As a #longtimefed I served under 7 POTUS. I only voted for 3 of them, but I did my job the same regardless. I took an oath to uphold the Constitution when I first joined the government and every time I moved to another office. My employer was the American people and not POTUS.

Higher level managers and administrators are already political appointees. There‘s no need to root out the “disloyal” employees. The result would be the real “deep state.”

Chelsea.Poole Thank you for sharing. 2w
Leftcoastzen I worked as a contract worker for NPS & also a NPO connected to a historical park.This is insanity. All workers I knew could have made more money in private sector, service was part of the job that made it more meaningful! 2w
Leftcoastzen They are not hiring seasonal workers for places like Yosemite & Yellowstone which cannot function w/o them. Did not catch where , was listening to NPR . They didn‘t hire seasonal firefighters so a prescribed burn to protect wild/urban interface is abandoned.It was the only window to do the prescribed burn till next year , obviously raised risk for everyone. 2w

Susanita @Leftcoastzen You‘re kind of stealing my thunder for future posts 😉 but that‘s okay! I was pleased (if that‘s the right word under the circumstances) that some of the protests this week happened at NPS sites such as the entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park. 2w
Leftcoastzen Yosemite too! It‘s been many years so probably won‘t be stealing too much of your thunder! 😏 6k IRS workers, really?! 2w
Susanita @Leftcoastzen Laying off IRS workers in the middle of tax season! WTAF! They are the weirdest mix of unspeakably evil and unbelievably stupid. 2w
Leftcoastzen I hate the thought but starting to think the goal is totally break it , declare martial law . 2w

B-A-N-A-N-A-S. Thoroughly enjoyable and frightening. Well done!

Here‘s my review for this book I just finished reading.

Here‘s my progress in this book. It‘s not what I‘m used to reading from Stephen King. I was expecting this book to be similar to his other books that I‘ve read. I‘ve read Carrie, Christine, Misery, The Shining, Doctor Sleep and IT and I enjoyed those but this is kind of boring. It‘s sweet and sentimental but it doesn‘t feel right coming from a horror writer. Will I finish it? I don‘t know. Maybe but I‘m not having a good time reading it.

TrishB A lot of his later writing is not horror. 4mo

I decided to start this book. I always want to read Stephen King every Fall but I never feel like I have time to read him. This book is different from other Stephen King books I‘ve read but it‘s not bad. I‘ve read The Shining, Doctor Sleep, Carrie, Christine, Misery and IT. I liked all of those books but I still want to read more of his books.

Well written, but rather strange story of a swamp-living family and a search for resolution after grief. Kind of blunt and somewhat off-putting in a poetic way.
Could be a little shorter too. It took me a while to read.

4⭐
⬗ While nothing about this book had me super psyched, it was still a decent coming-of-age story set in the 70s. I thought Mr. King did a good job capturing that time period.
⬗ The narration by Michael Kelly was sufficient but unfortunately, his voice was so pleasant that I found it easy to tune him out.
