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.
It's all funny until you realize that the people willing to go back will be a bunch of spineless loyal yes men.
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.

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!
BIG BRAIN.
I can’t express in words how fucking stupid Trump and his ilk are. I just cannot believe these dumb mother fuckers!
Move fast and break things. What could possibly go wrong?
Maybe running a government isn't like trying to start a start up with a 90% failure rate!
Everyone thought they were electing a rooster into the henhouse, but the rooster brought in a fox and no one has a shotgun.
no one has a shotgun
Oh, I'm sorry, I thought this was America
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.
Is the Reichstag on fire?
At the rate of aircraft accidents, it's only a matter of a few weeks before a plane or helicopter crashes into a govt building or installation.
this dumb fuck pays for a terrorist attack to happen
bold of you to assume he's actually going to pay for anything
Just because this is a common enough mistake, I'm going to publicly correct you for the benefit of other people who might see this comment. I apologize.
It's Martial Law. Not Marshall Law.
Martial Law and Marital Law is the one that always gets me.
There's a joke in there about strict curfews and domineering personalities, but I can't be bothered to flesh it out.
oh man, I knew that. I dunno why i said marshal law lol. Mustn't have been paying enough attention.
It’s Martial Law. Not Marshall Law.
No, that's martial arts. Martial law involves less improvisation and adaptability. However, it loses to martial science.
Everyone knows it is Martian Law
Now that explains Musk’s obsession with getting to Mars.
Then the few people who don't are very prolific commenters because it's a mistake I see often.
Spread the word!
Has anyone asked Marshal for a statement?
WW3 even.
I've heard WWIV is expected to be pretty lame in comparison. Something about shitty weapons in the future. So we're really lucky to get to enjoy this one.
I'm kinda looking forward to that one. No more overpowered one-hit bullshit.
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.
I would choose France.
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
That's a chance you want to take with China of all places? No thank you.
Yep at least you get a VIP treatment while they suck your brains off
Both places suck big time, change my mind.
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.
Good time to ask for a raise!
ask
that's an odd way to spell demand, and not take no for an answer
