@Charity You didnt understand your sources correctly. There are not 2.3 million being let go. There are only 2.3 million total federal workers, not including postal workers who are in a separate classification as the USPS is independently operated.

Your sources actually say 75,000 accepted voluntary buyouts. Another 220,000 probationary workers (on the job <1yr) are targeted to have their jobs eliminated.

Per the above USA Today article ...

There are another ~500,000 being looked at for possible cuts.

Keep in mind .. There are federal court law suits filed challenging ALL of the federal job eliminations.

Virtually nothing you stated about the articles you posted links to is correct. Maybe you need a new hobby? I don't think this is your thing.
