Opinion | Gleeful Cruelty': The Plight of Federal Workers
Briefly

The article critiques the actions of powerful figures like President Trump and Elon Musk, highlighting their indifference toward the consequences of mass firings of federal workers. It emphasizes the human cost associated with job loss, including financial instability and family turmoil. Citing personal experience, the author draws a stark contrast between corporate concerns over job security and the harsh realities faced by those suddenly unemployed, articulating a deep frustration with how these leaders treat employees as mere statistics rather than real people with lives and responsibilities.
Given the billionaires who run the government now, this is not surprising, because none of them have ever had to address the kinds of issues that all of these fired people are going to have to address.
Mr. Trump and Mr. Musk simply couldn't care less, because they have never cared about anyone except themselves, and all of their needs have been met.
I am horrified when I compare my experience to that of the plight of government workers in just the last month.
The turmoil into which these sudden firings will throw families: domestic violence, divorce, poverty, suicide.
