Which is why they wound up hiring a bunch of them back, they were so useless. When you don't understand things, a lot does seem useless. And then you wake up.

I know this post is in vain because you have shown to us all, over and over, that like most MAGA you cannot learn!

You seem to have no understanding of how governments work. There are processes in place authorized by congress!

That is how democracy works!

Civilized, sophisticated governments have processes for determining who is needed and who is not, and that authority lies with the congress and legislatures and has mechanisms for checks and balances.

What Trump did was allowed a bunch of kids to whack jobs in a Mad Max fashion.

Will Durant spent his life writing the history of civilization!

"In my youth I stressed freedom, and in my old age I stress order. I have made the great discovery that liberty is a product of order."

Will Durant

" Civilization begins with order, grows with liberty and dies with chaos."

Assuming, arguendo, that were true, they were fired because they were needed. End of story. Employees who arent needed are fired. Ask any picker in California. Businesses can’t keep nonproductive workers around even if it isn’t fault. Does a time a cook keep workers around that cannot contribute to earning profits?
