Justifying Their Employment
There are articles all over the internet about what Musk and DOGE are doing in regards to Federal workers having to prove that they're actually earning their salaries.
First, I worked almost 45 years as a programmer writing application code before I retired. I can honestly say that other than the initial training on a new job, there wasn't one single day of my entire career where I didn't have to account for my day. Put another way, I had to list what I got done every single day of my working life. So these whining little twerps are getting absolutely no sympathy from me.
Second, all Musk is doing is asking them to justify their position. And to that, I say this: If they can't justify why they have a job, then they shouldn't have that job. If they can't prove that they're actually earning what they're getting paid, then screw 'em. Let them find work in the private sector. If they think that simply listing what you get done each day is too much to ask, they're going to be in for a big surprise once they get a job with someone other than the government.
OK, I'll get off my soapbox now.

Also, maybe all the fired government workers will move out of northern Virginia and Maryland and turn those states red.
This works for SS, Medicare, Medicaid and a host of other departmental employees/activities.
Makes me wonder about my County/City/school systems. Already found Act Blue fraud in my area.
