…means you’re probably here illegally.
4 years ago you were living in Venezuela, Haiti, or some other Third World CaCahole.
Just pointing out the obvious. Is this directed to me? IF so I'll take a stab at explaining. I worked for the army's lessons learned organization. One of the conditions in our position descriptions for analysts beside the normal security clearance requirements is to remain in a "deployable status" IAW with state department and joint travel regulations. Pretty black and white, cut and dry. You met the standard which included physical abilities, immunizations etc. or you didn't. IF you didn't you failed to meet the conditions for employment. Everybody in my section and the organization as a whole for the most part must remain deployable, it's part of the job. IF you're not for whatever reason, and a mission comes down someone will take your place.. period. During this period for instance I traveled to; Korea, Armenia, Germany (2), Bosnia and the UKR. All of which at that time had immunization and testing requirements. Had I been non-deployable, someone would have had to take my place. Previously I had travelled to Iraq, Afghanistan, Kosovo etc. At the time I was a GS13 supervisor in charge of our organizations future ops section, responsible for planning large scale collections for contingency operations and exercises. I had 12 employees in my branch, two of which were an army captain and an sergeant First class along with a small IT section and 3 GS12 "planners". Luckily none of my folks refused the "jab", so it was a non issue in my branch. To my knowledge none have had health issues. Had they refused, I would have processed them for elimination. Because it was my job, and due to a twisted sense of fairness. In our organization of approximately 95 pax, we had one analyst refuse the vaccine and he resigned prior to being removed. I am proud of his character even if he ended up temporarily unemployed. I bet it didn’t last long, character like that is hard to find these days.

Have at least 8-10 weeks off paid, plus holidays. You should STFU about that deal. The actual producers get a little annoyed with your 'career' stats. https://www.usdebtclock.org/It's not all upside, I haven't taken a summer vacation in 25 years. Falls are pretty awesome though. Must be nice

Yeah.
Our wages have went up, our girls are costing us less.
No debt, we don't screw away much money.
So we truly make more than we need.
Almost 20% into 401k, will be after my raise, saving money and buying most of what we want.
Nothing to do with Brandon,
just the fruits of responsible money management and hitting the 50s.

Everything of consequence that you buy like heating your home, repairing your car, a load of groceries, etc. etc. would be at least 15-20 percent less expensive if trump were president. If you happen to have lots of money and this kind of stuff isn't a problem, well, good for you. Problem is that there are a lot of folks that are hurting because of this economy

The country is way worse off and my children's future is now harder to think about than 4 years ago.
Relatively speaking though, we are OK, compared to most I suppose. We are concerned but grateful for hard work, luck, the grace of God and being American.
