LLNS may have excluded the wrong people in last VSSOP? The exclusions were based on outdated job categories and related skills. ULM are now thinking that in the future, job categories and functional areas will have to be re-defined. The next VSSOP/ISP will be based on the new categories and functional areas. The questions I have are: 1) Why didnt they think of that before the transition. It seems like their style is “change things as you go”. Planning is out the window! 2) Who will give input on the new changes? The next RIF apparently is going to be more lucrative than the VSSOP. Depending on the length of employment, a RIFed person, not only gets their 1 week pay per year of service but also from 30 to 120 days notice, essentially 30 to 120 days pay. Please feel free to comment on the rumors or add new ones you actually heard.

But Iran better be careful. More ICBM tests and they are liable to get a "Gulf of Tonken" shoved down their throats !
But I don't think Trumpf, Mattis or others in command look at it this way. I think they wait like Roosevelt did in 1937-1941 for something to change the US electorates mind.
Meanwhile on Bloomberg Surveillance today, the former Finnish prime minister suggested that the UK-less EU was prepared to take over the US world leadership role as the US backed out. I couldn't stop laughing.

In fact Angela Merkel is now the leader of the Free work since the United states
elected trump. Obama handed the power over to her.
The liberals are sure saying that, it's funny as hell.

Why are you saying that? In fact Merkel is the ruler of the free world. Trump has no credibility on the world stage, none, hell half the of the US wants Merkel to control the world. Do you think people in Sweden care what Trumps thinks, hell no, do you think people in Malta care what Trumps things, hell no. Thank God Obama gave her the world power before the election.

He didn't have it to give. Refusal to exercise power is the same as not having it.
If things continue to go the way they're headed, she isn't going to be the leader of Germany, let alone the leader of the free world.
So what in the world were you thinking, Snowflake?
Please stop using "snowflake" unless you use it correctly. It is not a general purpose pejorative (sorry to use such large words for you) but applies to particular adherents of PC culture at US universities. Get it right, or don't use it.
Plus, Merkel is not going to lose. She will realize her mistakes and learn from them, in order to change her political tactics. Trump is incapable of that level of thinking.
