2. They are firings and not layoffs.

3. Crashing your economy to enhance theirs. Very psychopathic.

4. Or just eliminating some that are not necessary, only time will tell

5. “This has been slash and burn,” said Nicholas Detter, who had been working in Kansas as a natural resource specialist, helping farmers reduce soil and water erosion, until he was fired by email late Thursday night. He said there seemed to be little thought about how employees and the farmers and ranchers he helped would be impacted.”

   Is this what Trump supporters voted for?

6. Good 👍
