Hanna Hickman, a now-terminated worker for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, told ABC News the last four days have been a roller coaster.
"It's scary," said Hickman, who was fired last Tuesday. "I had a real moment -- I was at CVS the other day and ... it kind of came on me all at once that I might not have health insurance in a few weeks, and that really hits you. I think it underscores the fact that we're just regular, middle-class people, just like the people we're trying to serve."
Good riddance, I know I for one was not benefiting in any way from the CFPB, probably the opposite
ReplyDeleteNah. Their employer, the US government, is under attack by We The People. The billionaires are merely our agents.
ReplyDeleteShell
Oh thats good.
DeleteWhat ? You didn't divert and stash away some of the $$ that the CFPB extorted from banks ? Go see Faux-a-hontas, maybe she'll share some of her grift from the pharmaceutical industry.
ReplyDeleteF*ck'em. F*ck'em and make'em eat fish heads. The Fed Gov needs to be much smaller, and this is a prime example of somebody that isn't 'serving' anybody except themselves.
ReplyDeleteIronic that the unelected bureaucrats that parade as law givers are complaining about an unelected billionaire firing them from their unelected position.
ReplyDelete^^^^ THIS!!!
DeleteWORD
DeleteIf we in the private sector aren't immune to it, why should .gov employees be?
ReplyDeleteSo, she had no problems when billionaires (Zuckerberg, Soros, Bezos, etc) got her chosen candidates elected, legally or otherwise -
ReplyDeleteLearn to code, muthaf#@kers!!!

You took my response....Fuck 'em!
DeleteTimes 85 million, waa waa waa. FO.
Delete'we're under attack by billionaires'
ReplyDeleteHow sad. Yes, Soros made quite a mess of this country.
With a lot of help from Gates and Schwab etc
DeleteMaybe the CFPB should have focused on actually protecting consumers. It's ok, we have a lot of job openings around here. All our construction projects suddenly ran out of workers. Maybe they should apply. I'd like to see the house that these do-nothing bureaucrats could build.
ReplyDeleteJust stay back, when it collapses you don't want to be close.
DeleteWelcome to reality, cunt.
ReplyDeleteThere are openings in the French Foreign Legion. Benefits include free health care, food, lodging and free travel.
ReplyDeleteDon't forget the free retirement home if you don't mind living in France.
DeleteIs that why they were such fierce fighters? They'd rather die than live their last years in France? LOL
DeleteShe is called a "worker" in the article. She is a flippin' lawyer in that agency. She will just have to go back to chasing ambulances for a living.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with that; she's not as young as she used to be and amb-lances are faster than in the old days.
DeleteThe unmitigated mental denseness of these federal employees and NGO employees is amusing to watch. They've spent the last 40 years in safe little positions drawing paychecks off our tax dollars while suffocating our economy and making the middle class an endangered species. No empathy for the real working people of this country.
ReplyDeleteNow it's their turn in the barrel.
It's difficult to bribe a billionaire.
ReplyDeleteAn attorney who doesn’t understand the word “Probationary” is probably a lawyer ya don’t need on staff……
ReplyDeleteAnd there it is; Were people too. We have families too.
ReplyDeleteScripted to tug on your heart strings, Mr. & Mrs. America.
Sadly, our fellow countrymen have been taught that a .gov job is from cradle to grave and cannot be eliminated. The reality is that the new sheriff ain't playing no more. I feel bad for the individual, but not the overarching apparatus. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteThese asshats are not "our fellow countrymen" the government employee works less and is paid 50% more for the same level of expertise as the private sector. I've been a private contractor who worked for the government. I did tuberculosis testing on dairy cattle when Michigan had an outbreak back in 1999. I spent 1/4 of my time working for the government and 3/4 of my time working in my private practice. I tested 4 times the number of cattle in 1/4 the amount of time as a friend who worked full time for the government doing the same job. I don't give a fuck about these government bitches most are not employable in the private sector because they are too stupid.
DeleteYawn, pack your shit and GTFO
ReplyDeleteJD
Dammit. Where'd I put my tiny violin?
ReplyDelete"...we're just regular, middle-class people..."
A middle class lawyer? Really? You want my sympathy Mrs Ivy League? The median household income in DC is 35% higher than the rest of the USA. If you were "serving" anyone then A) your income would be 35% less than the rest of the USA and B) your job title wouldn't be "senior litigation counsel".
"...just like the people we're trying to serve."
Lady, no one believes the scam anymore. Look at any Fed bureaucracy and you see 80% and higher Democrat party membership. The other 20% are RINOs. You only "serve" yourselves by voting to rob me of my wealth at gunpoint.
Lady, you have never once produced anything of real value. You are a burden carried by We The Producers for far too long.
Get bent lawyer woman.
Nothing says “we’re fucked” quite like a bureaucracy filled with public employee unions full of lawyers. Imagine having a drop of sympathy for a) public employee unions or b) lawyers.
ReplyDeleteAnybody representing We, The People? This is definitely what I voted for, and it far exceeds my expectations. MartyB
Look at all the people who lost their jobs because of the Covid Mandate.
ReplyDeleteNo one shared any tears for them
But who is going to protect my consumer finance? I feel so unprotected now.
ReplyDeleteBut who is going to protect my consumer finance?....Says the wolf at the hen house door.
DeleteI've been both a govvie and private sector employee. Even as a govvie I was never sure I'd have a job at the end of the pay period. As a private contractor I found out I didn't have a job when I walked into my office and found all the furniture gone and our project manager collecting our ID cards. Sucks to be you bitch.
