I’m wondering if this guy in a previous life was the author of the history textbook I had in 4th grade that claimed that slaves were better off under slavery than they were being free.

Hey, asshole. How about you going without a paycheck for a couple of months and then reporting back? Oh, and no cheating by drawing from savings or borrowing.

The new poster child for sociopathy.

  • Poverty = “Liberty Debt!”

  • Hunger = “Freedom Pain!”

  • Homelessness = “Patriot Lodging!”

  • Death = “Breathing Relief!”

Boy, doesn’t this guy look like he could use a steaming pile of National Park trash dumped on his shoes?

This F’ing a55h@t is as ignorant as his boss. The biggest reason so many federal workers take a bunch of time off around the holidays is because they are in use-or-lose status with regard to their leave. As for it being a wash because now they DIDn’t use that leave, that’s just unmitigated BS. First, they’ve likely just spent a bunch of money on holiday presents for their families, which leaves them with bills on top of their normal bills, Then, if they were in use-or-lose status with their leave, now they don’t know for sure that they won’t forfeit that leave, in addition to potentially losing their income. Both income and leave have to be restored, and the excess leave has to be officially approved to remain on the books. That’s why it’s called use-or-lose. God, I hate these people and their assinine “winning.”

That’s not what my history textbook said, but I grew up in NYS.

That’s just appalling. I’m sorry.

This was in Virginia, I’m sorry to say. Even at the age of 10, I knew there was something profoundly wrong about that claim.

Good for you! (I sort of guessed it was Virginia. :smile: )

The Trumpian approach is to hurt folks…and gloat while you’re doing it… after all, the people you are hurting are the little people, in the wrong party.

Or relying on wingnut welfare. Asshole.

So what about the 400K people who had all of their Christmas leave cancelled and were forced to go to the office instead?

And the rest didn’t get a ‘free vacation’, they had to hang around near home checking in regularly in case things opened up and they were recalled on short notice or, as has been happening, they also got called in as newly-essential employees.

Fucktard (which is an insult to fucktards, I know).
