Good morning ppl! It came out over the weekend that the “new” FDA grand plan to replace some key workers is to replace them with Contractors. You know what cost more to employ than a direct hire? A fucking contract worker! Isn’t this what you voted for? www.cbsnews.com/news/fda-rep...
FDA to replace laid-off employees with contractors, sources say
Steep cuts to the agency's workforce had disrupted drug and food safety inspections.

Wow we blew right by 20k. Ok then.

I’ll figure out an evening this week to try and gather a “forum” of sorts as promised. Veterans, VA employees, spouses, caregivers, partners etc.

I’ll start a thread and invite people to participate as kind of a mass AMA re: veterans/vet issues/etc.

So that absolute ass hole who misgendered representative McBride in a committee meeting is called Keith Self. Here's his phone number: (202) 225-4201

It would be really terrible if he was constantly reminded of what it feels like to be misgendered so go ahead and give Mrs. Self a call.
