Text from article:
David Rice, a disabled Army paratrooper who has been on probation since joining the U.S. Department of Energy in September, also learned Thursday night that he had lost his job.
Rice, who has been working as a foreign affairs specialist on health matters relating to radiation exposure, said he’d been led to believe that his job would likely be safe. But on Thursday night, when he logged into his computer for a meeting with Japanese representatives, he saw an email saying he’d been fired.
“It’s just been chaos,” said Rice, 50, who had just bought a house in Melbourne, Florida, after he got the job.
Rice said he agrees with the Trump administration’s goal of making the government more efficient, but objects to the random, scattershot approach being taken.

Their first rule says:
So... is it really a conservative community?
That's a good point, didn't they want to make it illegal to be against racism?
That's not contradictory to conservatism itself, only to the way it's represented in the USA (and a few other countries, but in many countries there's a right wing party and a center-right conservative party)
I can’t tell if this is leopard eating face, or dog getting nose rubbed in. That sub has always been very tolerant of people contradicting the narrative you usually see fostered on social media. Was it co-opted by non conservatives? Maybe? If so good.
Conservatism != racism
Frankly I'd love to see more non-racist conservatives on Lemmy! If we want the fediverse to replace big tech, we can't be a left wing echo chamber
But yeah, you can't be a dick
Does that really mean anything though?
If you asked Trump himself if racism and bigotry were bad, he’d say yes. Then he’d go on to sign anti that hurt minorities and marginalized groups.
