Federal Employees, how ya'll feeling?

[DrBanneker]

Meanwhile exactly 112 years ago when Woodrow Wilson took office....

When Wilson came to Washington he quickly instituted a purge of African-American federal workers in Washington and around the country. Where purges weren’t possible, federal workplaces were re-segregated, often with surreal and hideous results. Even more than Wilson, Wilson’s wife Ellen, a Georgia native, was a visceral racist who was shocked to see the limited level of integration then in place in the nation’s capital. She was reportedly especially disgusted to see black men and white women working in the same workplaces and took a personal role in pushing forward resegregation in Washington, DC.


Numerous African-American federal workers were fired, in many cases by white Southern Democratic appointees. The Post Master General and the Treasury Secretary both re-segregated their departments and gave supervisors free rein to fire African American employees at will. In Atlanta, 35 African-American postal workers were summarily fired. Similarly stories took place throughout the country. Wilson’s Collector of Internal Revenue in Georgia said in 1913, “There are no Government positions for Negroes in the South. A Negroes place is in the cornfield.”


Significantly, not only did Wilson’s Southern backers see his election as an opportunity to remove the little remaining federal intrusions on race relations in the South. They also saw it as an opportunity to expand them into the North, where many believed, with some reason, they would find a welcome reception among Northern whites. Federal workplaces introduced separate bathroom and eating facilities for African-American employees. But in many cases it was simply not possible to create the physical infrastructure of segregation quickly enough or at all, a fact which lead to bizarre workarounds. According to W.E.B. Du Bois, in workplaces where black employees could not be separated from white employees because of the nature of the work, special cages were built for black employees within white workplaces. Really.


The effective segregation of the federal government continued in place for two decades before the tide began to shift in the 1930s under President Franklin Roosevelt.

Exactly.
Learn from history, or repeat it.

So you believe we should let Big Corporations do what they want, and not be held accountable for their fukk ups?

This is how a lot of people think. They believe that the company will naturally just do the right thing when history has shown that will simply not happen. These people have Stockholm syndrome or just ignorant. These same companies they complain about now they want even less regulations on them to abuse them even more

There were so many foolish people voring against their own interest this year. shyt was crazy.

Yep. It was people that I worked with complaining about how expensive stuff is but they just bought a new 80k car and other stuff too. Not knocking people for how they spend their money. But you don't have a inflation problem you have a consumption problem. If your car not is more than your mortgage and then you're complaining that you have to cut back because groceries are too high you're moving wrong in life lol

The vast majority of people do not have car notes higher than a mortgage. Y'all gotta stop gaslighting people instead of the powers that be.

It's not just the car notes. A lot of people are still consuming and buying things in this economy. Consumer spending has not slowed at all which would show the powers that be that people are truly struggling. There are key indicators like fine dining would decrease people would be traveling less or stop purchasing name brand food for store brands instead. But everything is holding steady. So people have money and the prices are fine in their eyes that's why the prices aren't dropping. If people stopped buying things the market will dictate that a price cut is in order. Everyone complains about the prices of things but you're still buying it anyway so what incentive does a company have to lower the price lol

Because things have to be bought.

Knocking people for buying name brand food? Really niqqa?

When did I knock anyone? Get outta your feelings. I'm just pointing to the data. Things do have to be bought. But if you're buying goods at the current prices that tells these companies that you're fine with the price. That includes name brands. That's why they look at the numbers from places like Dollar General and Family dollar. If they're numbers go up that means prices are too high and customers are looking for cheaper alternatives. I know must of it's going to go over your head because your feelings got hurt lol

All day threads get made in a covert way that is basically laughing and getting enjoyment off of the supposed Trump future movements.


I swear the coli got some of the most bytch ass sambos.

You know exactly when you knocked someone.

You've gone from the extreme and minute example of "car notes higher than mortgages" to telling people they shouldn't be buying brand name food.

Nothing you can say to me can go over my head because you've already proven yourself simple-minded with your initial talking point. Of course you'll run to hurt feelings when someone is talking sense and you have nothing substantial for it.

I'm happy to keep this going till 2300 because I know you're one of the more bull-headed posters here.

Pentagon fails 7th audit in a row but says progress made​

The Pentagon on Friday failed its seventh audit in a row, with the nation’s largest government agency still unable to fully account for its more than $824 billion budget, though officials stress they are making good progress toward a clean audit in 2028.

I'm a supervisor for air traffic control. We're short staffed anyway so I'm straight. Now the bargaining union members are sweating a bit. They're up for a new contract negotiations next year so it's looking a bit spooky. But the worst part is that a lot of them voted for Trump. Because prices would be lowered and immigrants or something lol

Idk what facility you work at, but I’m at a Z and about 90% of the people in my area voted Harris. The handful that voted Trump have talked big, but they are the vast minority

We aren’t getting any big raises tho, we’ll be lucky if we don’t go back to the white book (or so I’ve been told by every older guy there)

And you keep harping on statistical outliers and doing all your shopping at Family Dollar and thrift stores if that makes you smarter than the federal employees whose jobs are in jeopardy

I'm in the South. So you already know what type of they're on. It's just the good old boys that showed up with their American flag shirts after the election lol
