    Ah, so a couple questions to see if you’re just a fucking idiot that thinks idealism can be reality, or if you’re even relevant to the conversation.

    1. Are you American or otherwise working in the United States currently?
    2. If so, how long would you be able to survive if you were to be fired or quit and not be able to work in your same industry? Meaning you would be starting off in an entry level role probably in unskilled labor, because most government workers aren’t in charge, they’re working desk jobs to make things function or doing some sort of inspection work, neither of which usually need college educations.
    3. If you’re not American, your opinion on this honestly means very little here since you do not have experience with working in the US.

        I shortened the last sentence. The 1st point literally covers that type of scenario.

        But that’s cool. Taking things out of context on purpose to manufacture a point is literally what the internet does best.

      1. American
      2. If fired could live for a while, would probably lose home. Have lived homeless.
      3. N/A

      These are people choosing their home over their principles.
