Apparently there's a conservative Lemmy community? Anyways, here's some great face eating from one of their articles they posted. (lemmy.world)

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.

If MAGA sees him as "one of them", he might get his job back. If not, he might get ruined in ways that go beyond job loss.

As if. MAGA doesn't give a shot about injured veterans. For them, veterans are just an advertisement for the armed forces, and injured veterans taint the image. Also he's a textbook DEI hire.

Okay can we stop it with the DEI sanewashing. It honestly feels like gaslighting. Anyone who worked in corporate America for the past few years could tell you that DEI placed an overwhelming emphasis on race/gender. Those HR girlies were in no way placing emphasis on disabled veterans.
