(Reuters) - The Pentagon is looking to reduce the size of its nearly 800,000 civilian workforce by 40,000 to 50,000 employees over the next five years, mainly through attrition as it closes bases and consolidates healthcare facilities, the department's comptroller said on Wednesday

1. We *want* defense cuts right?

People do realize that equals job reductions I hope...

2. Yes. Those losing their jobs in healthcare should be able to find new

ones thanks to the American Care Act and the new demand for health care that it will cause.

3. Let's all continue

to live in the already outdated notion of work, income and distribution of wealth while certain factions of our society continue to profit immensely from our failure to upgrade.

What with the slithering capacity for major corporations to redistribute themselves across the planet at will, budget cuts and a most certain and growing threat of increasing and more efficient presence of automation as a replacement for our work and value, what is the alternative?

We can continue to play this out in the old mindset or realize just what is wrong with the current system in relation to all the advances and technology that have transformed the face of everything but WORK AND PAY!!!!!!!!!!!

Odd, huh? You live in the twenty-first century and use high-tech gadgets and get treated like a Serf and payed not much more? That's a good one. It will be an historical hilarity unmatched by any other time. They had how much information? Their wages stayed flat for how long? They went bankrupt mostly for medical bills? They wanted their Seniors to live in garbage dumps as thanks for all they did?

It could be a tragic, yet funny entry in the future, but we wont' even get that because major corporations will be creating a Micky Mouse history that future generations will believe after we all have laid down and let them create reality for everyone for the rest of time.

Nice job! The ultimate fuckup for all time by just a couple of generations! I stand proud with you on a dying, dystopian planet where we say, future generations BE DAMNED! Profit is all!
