At least 40% of staff got layoff notices and many were turned away at the front door Tuesday when they showed up for work at the Administration for Community Living, or ACL, which coordinates federal policy on aging and disability. That's according to the agency's former director under the Biden Administration, Alison Barkoff, who says she talked to multiple members of her former staff.

The agency funds programs that run senior centers and distribute 216 million meals a year to older and disabled people through the Meals on Wheels program.

They hate anyone they can't grind into paste by working them to death. The second you have been ground into paste and are no longer profitable for them to keep squeezing, they're fucking done with you.

Fucking sociopathic monsters.
