Some of the fired probationary employees included on-the-ground staff at facilities where nuclear weapons are built.

Trump administration officials fired more than 300 staffers Thursday night at the National Nuclear Security Administration — the agency tasked with managing the nation’s nuclear stockpile — as part of broader Energy Department layoffs, according to four people with knowledge of the matter.

      Just like the playbook against NHS in UK:

      “NHS doesn’t work, it must be privatised (and contracted out to companies owned by my friends)!!”

      /proceeds to starve funds and undermine NHS at every turn

      “See?! I told ya it doesn’t work” 🥴
