Re: Department of Retribution

The week's question

In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Kudos to her. But what if she, and the others, had forced the administration to fire them?

Well, she was a day 1 Trump appointment. So she's not exactly an active member of the opposition. Making a statement by resigning is the old school standard response for an appointee in this position.

For rank and file civil service employees, I'd absolutely encourage staying in your position. Ditto for any leftover appointments from previous administrations.
