From NBC. I’d say emblematic of the smash and attempt to repair approach of the Trump 2.0 administration.
National Nuclear Security Administration officials on Friday attempted to notify some employees who had been let go the day before that they are now due to be reinstated — but they struggled to find them because they didn’t have their new contact information.
In an email sent to employees at NNSA and obtained by NBC News, officials wrote, “The termination letters for some NNSA probationary employees are being rescinded, but we do not have a good way to get in touch with those personnel.”
I’m tellin’ ya, that Chesterton guy wasn’t wrong.

Peace talks without Ukraine involved? This is Afghanistan all over again.
Competence matters.
The idea of things being so bad that we just have to tear it all down and build up from the ground comes from lazy and ignorant people. When things are not effective or not working the competent people analyze why the outcome are not as expected and fixes the problem. The lazy morons just rave about how bad it is and that we just have to tear it all down – then whine about the damage they caused and blame it on others. You don’t burn down the house because the plumbing doesn’t work.
The pothead in chief and his army of dropout bro’s have no idea what they are tearing down nor any idea of how to rebuild. Government is a lot different than exploding rockets. The competent individuals and their systems build over decades from hard-earned experiences of what didn’t work cannot simply be replaced with new parts. That is why Musk took a $40 billion company twitter and X’ed down to a $8 billion failing entity. Social structures work very different from physical engineered structures.
Krugman has a nice writeup on the army of arrogant idiots that the pothead in chief has put in charge of the “rapid unscheduled disassembly” of US government. So ignorant they don’t even know they are ignorant.
When pscilocybin in legal, Musk will be in the main stream, until them, wait for more psychotic terminations.
so they got rid of people they needed. Bozos
Fire first – think later.
