  • I’m a government contractor. I work odd jobs cause i have a security clearance. I refuse to work for the Gov due to this new Presidential Administration. It’s all I can do to protest(except vote, which I did in 2016, 2020, and 20024), but I will not do any work for the Federal Gov. I know others can’t all do this, but if you turn down gov work in favor for private sector jobs it might have an impact if many contractor roles go unfilled for too long.

    Other than stand on a street and hold up a cleaver sign, not sure what else i can do.














  • This is why we need USAID. I know what the GOP thinks, that we have all this money and we’re just sending it off to other countries. But that money was doing a few things for us, it was stopping underdeveloped countries in developing into a state of Terrorism, and it was providing peaceful, democratic countries that would buy our exports.

    Imagine, just for a moment, that the fall of the Soviet Union occurred, and the only person around willing to send medical supplies, food packets, money, cloths, and retail products to Eastern block states is China…the influence a country would have over an entire region would be enormous. Same thing with Africa, and the Middle East. How horrible would it have been to have all of the Middle East in the hands of a global/economic competitor.

    We need a US diplomatic and functional presence overseas.

    I would call for the GOP to reinstate the USAID office and its workers ASAP…but those bitch-ass m’fuckers ain’t never gonna read this.
