Rats. I have used that database quite a few times, over the years.
Maybe the data did not support the "hottest economy in the world" narrative?

The next sensible POTUS is going to have to undo a lot of stuff before he can actually get to work.

The next sensible POTUS is going to have to undo a lot of stuff before he can actually get to work.
Undoing stuff, repairing stuff, reestablishing trust……… may be the primary tasks of the next several presidents, congresses, judges and agencies.
I have a feeling the American public will be holding their feet to the fire.

Sean Hannity is only 64. When Trump falls off his perch, and Hannity takes over ruling for life, it could be thirty years before anyone else can be the head of state, whatever it's called by then.

Just out of curiosity, what are alternative jobs for a rank-and-file CIA employee who might decide to pursue a career outside of the US government?
I've heard former DOJ rank and file lawyers are finding good employment at private law firms. And former FBI agents are finding good jobs in state and local policing.
Not saying anything, of course. Just making observations.

I can neither confirm nor deny that there is an awful lot of intellectual brain drain out of various three letter agencies responsible for our spy craft, that trust is eroded in the Five Eyes (the 80+ year partnership between the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, about all sorts of spy craft), and that a lot of the competent former govvies are finding work at Crowdstrike, Microsoft, and indeed law firms and such.
I can nearly confirm nor deny that I've discouraged several folks from working in said locales, and all have waived off.
