Text from article:
David Rice, a disabled Army paratrooper who has been on probation since joining the U.S. Department of Energy in September, also learned Thursday night that he had lost his job.
Rice, who has been working as a foreign affairs specialist on health matters relating to radiation exposure, said he’d been led to believe that his job would likely be safe. But on Thursday night, when he logged into his computer for a meeting with Japanese representatives, he saw an email saying he’d been fired.
“It’s just been chaos,” said Rice, 50, who had just bought a house in Melbourne, Florida, after he got the job.
Rice said he agrees with the Trump administration’s goal of making the government more efficient, but objects to the random, scattershot approach being taken.

There is not a conservative community on Lemmy. There are, however, a few communities entirely composed of one guy posting conservative leaning articles that all get downvoted to zero and have a half dozen comments saying he’s wrong.
I love that so much…
They all fail at game theory. When being negative, everyone loses. Tit for Tat + 10% forgiveness is the most successful and highest growth potential. T4T means you are always nice, always positive, and when someone is negative, you respond in kind but randomly forgive 10% of the time to exit the stupidity spiral. Most world leaders know and operate under T4T now that it was established as the only path to maximal growth for everyone. Failing to apply this when everyone else is applying it will ALWAYS result in bringing everyone down but the most damage will ALWAYS occur to the perpetrating entity when all others are playing T4Tpt.
So what I’m hearing is, we should forgive 10% of the magats?
I “forgive” them by not punching them in the face on sight.
Forgiveness is for you. Any benefit they get is a by-product.
I avoid getting sued, arrested, or fired by not punching them in the face.
You are arguing that you should forgive them, so that you are not at risk of punching them in the face.
That’s why I put “forgive” in quotes in my first post. I know I’m not using the word correctly. That’s the joke.

A disabled federal government worker who supports Trump. You have to be a special kind of clueless to be in all of those camps.
Did he think being a veteran would protect him from the fickle judgement of the guy who famously called dead and injured soldiers “suckers and losers”?
DEI allowed people with disabilities to work in government. This dipshit Trumper MAGA fuckwit thinks he was immune. Fuck him. Hope he gets everything he voted for.
That’s because they think DEI just means black. As usual they don’t know what the fuck they are talking about
DEI is the safe n word now.
That’s because Trumpers conveniently forget to mention the “A” in “DEIA”. The A stands for “Accessibility”. As in, accessibility for the disabled to actually be able to do their jobs with reasonable accommodations. If you kill DEI, you also kill accessibility.
Generally speaking disability rights has adopted civil rights language in its activitism so it’s also part of diversity. And equity… And inclusion.
This is the first I’ve seen of a conservative Lemmy community. God willing it is the last I see of one as well. At this point I unironically believe Lemmy needs a healthy amount of tankies so that right-wingers know they’re not welcome here~ ❤️
That’s mean to say but I’m trying to switch over from Reddit and I’m honestly just so done with MAGA stinking up every damn space it’s insane, I don’t want them to even breathe in my direction. With RFK Jr as the recent pick for the Department of Health and Human Services, I just might need to enforce that boundary literally.
Reminds me of this
