Good grief, they just keep digging lower and lower….not a physician, but was disciplined for practicing medicine??? I’d say it’s unbelievable, but it’s become the norm for this administration.

First they came for the federal employees,
And I did not speak out,
Because I was not a federal employee

You know the rest of the poem.

Act accordingly.

Banking regulator rescinds more than 200 job offers for examiners it needs A government-wide hiring freeze is adding to a staffing shortage at the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., complicating the agency’s efforts to oversee thousands of banks across the country.

do you enjoy knowing that when you deposit money in a US bank, you won't lose that money? nice, right?

it's because bank deposits are insured by FDIC.

i don't know what FDIC ever did to these people, but apparently it too is now on their blow-it-up list:
