Government personnel received a strange request from the Trump administration in their inboxes just before 8:30 p.m. Thursday...

“We encourage you to find a job in the private sector as soon as you would like to do so,” stated the email sent by the Office of Personnel Management, The New York Times reported. “The way to greater American prosperity is encouraging people to move from lower productivity jobs in the public sector to higher productivity jobs in the private sector.”

Well, that's one way to address the issue of the shortage of air traffic controllers. In oppositeworld.

I understand the email was was word smithed by Mask and avoided official channels of authorisation. Accordingly likely to be illegal.

Also a predictable response from the yes men that Trump has employed.

 

None of them could ever do the ATC controllers job anyway. They are not competent enough and only pander to what they believe that their dear leader wants them to believe.

 

I watch sadly as the once great world leader, the USA, is losing the confidence and influence of the rest of the world.
