Trump Breaks TSA Union Agreement—Brace Yourselves for Airport Chaos
Flying in America is about to get a whole lot worse thanks to this infringement on workers’ rights.www.yahoo.com
But the media will cherrypick stories and blow them up, highlighting someone who missed their flight and lost their luggage and didn't get to see their grandmother before she died. That's how they do - ignore non-stories unless they can make political hay out of it.

I mean I get that but holy crap when you torture the language and describing a situation so much. That's b*******. I think there's a journalism rule about use of adjectives. Evidently that chapter isn't taught anymore

On Yahoo I breeze through a link to read the comments. There are bots who comment on every post that disagrees with the leftist writer. They use common names like Bob & Bill, etc. Yahoo will never clean these up.

Word has it that there a many GOV people who took the early retirement or full retirement in association with the DOGE deferment offer (basically, sit at home and collect a check as severance) that are still having to go into work because they were not prepared to handle the paperwork associated with processing the retirements.
Retirement process is now done completely on-line.
I retired at the end of Sept. 24.

Hmm... I should tell that to the guy I support that took the early retirement/deferred retirement deal and is presently sitting at his desk on PAX because he has to "wait on paperwork to be signed."
GRB. He should know what I am talking about.

Might be confusing my message.
People were offered an opportunity to retire or resign while remaining at home and be paid to do so during the process. Apparently, this is NOT happening. People who have already begun the process (i.e. completed their paperwork submissions) are having to come into the office and work/wait until their paperwork processing is completed.
That is NOT what was promised...
No clue.
Colorado ferret expert now out of a job due to DOGE cuts worries for the future of a species she's dedicated her life to
Coloradan Tina Jackson's one-year probationary period as a federal employee was set to end on March 10. But three weeks ago, she was let go from the Fish and Wildlife Service team she headed. After 30 years of working in government, she's now grappling with what's next for her career and the conservation efforts she was a part of.
Jackson knows just about everything about black-footed ferrets.
"They're a really important little creature in that they depend on prairie dogs. They live in prairie dog burrows and eat mostly prairie dogs. Over 90% of their diet is prairie dogs. So by protecting the ferrets, we're also protecting the prairie dog colonies and the other 100-plus species that depend on prairie dogs. It's a really neat little animal, and there's so many things just to love about them," said Jackson.
Recovery of the endangered species, which were once believed to be extinct, isn't just her passion but her life's work.
"They are one of those species that's on the brink of extinction. And the work that I and so many others do is keeping them from blinking out," said Jackson. "We don't want to let them go. We want to make sure that they're still here for future generations to experience."
OMG Won't you think about the poor ferrets

So this was in a much longer article. Look it up if you wish about the NIH people being let go. This one really caught my eye though. They are claiming that working on brain computer interface is not a job that exists in the private sector. Well there's neuralink in probably five or six others that are all going gangbusters on that right now. So yes, there are jobs in that field in the private sector.
Although I wonder if the statement that the NIH funded the Apple watch's ability to detect atrial fibrillation really, I can understand they have to assess it, but I don't believe they funded the development of that technology. But if I'm wrong why the hell did the government do that....

Wait... a bunch of teen-twenty somethings have access to the "Master File"?!!!
Maybe what Trump should do is build a volcano to see how many Democrats will jump in .

Yea I know a few, their last working day was supposed to be last week, but they still have to work. They were retiring anyway and just thought they would get a nice paid vacation before they actually retired. The one that took another job and moved already, not sure what's happening with him.
