Social Jon Stewart showing why he's great (PACT act)

[fingercuffs]

You Sano’s echo?

Haha, great minds. I see you didn't bother/couldn't with him either.

You Sano’s echo?

I wasn't trying to do a "got ya" or be divisive. I was genuinely interested because I would have no problem giving that person probs for doing something like this.

It is. What an indefensible position.

Those 911 survivors and first responders need to bootstrap it Bro

Once again Republicans pretend to honour troops and first responders, but take a dump on them with policy whenever they get into power, while wrapping themselves in the flag and faux patriotism.

Its a pretty big stretch to say that eliminating probationary workforce (10% of the CDC positions) is somehow an attack on 9/11 survivors.

But thats probably going to be the tactic going forward. If any large amount of personnel are fired, then find whichever programs anyone worked on that they can get the most clicks in a headline as if thats the only thing being effected or that it's now somehow non-operational.

They could always try not cutting people from valuable programmes?

Can you tell me how the program is affected by cutting probationary employees?

When you are trying to do something with X people, you can do less with 0.9X people.

 

[Bob Gray]

When you are trying to do something with X people, you can do less with 0.9X people.

That's if more people is always more efficient. Thats not true at all.

But basically, you dont know, and you're assuming. We can make assumptions all day long, like with less funding for personnel they can divert more funds to care packages. But I can't just make that up and assuming its happening.

You got suckered by a hyperbolic headline. Cutting probationary CDC positions doest not mean theyre attacking 9/11 survivors and first responders.

It’s quite a bit more complicated than that. You’d be getting into calculus when you’re trying to optimize a variable.

You can also do more, or the same with less. Fat cutting isn't exactly a new concept.

Stewart is one of those guys that even though I disagree with politically I respect the hell out of. Also love how he's not afraid to call out the left for their own bullshit
