Trump admin terminated 300 employees at the National Nuclear Security Admin...then realizes mistake

We won't know the true impact of all these firings for years, I can guarantee it won't be positive. Even in this situation I'm sure not everyone will choose to return to work

 

I would agree! Do I think there’s waste in our government that we could improve upon, sure! Just like every single corporation out there today. However, the cuts we’re making and the damage being done is going to be felt by this country for many years to come.

I work for a very large company and maybe 10 years ago we went through a VRO (voluntary retirement option) process to help reduce costs. While we were able to save money by essentially buying out more expensive and tenured associates we still have a knowledge and experience gap in many areas to this day due to the history and just tribal knowledge that was lost from those experienced associates. Sometimes things look really great on paper, but don’t always work the way you think they will.

 

woopsie

 

Dangerously incompetent morons.

 

Were these the stay at home nuclear workers? Lol...

 

when is the surrender ceremony?

 

Waiting for Bill to tell us this is owning the libbies…

 

We are at a weird nexus of Man In The High Castle and Handmaids Tail that is beyond art.

 

I can't wait till they get to the DoD. Over half the $800B budget goes to contractors, and most of the other half is spent on hard assets like bases, buildings and maintenance. Very little $ will be saved by firing civilians like myself. I've saved the tax payer more $ than I will ever be paid in my lifetime and retirement just in contract negotiations. What they are doing up there is beyond stupid and will have major consequences to all of us for generations.

 

Everyone in the DoD and DoE knows that the DoE leads the nuclear arsenal. That's why it's beyond stupid to cut funding without knowing what it is or does.

 

MAGAs will spin it, like always. On a side note, I think it’s sad/pathetic/hilarious that MAGA can’t even say anything slightly negative about Elon or Trump, but they know they’ll eventually have to cause blasphemy and say something bad (truthful) about one of them lol

 

It’s ok. They were all redundant.

 

Pretty sure this will be one of the ones he just pretends didn't happen.


(that can be convenient too)

 

Yea but everyone knows the waste in nuclear energy. Just look at Homer Simpson.

 

I’m supportive of this. Nuclear weapons pretty much manage themselves these days.

Also, Elon knows rockets so he should have sole discretion of when we attach a nuclear warhead to one, right?

 

When getting caught banging a pornstar while your pregnant wife is at home isn’t in your top 50 biggest mistakes.

 

Every one of those workers should band together and tell them no, they are not coming back unless:
1. they get immediate 25% pay raises
2. President Musk is immediately thrown out of the White House and investigated over passing classified information to our enemies.

Otherwise, let President Musk and his Meat Puppet Moron side-kick go pick up a weapon and guard that mess.
