Laying off a ton of federal workers leaves those workers—and in turn, the US—vulnerable to foreign agents offering them jobs in return for access to confidential information.

Kudos to Reuters for doing the legwork on this story. They sent people to visit business addresses in Singapore, to verify that these were phantom companies.

@drahardja Firing federal workers also makes them unemployed, and since Trump is kicking out all the immigrants, those former federal workers are gonna be competing for jobs in their place.

Also, giving the CPC access to America’s confidential and secret docs would actual be better for the country. It is absolutely clear to me that the government can’t be trusted to keep their own secrets.

@drahardja many of these workers were good loyal folks who have been kicked to the curb in the roughest way possible by their own government. This seems like a way to turn someone into a foreign asset who would have never imagined doing so previously
