Where to hire the feds

I hear people claim Bessent said that the furloughed Feds are going to learn to thread screws and hammer rivets. I am calling FAKE NEWS. Bessent's actual words: labor that we need for the new manufacturing.

Professionals, as they say, talk logistics. A Federal office guy can slide into an office role in a manufacturing company - they do have offices, close to the factory-floor. In fact a lot of the complaints from our warehouse men is that they've been warehousing cheap sh...stuff from the Third World (and from Chinese prisons), and are acksing what to ship now. I imagine some of the Feds have an idea as to their supply-chains. Supposedly we're going to be linking new chains. Maybe some of these Feds can help with that.

I am not saying it is easy work; this isn't my area of expertise. But it is assuredly paying work, and there are those clearly looking to hire that work - which they need to start paying for. And as a matter of principle and, indeed, self-interest I am not up for telling people to starve on the street just for supporting the wrong politics.

As far as, oh, Burge goes: keep in mind he didn't vote for any of this, should you find yourself in his dumb xeets.
