US government struggles to rehire nuclear arsenal staff it fired days ago https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4g3nrx1dq5o
@hacks4pancakes @socprof Even if they weren’t all Qs and Ls, they have at least public trust level paperwork on every last one with residence info. This would be unbelievably ludicrous if someone wrote this scenario into fiction. OTOH, this does make the WH look like idiots, so not all bad.
@fuzzface @hacks4pancakes And I hope these guys tell Trump to go f*ck himself.
@socprof @hacks4pancakes Well, they certainly have lucrative opportunities working for other governments (sigh).
@fuzzface @hacks4pancakes @socprof I suspect it's more of a "please lose this number" scenario. Would you want to work for an agency that pulls this kinda shit with nuclear weapons?
@iterativesec @hacks4pancakes @socprof Could be. My direct experience with DOE ended in 2007, and while I interacted with some good people in NNSA it wasn’t on a regular basis. Basically most of their mission is classified (Q=DOE Top Secret, L=DOE Secret). Like any agency, they aren’t perfect, but they do “get it”. We are certainly safer with them, than without them.
@socprof fire me once, shame on you. Fire me twice, shame on me.
@womble Yeah, I hope they all go "Trump administration, go f*ck yourself".
@chebra I don't recall whether the second firing was what screwed people out of their severance, but it wouldn't surprise me.
@socprof Almost like Space Karen has a history of this… sounds exactly like the Twitter takeover.
@socprof GOLLY
WHO WOULD EVER HAVE THUNK IT
@socprof Do their systems still work, or are they about to get nuked ?
@socprof that's one way of nuclear disarmament
