    I haven’t heard of this one before. But the entire thing is an evil villains wet dream.

    In addition to expanding government leaders’ abilities to hire and fire at will, Project 2025 calls for a new federal database to gather information on potential new hires. The database contains people’s answers to questions on social issues, such as abortion and immigration, allowing for department leaders to easily fill job vacancies with applicants who lean conservative.

      John Oliver detailed all of this several months ago. It all seems terrifying, if they end up actually being to execute the strategy.

        if they end up actually being to execute the strategy.

        What could possibly stop them? With control of the house, senate, supreme court and white house, are there any checks against this sort of extremism? Genuinely asking.

          Incompetence and in-fighting were my thoughts as to why they wouldn’t execute

      Republicans are the only ones who will care about this database. Tell them whatever they want to hear, then Ron Swanson that cushy job hard.

        Except, being at-will means it’s no longer really very cushy.

          It’s cushy as long as they think you are loyal.

            Which means you have to be willing to do whatever they ask of you.

            At which point it becomes more than just telling them what they want to hear, but doing what they want you to do. Which in the end isn’t any different than actually believing that crap and truly being loyal.

              I’ve seen many people skate by doing very little in both the private and public sector. Think of the average person’s intelligence and realize the vast vast majority of them are employed.
