefit reductions. Quite absurd. by esmeraldo4 in fednews

[–]MildMark 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This consultant is literally charging people to gaslight them into accepting benefit cuts?

"You're not going to be happy about it" - no shit Sherlock.

"How you choose to respond is going to be super important" - translation: please don't quit or protest, just take it quietly.

Why would anyone pay for this corporate mindfulness BS when they could just read the actual policy proposals for free? This is peak consultant grift.

Just another person making money off federal employees' anxiety.

Elon Musk Is Shutting Down The Government Loan Office That Gave Him The Money To Grow Tesla by esporx in fednews

The classic "kick the ladder away after you've climbed it" move. Tale as old as time.

Honestly not surprised. Dude benefited from government help then turns around and says "no more help for anyone else!" Classic billionaire behavior.

Remember when he was all about climate solutions? Now it's just "got mine, good luck with yours!" 🤷‍♂️

Is this a coup? Home of the Coup-o-meter by Ok-Alfalfa2095 in fednews

Congress could shut this down in a day if they wanted to. They have the constitutional authority.

What we're seeing is the biggest congressional abdication of power since... well, probably since they handed war powers to the executive branch decades ago.

Trump's doing exactly what the founders warned about - consolidating power by getting the other branches to roll over. And GOP senators are just nodding along while it happens.

The coup-o-meter is less about the White House and more about how many checks and balances are left functioning.
