Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

MODERATORS
AF vet here. Big govt personnel cutbacks followed by "Oh shit!" followed by hiring expensive contractors that do half the work is a tale as old as Uncle Sam.
...that said, I dunno if there will be an "Oh shit" moment this time around: Trump is acting on malice, not stupidity. Weakening the US is his goal.
It's actually a very common right-wing idea to take anything publicly owned and turn it into a profit-driven private entity. Chances are, if they don't own that entity, someone they know does. When the contract goes over budget, you know they're enjoying the spoils.
Even if it's owned by nobody they know, at least it's profit-driven enough to bribe politicians for better contracts.
I'll hold judgment either way until I see a law repealed but I share the same fear.
