Not sure if you’re a veteran but I am. I look forward to the VA being more efficient.

I disagree. We don't need more people, we need a more efficient VA system.

And you don't get there by gutting the people who make it happen.

[–] Chucklestheclown@hilariouschaos.com -5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

No evidence that those 70K people made it happen.

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Here is evidence that more people were helped by having more staff.

[–] Chucklestheclown@hilariouschaos.com -4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That doesn't show that at all. That is just the number of staff by month.

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Sorry, no those are claims. You said they were going back to 2019 staffing levels.

[–] toomanypancakes@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The first step is laying off the chaff. It’s just returning the va to 2019 levels. The VA keeps growing much the number of veterans isn’t.
