Summary

With Donald Trump’s impending return to the White House, federal workers in Washington, D.C., face uncertainty as he plans to slash federal employment, relocate thousands of positions out of D.C., and reinstate controversial policies like “Schedule F,” which would reduce job protections for federal employees.

His proposals, supported by allies like Elon Musk, aim to reduce what he calls “deep state” inefficiencies.

This has raised concerns about the economic impact on the D.C. region, where federal employment constitutes a significant portion of the economy.

Some federal employees are considering leaving their jobs or relocating due to fears of job instability and moral conflicts with potential policy shifts.

    Anyone who still believes the “deep state” bullshit after Trump getting reelected is too stupid to deserve the right to vote.
