Ireland probably has the most incompetent government in the Western world. We've been building a Children's Hospital since 2016 and it's still not even close to being finished. It's cost around €2.5 billion thus far. The original cost was €450 million.
So yeah, I'm a little pissed off at my tax euros being pissed up against a wall by retards.

It is by far the most expensive hospital ever built in human history. There were kids in 2016 who are now adults and therefore do not qualify for treatment there.
California's wasted billions on a high-speed rail project, that changes every couple of years. I remember seeing signs of it in the late 1990's, and the plan was to get a high-speed rail between Los Angeles and Las Vegas; and on paper, this is a very good idea. Because when the weekend hits, hundreds of thousands of people drive the ~300+ miles from LA to Vegas on Friday and then back Sunday night. Having some sort of train system would alleviate gridlock, cut down on traffic accidents, and a whole host of other problems, on top of helping mid-week tourism. Well, decades and millions to billions of dollars later; they're now looking into running high-speed rail between Los Angeles and San Francisco. No one really knows who this will benefit outside of the upper class people, because San Francisco doesn't have the tourism draw that Vegas has. So they've shifted plans, and ate billions of dollars, and have nothing to show for it, and still pretend it's gonna happen... going on 30 years.
 
I know feds irl.

They're FAT.

The accountants can barely can't tell the difference between a PDF and a JPEG.

Only around 5 people show up to their union meetings that have free food (several hundred members). I showed up as a friend, took some free food and bolted when they started vooting on things.

One time a guy literally fell asleep while explaining something on his computer. Yes, you read that right.

They're FAT.

They have full access to your social security numbers. Sleep well!
 
Goddamn they’re really retarded if they think a “fed walkout” will make the American “wake up” themselves at the grenade Trump has thrown at them or whatever.
They’ve made it pretty clear they have no idea how much the average American hates them. If musk started crucifying them up and down Pensilvania avenue there’d be a statue of him erected the next day.

feds come in two types-
1. actual genuine psychopaths who are very skilled at their job, will snipe a toddler if they have suspicion to believe he knows something they don't, legitimately scary people, usually actual field ops
2. monkey on keyboard
and the latter always think they're the former

lmao they are malding so fucking bad
Only vaguely related but I got pissed off last week because not only was some megafaggot flying his flag upside down for no reason but he also had it on the bottom of the flagpole dragging on the ground. I was nearly late for work because I was tempted to sneak into his yard and raise it.
 
Fed here, i'll admit it's frustrating losing my one day a week telework but holy shit my glowie friends are losing their minds over it. None of them will quit because trying to find a job right now is pure aids, though.
I wish you the worst of luck. You're just as much a part of the problem as they are. You openly admit the job market sucks while actively working towards the interests of a political party that spends all of its time trying to import third worlders to make it worse.

If you died homeless, I would be happy. You deserve no empathy for willingly participating in trying to destroy the nation for the sake of the Democrat party.
 
They already fucking are lmao, the gov's been leaking like a sieve for years. Need I remind you what they just last year admitted happened? 100m+ social security numbers, just out there? I'd honestly prefer Musk had control over their systems than our DEImocracy's cobbled together ancient nonsense. Instead, thousands of servers have that information.
I actually feel that the government, even when it fucks up, is able to keep my personal information safer than the incel groypers who are in charge now.
 
>feds being upset over being put on lists, stalked, investigated and potentially fired for wrongthink
fucking lol, now that's karma ain't it

that aside you guys really think all this talk about how they're gonna be AI detected and singled out as a liability and what not is paranoia? sure, maybe it is, but these ARE federal agents after all, maybe this is all a sign that they know something and we should be writing this stuff down
i think using AI to create an orwellian police state that hunts down their political opponents is just a fantasy that all feds have running in their heads when they're not working. Sort of like how every teenage boy has a fantasy about zombies showing up and killing everybody in the world except himself and the girl he has a crush on so they can live out the rest of their lives eating canned food and fucking.
 
For all the shit we give China, at least they can fucking build stuff without needing reports and committees and bloated contracts. For fuck's sake. Our government recently spent €336,000 on a bike shed for Parliament that's just two metal frames and a bit of glass over it. It doesn't even prevent rain from coming in sideways and hitting the bikes.View attachment 6946251

That is such a common source of bureaucratic project incompetence, it actually has an accepted name in Project Management: BikeShedding.
Not even kidding.
Government projects are the biggest BikeShedders - look at the Cali monorail.

Maybe but the real question is why the government even keeps all that information on-hand when they are supposed to be working in everybody's best interests. And that goes doubly-so when they're totally fine with random mexicans wandering across the border with no documentation or background checks.

And god-forbid they fucking encrypt the disk so that when random Trump-appointees wander into the server room and steal all the HDDs they still don't have any actual data.
 
Thank you.
Finally, a thread I can contribute to.
I had some more time to dig through the archives.

I think people have mostly gotten over their initial fears and are now "protesting" in asinine ways. Like reporting the OPM emails as phishing. (Archive)

Or protesting email signature requirements by making their names rainbow-colored. (Archive)

This person seems to have bigger issues than the status of his government job. (Archive)

The megathread is still full of literal tears for people who are into that. /u/FoxyRedDraign13 has some advice for those thinking of giving in.

I don't love my job, but I'm thankful every day that I don't have to listen to whining like this.
 
All these people getting fired or quitting and I'm over here wondering if I can get a government job.
Will Elon migrate government websites from away from PHP and Drupal?
Can we get a Department of Python Programmers?
Or rebuild all of the websites using some autistic new /g/ approved javascript framework?
Same brother. I'm enjoying the cope now as I'm in a stable place but a bummer that one position I was looking at that was to close in mid 2025 closed as soon as Trump was inauguration (lol). Hoping once all the fat is trimmed and dei shit halts it will be easier to get in. Will see what happens.

Still enjoying watching all the dei people freaking the fuck out though

You don't know why the government has your social security number? I'm sorry it might be delirium from being tired but this question sounds retarded.

even WHEN the government has its people's "best interest" in mind, even when it's not fucking them over as a part of some plan for power, it's like a controlling parent- "mommy knows best and you're an idiot, i know what you need, i know how you feel, i know when you're hungry or when your ass needs scratching and i DEMAND to do it for you, lest you manage to do it wrong!"
they don't trust the people to take care of themselves, the people need hand holding and that requires ultimate control and knowladge of everything there is to know, their nose needs to be in every hole

>this human-
ladies and gentlemen, government workers, the people in charge of your information, and most importantly, might i remind you, fully grown adults... talking like quirky tumblr highschoolers from 2010
 
You don't know why the government has your social security number? I'm sorry it might be delirium from being tired but this question sounds retarded.
if they actually cared about privacy there are ways to separate that from your identity, or replace it with an asymmetric key, etc. And i guarantee they have a lot more on you than just your SSN.
 
What effect will having like a majority of people in the DC area suddenly become unemployed have? i feel Trump might accidentally be causing another flint michigan, for the zoomers out there, what happened is that in the 1980s, a fuck load of retards with bullshit jobs suddenly got caught up in a similar situation where the auto companies decided to let a 3rd party come in and show all the areas they've been pissing away money for 70 years and laid a fuck load of people off, flint went from the 1970s version of Silicon Valley to the most dangerous city in the US in the 2000s. it was easier to find heroin than weed there. Not that DC wasn't also a shithole, but the areas affected are going to be a lot more because of these job cuts, it won't just be the beltway around DC but everyone in about a 40 mile radius of the capital meaning most of Maryland will just be fucked as well.

5 of the top 7 highest income counties in the us by median income are all around DC because of fed jobs and especially contractors. 5 of the top 13 per capita. and its been this way for a long time, people don't realize how much this will destroy the entire metro area. they're right to be scared shitless.
they're acting like its hard to go "hey $20 million to arabistan to teach dogs how to be trannys is not something american tax payers want!" Like it would be one thing if Musk was doing this to a company like Toyota, but this style of audit on a place that's never been fucking audited is piss easy, its like playing a 4x game on easy, just doing any move means you'll win, its like changing the oil in a car after 25k miles, no matter what you replace that oil with, its guaranteed to be a net improvement.

In a way Musk is smart to employ the youngest people, they work cheap and are motivated and can stay up for hours on end and are idealistic enough to want to try to improve society. come 2027 i'm sure Trump will have Musk or someone else do another comb through with real professionals to find the real dark money, but for right now its more about the results and getting rid of the big stuff before going all in on these departments.

the fact musk has found and published billions in tax payer money wasted already is shocking.
The funny part is that we had a real life Lord of the Flies situation occur somewhere in Asia, and the boys that got stranded on a deserted island...


... immediately started cooperating for survival and forged strong bonds of brotherhood.
the whole "everyone turns on each other" is mostly a myth, every time its tested or we have historical stories what usually happens is everyone bands together, outside of one or two bad actors. the problem is, especially in modern society the (((bad actors))) rise through the ranks and get people to think everyone is just as bad as them or worse.

Even in scenarios where they knowingly install those types, people in survival situations just isolate them/banish them and improve society on their own, in general you need a certain societal population density and squalor before (((bad actors))) can infiltrate and start fucking things up. Like in your example, a bunch of asian dudes probably had the time of their lives even on a stranded island, meanwhile if it was a bunch of kids from Birthright, they'd have killed each other before the 3rd day.
