“Stop protecting consumers RIGHT NOW”

Email sent to all CFPB staff this morning: "Please do not perform any work tasks."

Comments

“Don’t you know corporations have a pristine record for independently choosing to look out for consumers’ best interest?! You can relax.”

Vought is a sack of shit.

So now, my tax money is going to pay people to sit around and play Solitaire on their computers all day because they have been instructed to 'do nothing'. This is not cutting 'waste'. It is CREATING it. What kind of Idiot Supervisor ORDERS workers to be lazy & puts it IN WRITING?

You'd swear this was comedy except there's nothing funny about it.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/cfpb-shutdown-doge-nteu-lawsuits/ -- National Treasury Employees Union: "which represents about 155,000 federal employees across three dozen agencies and departments, asked the U.S. District Court of the District of Columbia to rule that Vought's directive that CFPB employees halt work is unlawful" 👈

Any entity that has been established to help and protect people will vanish so that there’s more money in the coffers to protect the debt limit against the tax cuts for the wealthy. Pretty simple.

This administration is using terms like corruption, overreach, and irresponsible spending to justify gutting departments such as the CFPB that help people. Don’t be fooled! This is an attack by the billionaire class to remove constraints that protect the average citizen.

This is how to make America great?
Shutting agencies down is efficient?
Helping the ultra rich to become richer while taking away money from workers who can hardly afford food now makes sense?

Consumers? Protection?? Not if Musk, TFG or Project 2025 has their way. Let the billionaires and oligarch reign supreme; steal the nations wealth - and let the consumers "eat cake".

One step closer to the next "societal collapse" predicted scientifically by this fascinating but frightening paper: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0921800914000615

You need to ditch Vought.

Please wave your white flag of surrender to the criminals as they begin the process of profiting from the financial grifts that will cause a second great depression.

Stand down! WTF kind of order is that to a bureaucrat! They talk like they are going to war. If they don’t slow it down, they might be.

Crime is now legal report

PayPay and Capital One is now facing litigation for thieving billions upon billions of $'s in royalty and affiliate commissions from content creators and small businesses alike. Elon and his little techno terrorist want to bring a halt to any investigations.

Unless a subsequent message came authorizing staff to claim administrative leave for those hours of doing no work, they are at risk of being fired for submitting fraudulent timesheets. Very sneaky move by the acting director.

Now if I was in their Union, I would be thinking a comment about do no work is an indicator of a plan to not pay employees because they didn't do any work. I would send an email to see if everyone is given an admin day?

@warren.senate.gov will not take this sitting down.
They've just told all Americans just take it without Vaseline..

There's a bright side -- once there is no more Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Vought will be out of a job and we can throw him out of the Admin permanently. Right?

... Right?

I tried emailing and they’ve shut down Paoletta’s account, but I did find these emails for him on ContactOut: [email protected] or [email protected]. He’s a Federalist brought in by Voight.

Everyone CALL your SENATORS and Reps and let them know this is not OK! Let’s keep flooding those phones !

“Stand down”? WTF

tammylu52.bsky.social•12 days ago

I just sent Mark a message telling them, as a consumer, I still want protection.

judyconsig.bsky.social•12 days ago

A sure way to ensure that the general public and consumers feel safe and secure With Elon Musk and Klan having access to all of their finances, social security numbers, bank accounts, etc. is to do away with the consumer financial protective bureau. Great idea!.
