'Woke' Crowd

 Yesterday, I spent around an hour watching some new CIA recruitment video (probably six times with the same video).  The hype with this series?  Well....they want to let you know that being 'woke' all fine in the CIA and that they have people already there....fully 'woke' and able members of the team.  So if you were 'woke'.....you'd find friends and fine folks there ready to welcome you.

My end-feeling over the video and the 'woke' door being opened?  You are recruiting people who would easily fall over themselves, and have anxiety or panic attacks. Yes, you might be in the middle of a crisis where some ambassador is hidden in some secret residence, with forty ISIS guys jumping the fence and all intent to kill the guy.  The CIA 'woke' officer?  All hyped up and unable to react because they've been triggered, and require medication/rest.

The old CIA guys accepting this?  I'm confident to say that they have no say in this recruitment business, and CIA HR is running this on their own.

The odds of the 'woke' recruits....in ten years.....being offered 'exit-money' to leave the CIA because they aren't fit for duty?  That's my full estimate in 2031....some 2,000 CIA people with life skills that make them of no value to the CIA.  It's probably in the range of $100k to $150k for them to accept the 'exit-order'.

You can add another curious issue....a fair number of CIA officers end up in foreign lands, and have to put up with a fair amount of chaos and trouble.  Do you really want a 'woke' gal/guy in this type of situation?  You'd have to go and recruit some mental health experts to travel with the officers....to help motivate and keep them clear of 'woke' thoughts.  

It's a comedy in several ways, but it'll end in a pretty dramatic way.
