These sorts of tear-jerking stories make me want to puke.
I recall once--this was many months after the fact, after I returned from the socialist paradises--reading an article from November or December 1994 in Time or Newsweek, describing how the Republican takeover of Congress had led to massive unemployment among former Democrat staffers in the Senate and the House.
Well, a big****ingwhoop-de-do.
I don't recall any stories bleeding tears over other sorts of employees in other sorts of businesses losing their jobs; it's as if Democrat staffers had a "right" to a lifetime sinecure or something.
I think it'd be good for people on governmental payrolls to have to look for another job once in a while.....just as all people on other payrolls have to.
It'd probably be good for the WillyT primitive and Skippy, the now-banned NYC_SKP primitive, to work in the private sector for a while.
