Got to take the good with the bad DOGE fires 300 essential nuclear personnel then immediately rehires them.

Last night, the Trump administration accidentally fired more 300 employees at the National Nuclear Security Administration — the agency tasked with managing our nuclear stockpile. Some of the fired employees were on the ground at facilities where nuclear weapons are built.

perhaps they may need a primer on which departments to be extra careful with. You know like the Bidens were, right?

DOGE needs to be a bit more surgical or atleast remember to fricking measure twice and cut once. FFS

Is this to be expected when very few people hold all the power without any oversight or accountability at all? We shall see.

My first thought was, "Let's just wait and see how many come back from this accident... and how many don't."

But that's kind of voyeuristically cruel perhaps... 

After all, we are talking about people's livelihoods... and those people have families that didn't sign up to become part of someone else's ideological battlefield.

Yeah, I'd probably be more sympathetic if the excessive COVID measures and length of the shutdowns didn't put our family business which had been doing great at supporting multiple families for 40-plus years on life support. I know my situation isn't unique.  But I digress
