Does hosting a fake news show qualify as a real job?
Unfortunately. And it's more unfortunate that so many people believe it.
Nah she just larping as a journalist
In Soviet Russia we just call that a propaganda officer.
Same shit in the US to anyone that has two brain cells to rub together.
Got a sharpie, a map and large boobs? You could be a famous weatherman! Al Rocker has large boobs and a sharpie and a map. I rest my case.
In their minds what qualifies as a "real job" is one that makes the most money.
I hope that every underpaid person they rely on for day to day things refuses to do anything for them, forever
...Says the talking sex doll masquerading as a reporter.
Must be a cheap model. Fox should spend a little more on their sex dolls.
I can’t put my finger on it but something about these people look like they’re wearing human skin. What polluted swamp did they crawl out of?
The lowest paid federal worker is still more important than any Fox shill
Why would a worker that is paid less be less important?
Typically because it'd be a job that doesn't have many skill or education/knowledge requirements compared to higher-paying jobs
Federal workers to Fox: "Get fucked."
I'm a federal employee and have been for 25 years.
Some years back my parents were visiting from Florida and asked to borrow a car (I had two), and I said sure. Then, later, I said something about how busy work had been, and my father starts laughing at how funny that is - and calls my older brother - so they can share a laugh about me "working hard". Both lifelong Republicans, I will note.
I was like, hey, did you want to borrow the car that my hard work paid for, or not?
When I called them out on it, they said I was absolutely correct and apologized.
You see, this story I could believe until you said a republican actually conceded being wrong, I don't know if I can believe that...
The irony that a News Anchor is telling Federal Workers to get a "real job" when she could get one herself
A Fox anchor at that. Like, you literally have a job because you're a blonde moron. Take a seat babe.
Are you saying she's a DEI?
"news"
That's a bold statement coming from a actor on Fox news
Bold card for someone who puts on makeup and reads a teleprompter for 3 hours a week.
Bold to think they can read, and aren't just ad-libbing whatever wet fart of a thought enters their head.
Every federal employee I know could easily triple their pay by going into private sector.
I anticipate we'll need to rehire them as contractors at triple the pay.
It's actually a very common right-wing idea to take anything publicly owned and turn it into a profit-driven private entity. Chances are, if they don't own that entity, someone they know does. When the contract goes over budget, you know they're enjoying the spoils.
Even if it's owned by nobody they know, at least it's profit-driven enough to bribe politicians for better contracts.
I'll hold judgment either way until I see a law repealed but I share the same fear.
That's the plan and one of Trump's buddies will get their share for holding the company that organises it all.
I've gotten some confused looks when I tell people that what Trump is doing right now is exactly what Republicans do every time they're in power. I think they thought I was defending Trump. No, I'm condemning Republicans. Every year they vote to remove my right to vote in DC and every year it's just as fascist.
Bingo! That's exactly their plan. And somehow it'll probably also have a cryptocurrency money laundering angle as well.
Agreed. And it'll be more than triple, since all the middle-men who arrange the new contracts will also need paid.
Imagine saying this to someone who works at NASA.
The moon landing was fake. Unlike all the blonde hairs of the fox hosts. These are all totally naturally blonde and wavy.
"Totally, tremendously real. Trust me, I know real. I can, 100%, totally confirm that her hair—like my tremendously great hair—is real. No doubts. Everyone else saying it's fake—they're fake. Fake news. Don't believe what the Democrats are saying. It's Hillary's fault. With all this AI, nobody can tell. They think it's fake. They think everything is fake. I'll tell you. Her hair, my hair. It's real. All real. True American hair. Didn't even need a hair dresser. Just wake up with great hair. All day. Every day."
Right back at ya bitch
Crazy that Village Idiot is one of the most coveted jobs in America.
Funny how they’ll say this to federal workers, but they won’t say shit to the military who are living the socialist dream.
Yeah, and if you ever ask a vet what they did, unless they'd been to literal war, they're going to tell you that they were basically just put in charge of stocking a broom closet and were bored 95% of the time.
Edit: just want to add that I do respect the military, and if anyone wants to tell me why I'm wrong, I'd love to hear lol
It's okay, you're allowed to not respect the military if you want.
Truth. Lol
My mom was a mechanic in the army and never got deployed. For her mandatory four years, she just fixed trucks in the day and got wasted with other mechanics at night. She says it was a job, not actual service. She doesn't consider herself a veteran because she didn't do jack shit.
One of my call center buddies was in charge of receiving requests for freight transport and asking his NCO to approve them. His NCO say directly behind him. So he'd stare at a computer screen until a request came in, turn around, ask for approval which would be framed, then turn back around and click the approve button.
They won't say shit to the military yet.
Huffing Donald Trump's farts isn't a "job."
Get a real job says interchangable blonde who wears red dresses that has been on fox since it's inception.
She had blonde dye #2 and hairstyle #4.
Self-awareness: this woman lacks it.
Dont delude yourself.
I wasn't. 🙂
So wait, is this dumb bitch expecting us to believe these people are forgoing their entire retirement for a few months pay? Or does she expect us to believe that retiring them a few months early and saving one or two months pay (basically fucking pennies) is saving significant government money? I genuinely don't know what else she could mean.
I guess that's what they do though. Throw out useless anecdotes, say it's a good thing, and let the user generate feelings based off it while having no idea what it actually means.
Right, these are likely people with fully vested pensions basically taking terminal leave above and beyond their accumulated leave. Most feds can accumulate 240 hours of leave to be cashed out on retirement. Trump basically offered people nearing retirement the opportunity to cash out 1280 hours. Much efficiency. Very cost savings.
This. And there is no way Trump will keep any "deal" that costs him money. He has literally built his business around stiffing contractors. No one should trust him or expect him to keep his word.
It's not his money though, it's ours
"Get a real job" says person to audience who view her as a walking uterus
Ah, the Fox Business brain trust peddles its economic logic—golden parachutes for public servants framed as fiscal savviness. “Get a real job” drips with the private sector’s trademark disdain for anyone not chasing quarterly bonuses. Federal work—infrastructure, disaster response, public health—reduced to a punchline in their profit-worshiping catechism.
The arithmetic is perfect: swap lifelong stability for a one-time payout and genuflect before the gig economy’s algorithmic altar. Feast on capitalism’s crumbs before the vultures pick the bones clean. When has short-termism ever collapsed industries or gutted pensions? The real crisis? A world where civil service is mocked while hedge fund carnage gets tax breaks.
Fox host wouldn't know a real job if it konked them out
Their job is discussing federal workers, who they claim don't have real jobs lmao
I hope someone punches her in the mouth.
Agreed! Making sure I receive my Life-Saving Social Security Payment is a Job for Teenagers to get their Feet wet! REAL JOBS are the people yelling at me on the TV that I can EASILY survive without!
I'm sorry, does a "Fox host" do more than just sit around shit talking and making shit up all day? Maybe they should "get a real job"
Did Fox receive USAID funding or are they all free market?
Yeah she probably services the higher ups.
Right back at you.
Even if I wanted to take the deal I'd have to work until 5/15 anyway because of the agency I work for. I haven't heard of anyone taking it around me.
That's good!
Just to be sure you're aware, Elon Musk frequently ends up in court trying not to keep promises, notably including severance pay
Exactly why I didn't take the deal.
A "real job", meaning one where the surplus value of your labor goes mostly to somebody else.
Really hoping a lot of those federal workers were active voters that were on the fence..
You think votes are ever going to matter again?
The federal government is the largest employer in the US, and I believe I read, the largest employer of each individual state as well.
Yo like, there hundreds of people without a job already. Why did she want to have the unemployment offices flooded.
What she actually said is, "...a real job that might pay you more". So it was really a dig at the employer/not the employee... and she doesn't seem to realize it (?).
