I was laid off because of DOGE contact cancellations. For me and many others iny situation a major reason we chose Federal Government work was a sense of service. I helped Veterans. Helped homeless Vets, helped Vets get better healthcare, worked to make VA more efficient. For that service I received a kick to the junk. I am proud of the service I provided to this country. This sucks.

Hey, fuck that other guy. What sort of shit human gives someone else grief for protecting their child? You do what you need to do.

It’s deeper than that for some. You could allegorically describe that awareness as the fruit of the tree of goodness and evil. Temptation from Satan and they will burn in hell if they accept it.
