“Only the feeblest of men take jobs in the government”

“Only the feeblest of men take jobs in the government” is a quote from the character Dutch van der Linde in the 2018 action-adventure game Red Dead Redemption 2. The anti-government saying has remained popular, and appeared on a meme on 2024.

Well as Dutch Van Der Linde once said in chapter 2 of RDR2, “Only the feeblest of men work for the government!”
Better take that to heart
