How many have moved on to other jobs? Will they even be able to do a fraction of what they did before?

For real, this all happened at the very beginning of the Trump Admin, it's been over a year

As was intended. Just what the people voted (or abstained) for project 2025. It was always clear they are taking a wrecking ball to any institution of the US government.

The ones who don't want to uproot their lives and families a second time, just to come back and work for the MAGA Traitor Pedophiles who are going to exploit and/or abuse them, are just going to sue, and collect a whole lot of money. Even the ones who come back are going to sue. Then we'll get another round of humiliation when MAGA loses that lawsuit, too, and have to pay millions to the people they tried to hurt.

I'm sure any job they have now doesn't pay nearly the same and has absolute shit health care
