Interesting article ...
"Has President Trump suckered Democrats and the Deep State into a trap that will enable a radical downsizing of the federal bureaucracy? In only five more days of the already "longest government shutdown in history" (25 days and counting, as of today), a heretofore obscure threshold will be reached, enabling permanent layoffs of bureaucrats furloughed 30 days or more.
Don't believe me that federal bureaucrats can be laid off? Well, in bureaucratese, a layoff is called a RIF – a Reduction in Force – and of course, it comes with a slew of civil service protections. But, if the guidelines are followed, bureaucrats can be laid off – as in no more job. It is all explained by Michael Roberts here (updated after the beginning of the partial shutdown):
A reduction in force is a thoughtful and systematic elimination of positions. For all practical purposes, a government RIF is the same thing as a layoff. ...
Organizations must stick to predetermined criteria when sorting out what happens to each employee. They must communicate with employees how and why decisions are made. ...
In deciding who stays and who goes, federal agencies must take four factors into account:
1. Tenure
2. Veteran status
3. Total federal civilian and military service
4. Performance
Agencies cannot use RIF procedures to fire bad employees."

Can't imagine it actually being tried but there it is.

Only a CONservative delights when a fellow AmeriCAN looses their job.
The Cruelty Is the Point
President Trump and his supporters find community by rejoicing in the suffering of those they hate and fear.

says the crowd miffed at Trump every time he brings jobs back. Obama sent our jobs overseas and you lefties cheered. Spare us your BS.

Wouldn’t that maneuver affect the unemployment numbers?

It's not a discussion about the world's nuts.That assumes the usual Trumpet position that Trump has the world by the nuts which he clearly does not. I don't think they really want to go for wholesale layoffs out of this and the standards are such that I don't even think they would get much of a drawdown out of it if they tried.
Put up a link of "jobs" trump brought back?
you are unaware of the common knowledge ubiquitous jobs reports? Say yes and I will.
https://www.forbes.com/sites/chuckd...-10-times-obamas-over-21-months/#3e7259df5850Those aren't, necessarily, "foreign" jobs. But I'll play, YES, now put up a link about ALL the foreign jobs trump has brought back.

If an article you find interesting suggests that a disgraced politician who finds himself between a rock and a hard place is secretly a genius who had been socially engineering the whole thing behind the scenes in order to effect something totally different than his stated purpose, such that even in the face of an embarrassing political loss he actually secretly won his much loftier goal that he didn't tell anyone about, you might be a conspiracy theorist.
Some other 'interesting' article material from this publication:
President Obama secretly signaled solidarity to African leaders at the White House using a Muslim hand gesture known as the ‘Shahada.’
The state of New Jersey is currently conducting, or plans to conduct, house-to-house confiscations of banned high-capacity gun magazines.

There are hundreds of these. We can also go down to company level as well.
