How have the mass firings of feds/vets affected you?

Obviously this phenomenon will have an impact on the economy of our region, with many personal lives and livelihoods affected. (ETA: Beyond direct federal employees, I expect many government contractors will be affected, as well as veterans health services, for example.)

Apparently 70,000 employees are targeted in the next round of DoD layoffs. (Stars and Stripes)
