The CDC is rehiring more than 400 people who had received layoff notices. Around half of those employees are in the National Center for HIV, Viral Hepatitis, STD and Tuberculosis Prevention. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

This is the project 2025 plan. Fire everyone and only rehire people that are willing to say that they will bow to the king.

OFFS. They’re costing us more in these firings and hiring than if they’d just left them alone. Not only do a lot of them get back pay, they also have to work extra to get caught up in all the work they just sat there because there was no one to do it.

If I were them I'd look for opportunities in other countries and refuse to return. That said, I'm frankly amazed at how many of them have stayed in the Idiocracy this long without looking for other countries to continue their work in, especially after COVID.

They've got bills to pay, kids in school, and I expect they've also got serious concerns about interrupted research allowing unnecessary deaths. I wouldn't think their morale would be good -- "You! GET OUT!" accompanied by a collapse of research projects, followed by, "Yeah, we need you after all"?

During the rehire process each will have to pass the "regime litmus test", by writing a few paragraphs about how they are loyal to Der fuhrer. My guess is many won't qualify based on this. If they do pass I will never trust them.
