    The good ones have probably already found new higher paying jobs. The ones that come back will be the dregs. But what can you expect from a guy who bankrupted a Casino

      I didn’t know this. But his casino in NY, played out a gambler, they basically got that gambler into the position of owing money. (He had already been draining the casino by winning). When he lost he owed the casino money but the Japanese Mafia killed him before he could pay it.

      I think that was talked about in the documentary Hyper Normalization by Adam Curtis. It’s on yt if you’re interested.

    Considering they were betrayed by their country after years of patriotic service, you can probably find some of them in Beijing, and I don’t blame them.

      That’d be an interesting choice. You could choose any other country and you go with one of the other autocracies? Good lookin foot I have there. Shame if I pulled this trigger.

        I’m sure they’d be treated extremely well. Usually there’s some good incentives to encourage defectors

        I believe some countries don’t have as many nuclear plants to hire engineers and scientists. France is one of the countries heavily invested in nuclear and so is UK. Maybe China does as well? I don’t know about the latter if they have many nuclear plants and I am too lazy to check at the moment.

          I don’t know either, but a friend of mine is in nuclear research and said that China is investing a lot into nuclear power.

      It’s scary and sad as fuck. We are in for dark days i feel.

      I’ve been doing my best to stay present with my family and know how to protect them first. Next I’ll find ways to throw sand in the gears of this shit.

    I bet this dumb fuck pays for a terrorist attack to happen, so he can delcare marshal law. Then he gets unlimited powers, and won’t leave the white house. I’m absolutely sure of it. It’s ww2 all over again.

      This seems like the type of job you could be patriotic about. Real patriotic, not fascist clown show. You have stuff with unmatched danger to millions of people for potentially centuries. This is real shit and this job might be among the most important on earth. (Or maybe it’s just my imagination since I have no idea what the reality is)

      I’m proud of my job, yet all I’m doing is helping other employees generate more bits. If I help other employees do more with less, more quickly, do these clowns count it as waste?

    You would think this is an insult to the Trump administration but it is really a testament to the inefficient chaos that is the government bureaucracy. I worked for the fed government for approximately 15 years when hundreds of coworkers and myself received letters explaining the agency had no idea who we were. We would all have to repeat our background checks and resubmit fingerprints to the FBI. Some of the people had been there for 25+ years.

      You would think this is an insult to the Trump administration

      And you would be right. There’s no doubt that some government agencies are bloated and overstaffed. But what this administration is doing is not even close to fixing any of these problems. They set out to allegedly trim a few sick trees and instead they’re burning down the entire forest!
