It helps to know that all that doom news about government employees only applies to a small %. The rest went there with purpose and sincerity toward public service and do their best, with lots of help and training in most cases, to do the People's work.

That's what keeps me from losing it, or has so far. I know it because I saw/see it... Still acquainted with former colleagues, we discuss this a lot. I suspect we are not the only ones.
