N = 1, but I have friends in the US who lost their job because of the recent budget or grant cuts or whatever it was. They are very much non-tech normal people and considering options to emigrate. So yes, there are real people being affected by this.
- gottorf 2y ago> They are very much non-tech normal people and considering options to emigrate Normal people don't consider leaving their country over losing one job.
- SpicyLemonZest 2y agoIn many cases it's not just one job. NIH grant funding, for example, remains frozen with no explanation of when it's going to restart. If I were in biomedical research I'd definitely be looking for options in other countries rather than rolling the dice on a potential 4 year pause in my career.
- climb_stealth 2y agoI guess. In this case maybe normal people that are priviledged enough to consider emigrating. What I meant is people with real and constructive professions. That happen to be affected by federal decisions. I'm saying that with a bit of self-deprivation. These people in my opinion bring value to society with their jobs. In contrast to many IT roles where that can be a bit questionable sometimes. My own employment included.
