Summary
NASA’s chief health and medical officer, Dr. James Polk, warned employees to be cautious about displaying badges in public due to reports of harassment.
His email followed an incident where a NASA employee was confronted at a Starbucks for being a federal worker.
The warning comes amid escalating rhetoric from the Trump administration, which has criticized federal employees and pushed for government downsizing. While NASA has avoided major layoffs, concerns persist.
Polk urged staff to stay vigilant and report incidents to the Office of Protective Services.
If the redcaps have been brainwashed into now attacking NASA employees, it shows how powerful brainwashing really is. It’s bad enough that they were guided into hating federal workers in general, but fucking NASA? NASA is something I’ve always thought of as something to aspire to, but then, I’m not an anti-intellectual asshole.
I do remember, back during the Obama administration, a teabagging co-worker coming in all miffed at having seen a government truck of some kind with TWO people seated in it. He thought that was further evidence of how the country is going down the toilet, somehow, because of it demonstrating “waste” in some way. I asked a question or two and then ejected from the “conversation” (more of a monologue from him, really) since I couldn’t make sense of his ramblings.
I suspect that some hate radio personality took a dump in his skull that day with something related to how bad government is and people doing those jobs are just leeches and subhumans not doing “real jobs” - the same shit that MGT just regurgitated, by the way.
