Worked for the US time and a half ago. It's hardly the newest playbook.

Who would do more damage: thousands of disgruntled, laid off bureaucrats, or one Chester Cheeto?

In tough economy that is having their benefits slashed, it's a perfect breeding ground. America has been destroyed far more than the average American can grasp, and they still haven't figured it out yet.
Trump will just keep promising things will get better, and this will all be worth it.

It's not even about state secrets. It's about bleeding the US dry of its talent. And it's a strategy that absolutely will work.

I don't blame them, I'd be pretty salty too if my government fired me after years of service and someone offered me a bunch of money for my expertise.

Ooof. There's a lot of disgruntled federal workers getting laid off with a lot of state secrets in their head.

China is offering jobs so these fired workers don't have to go on welfare and you're *removed* about it? Pick a lane!!!
