    I asked my sister-in-law who worked for the VA (retired a few months ago) about the end of the road emails, literally I asked “Hey I heard that a bunch of crazy emails went out to all federal employees, did that happen to you at the VA too?” and she went off on how everything has been nuts since trump took over and how people are being removed from W2 and made all gig workers with 1099 so they don’t have to pay out insurance or benefits or earn time towards a government pension / retirement, and how lucky she is she gets to retire before that fully takes affect and how its “all Elon’s fault”. Saying it was all Elon, and Trump had nothing to do with it, is some serious mental gymnastics… This was August of last year.
