The caps was auto populated when I pasted the link I'm not mad!

Whoa, this sucks. Especially since we just got a bunch of different cancers and cardio vascular disease covered in the last few years. Damn it man

[u/whatissitt → u/I_am_human_ribbit]

Call your congressperson.

[u/ZonaDesertRat]

Well to be fair, you ARE "mad" bro, you're just not yelling at us yet. ;)

So you think it's fine that 60% of the workforce was affected? You do realize these cuts aren't actually fixing anything right? It saves a few pennies in the overall budget while making it more difficult for the government to provide the services that we've paid for with our taxes.

I'm sorry you don't want to live in a functioning society I guess. Hopefully you can find an off-grid cabin where you can drop out of society and think only of yourself.

Goddamn we really need to purge this sub of the trolls after the LA fires.

Honestly, a significant amount of people like him a absolutely do believe that's exactly what they're going to do. The want to watch society burn down because they watched a few YouTube videos that make it look like anyone with a few tools and a couple months can built a sweet cabin and homestead and live off the land, and that sounds cooler than clocking in at target every morning or whatever they do.

In reality they will die before they even get a spot cleared to build their cabin. Or more likely, run off/killed by the people who either own or want that same piece of land.

Do you wake up hungry every day?  Do you have to search for clean drinking water every day?  Do you drive on paved roads to work or leisure activities?  Do you have to worry about the imminent threat of military action against our country every day?  Do you have access to medicine and Healthcare (insane costs notwithstanding?) Do you wake up wondering where you will sleep again every day?  

Don't be so fucking spoiled and soft lmao.  Our government is functional.  Sure there is shit to be improved, it always will be.  But the good ole USA is still one of the best places to live in the world and anyone that says otherwise is just looking for reasons to bitch, on either side of the aisle.  

[u/hartfordsucks → u/[deleted]]

Oh right now? No absolutely not functional (but that's the point) right now. Letting these window licking goons "burn it all down" is how we'll end up with "Yellowstone National Park, brought to you by Chevron" and oil wells on every inch of BLM land. Was it previously functional? At times, but it's become less functional since politicians on both sides decided they only represented corporate interests instead of the interests of their constituents and the country.

So tell me, what happens next after we "burn it all down"? How does that fix anything? And you're willing to "burn it all down" even though that will cause massive harm to tens if not hundreds of million people?

You realize privatization costs more right? Cuttong government programs won't save the government money. It will cost more, but i guess you are too shortsighted to understand that. Just look at the cost difference between a contract engine and a fed engine.

[u/Dugley2352 → u/[deleted]]

Nah you’re just pissed you can’t keep doing what you were doing. You’re playing g “if I can’t have mine, no one should.”

Edit to add

FTFY

[u/citori411 → u/[deleted]]

We get it, your life sucks and instead of taking responsibility for that, you're fantasizing about how you'll rise from the ashes and not be an embarrassment to your parents any more. You're in for a rude awakening.

[u/citori411 → u/[deleted]]

We all totally believe that

[u/skithewest27 → u/[deleted]]

How does this fix anything? What do you see the future looking like?

[u/Magnussens_Casserole]

But you are mad tho.
