The General Services Administration has given the employees — who managed government workspaces — until the end of the week to accept or decline reinstatement, according to an internal memo obtained by The Associated Press. Those who accept must report for duty on Oct. 6 after what amounts to a seven-month paid vacation, during which time the GSA in some cases racked up high costs — passed along to taxpayers
Why the fuck would you trust this government again?
This was a self-immolation of scientific research and climate adaptation/ mitigation imposed by this fascist regime. What was destroyed was years, decades of work. Its not recoverable.

What Trump is trying to do is intimidate the Democrats. If the shutdown happens, and if he lays them off, when we get to the other side of the shutdown, he’s going to have to hire people to fill those positions. It’s not like this hasn’t already happened in June (such as 3,500 FDA employees) https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-doge-rehire-workers-fired-b2765461.html and with probationary employees https://www.cbsnews.com/news/federal-workers-fired-rehired-job-uncertainty-confusing/ and Employees from the National Nuclear Security Administration, the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Department of Agriculture who needed to be rehired https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/federal-employees-scramble-terminations-agencies-rescinded/story?id=118985384 and let’s not forget Air Traffic Controllers…
How long until one of these shameless idiots gets in front of a camera takes credit for fixing the crisis they created? Sick of that bullshit cycle.
I’m pretty sure every person with a firm grasp of reality predicted this would happen.
