What this means in practice is a return to the very corrupt system we had before there was a professional civil service, in which the winning party uses federal jobs as a means of rewarding supporters.

I mean, if I’m being honest and having worked with and for career civil servants, there is a dire need to cut red tape and get people fired and make it easier to hire again within government agencies. Some of the dumbest, most out of touch tech illiterates run local government here.
Just… probably don’t trust the way Trump would handle it. Replacing bad with corrupt is not what I have in mind.
On the other hand, stability is the main draw of any government job. Without the guarantee of continued employment, most people wouldn’t want to put up with the lower pay and extremely slow career advancement prospects of government work.
So who will they hire? People who can’t get any other job, e.g. even more incompetent people.
So I’m not sure where you’re from, but the feds don’t run local governments in the US, with some exceptions in DC.
It’s more a general statement of local, state and federal. Government workers never seem to get fired. Then again, that might not be true in some states and counties, so who knows.
Yeah, that’s the whole reason not to ever vote Republican.
Probably because government pays the worst of any field, and gets worse the more local you get. Unless you’re an elected official where you can abuse the position for financial gain as much as you please.
