Employment changes due to Trump's election.
Trump's election has changed employment boundaries for many people; from:
return-to-the-office reset,
to staffing issues due to 'immigration reset'
to government efficiency adjustments.
Workforce dynamics is entering a new matrix.

Federal workers
Many Federal workers who have been home-based since COVID are unhappy that they will have to report to the office now. No comments, just an acknowledgement.
But I wonder what percent of these folks are introverts.
And yes, the reorganization of the Federal government means some people will lose their jobs.
My condolences. However, if all Americans suddenly became health-conscious, how many fast-food restaurants would close, and those workers would lose their jobs?
It's odd to have a job that shouldn't exist, like people who pick up highway litter, when litter
should never be thrown out the car window in the first place.
Every cultural shift brings also creates a shift in workforce dynamics.
Yet, the affluence generated by efficiency in one part of life, will engender prosperity in another part of life and will create jobs in those sectors.

School teachers
A lot of schoolteachers in sanctuary cities are raising a fuss, saying they won't let ICE into their schools. I have trouble believing that a people-group who advocates aborting their own,
and believe in child-sex would be concerned about immigrant children. Let's look at
sanctuary cities - to see if these schools are being weaponized for other purposes:
1) States and cities receive certain funds according to their populations.
With abortion depopulating large cities and blue states, and with the results of Blue-Flu
(people abandoning blue states), blue leaders look for ways to replace census funding.
Illegal immigration seemed to be an easy fix to keep population numbers up.
2) States are allotted a minimum of one seat in the US House, and one for every 747K people.
Blue states with high abortion rates are depopulating, or not populating as fast as pro-life
states, which means fewer House seats for the Blues. If states are able to turn illegal
immigrants into representation numbers, no wonder they value illegal immigration.
3) Each school district gets a certain amount of money for each student enrolled.
More students mean more money for a school district.
Enough immigrant children may create a need, for example, for three - 4th grade classes
instead of two, in a particular school. This means another teacher and another
teacher's aide. And those funds would also help other areas of the school.
Immigrant removal then, eliminates the need and the funding for one teacher and one aide.
So, part of this angst over deportation is not compassion, but job security-concerns
by teaching staff. To see a complete picture of any situation, follow the money.
Though it is difficult to get reliable, complete and balanced information from the internet;
it seems that Chicago Public Schools has 325,000 students, about half of them are some type of immigrant children, with nearly 47,000 employees of all kinds.
If - 1/4 of Chicago school students are from illegal families, then CPS would have 11,750
extra employees, after an immigration-retrofit. *

A Chicago school superintendent salary is $104K per year.
The Mayor of Chicago salary is $216K per year.
The Chicago Fire Chief Salary is $95K per year.
The HR Office Chief salary is 98K per year.
The Illinois Governor salary is $177K per year.
VPOTUS salary is $235K per year.
POTUS salary is $400K per year.

Worker shortages and DEI
Massive illegal immigration places a burden on many government-based services:
> healthcare
> police, courts and prisons
> welfare
> school systems
> etc.
These demands create staffing shortages.
As illegal immigrants are sent home, the demand will wane.
Worker levels will tend to balance toward the pre-immigration demand.
Recently, in an effort to keep positions staffed, less-qualified candidates were hired.
"New Jersey Democratic Governor Phil Murphy passed Act 1669 as part of the state’s 2025 budget in June to address a teacher shortage, Read Lion reports. The law went into effect on Jan. 1, 2025. Individuals seeking an instructional certificate will no longer need to pass the Praxis Core Test, a basic skills test for reading, writing, and math that is administered by the state’s Commissioner of Education. Candidates still do, however, need to pass the Praxis Subject Tests that are specific to their degree." *

Once the immigration numbers match legal requirements, and organizations move toward merit-based hiring, we should expect to see staffing-churn in these sectors, especially those organizations who were fully immersed in DEI practices.
Sidebar: When supply and demand scales balances out, and meritocracy triumphs over DEI, you will see these staffing disasters settle down. You will also see lower housing costs and lower grocery costs. And cars will cost less. But not overnight.
After all, it takes one healthy hen 13 days to lay one dozen eggs. Give it some time.

In a true democracy...
I've said in another place here - Jim Crow was a real democracy.
In a democracy, if your Presidential candidate doesn't get the most votes,
then your vote never really mattered, and you lose your voice in the Oval Office.
Ask older black folk about that.
A lot of Harris supporters expected, after November 2024, to turn OFF the Trump volume.
So naturally, they feel like their volume has been turned off.
We are a Constitutional Republic, which is 'segmented-representation'.
We have never been a democracy, though many people regularly inject the word
'Democracy' in their speeches about the US. Nope.
In the House of representatives, each Representative represents about 761K people.
In one segment of only one State. That's pretty amazing. Each section of the nation has someone to speak for them.
And in the US Senate, Each State has 2 Senators, no matter each States's population or geographic size, or its material contribution to our Union. This brings a semblance of equity,
no matter a State's size. Each Senator's true job is to speak for the benefit of their State,
not of individuals or groups within that State. For when the State ship is in smooth waters,
its citizens will benefit, even if they don't agree with all the particulars.
Each State has priorities that need to be tended to.
For example, offshore fishing boundaries aren't obviously important to us in the Midwest,
yet fishing boundaries are a big deal to coastal states.
Therefore, fishing boundaries are a part of a strong union. So, we work together to make each part of America as strong as it needs to be, so our union can be strong.
In Congress, either a Senator or a Representative can introduce (sponsor) an idea -
to become a law. Someone thinks someone or something needs to be enabled or needs to be controlled. After internal processes, if it is approved in that chamber*, it goes to the other chamber for approval, and then to the President for signing. And if the new law is sued,
the Supreme Court has the option to judge its Constitutionality.
A lot of people would feel less victimized if they understood more about the different types of government and the pros and cons of each type. I think ours is the best, when properly and bravely managed.
* The US House of Representatives and US Senate are each a 'chamber' of our US Congress.

Federal service limits...
I suspect the Federal bureaucracy would be more limited if there were a 20-year limit on Federal employment. And 20 years total Federal employment - not jumping from one
Federal job to another.
We would need to discuss if military veterans would be exempt from this requirement,
since military people better understand the chain-of-command.
This would apply to every level of Federal employment, from Department Heads to custodial.
Why not give more citizens an opportunity to enjoy Federal employment?
Let ex-FBI agents and other people with valuable skillsets, cycle into State or local law enforcement, enriching local police departments.
If at the end of one person's employment, the person didn't need to be replaced,
then simply erase the position.
And perhaps there should be a 20-year service limit on companies that subcontract to the Federal government for goods or service, eh? And lobbies need scrutiny too.

Meritocracy vs DEI
It's Super Bowl Sunday, 2025.
I was alive for Super Bowl I, in 1966. The photo is what halftime looked like on our black and white TV, with an antenna attached to a pole that stuck up above our roof.
What makes the Super Bowl, or any other championship so special?
It's because it is a CHAMPIONSHIP. Finding out who is the best of the best.
What if Super Bowl contestants were chosen by DEI instead of their win/loss record?
What if team starting positions were chosen by DEI, eh?
Pro sports would go bankrupt and the World Series would look like 5-year-old T-ball, eh?
The Super Bowl and every other championship is a meritocracy, proving who is the best.
This is good.
It is good for sports.
It is good for consumers.
It is good for taxpayers paying for, and citizens receiving government services.
