Or because we want another $100 billion in the defense budget to operate them publicly so we can fund the next generation of aircraft.

From a reconnaissance standpoint, what gap is this filling our space eyes do not already cover?
Speed has never been the issue, it was always heat mitigation. The material this is made out of is probably an engineering marvel.
There are tech and techniques for hiding things from satellites. It’s much harder to plan around time windows and locations when the reconnaissance can happen at any time and place.

I’m not an economist but isn’t there a 100% chance of us technically be in a recession if DOGE is successful? Cutting a trillion dollars in government spending out of a $27 trillion GDP is a 3.7% drop.

Their overall package is still not nearly as bad for the manufacturers as it was pre 2008. The health care was the killer more so than wages.
Healthcare is still probably the biggest opportunity for cost savings among the Big Three (two?). Pooling UAW members of each company and the white collar employees would drive costs down for all three. This was discussed during the last round of negotiations but I believe some nuance about how the UAW negotiates individual companies at a time prevents it from becoming reality.

One of the biggest lies in world affairs: The suggestion that the U.S. “funds” European social programs by contributing to NATO…
The Royal Navy has more admirals than warships. Germany has maybe 3 combat-ready aircraft squadrons, most of which are 4th gen Eurofighters. The French, the best funded of the European armies, can deploy perhaps 3 divisions of light infantry in any meaningful amount of time.

By like $7B. Insignificant.
$7B in actual cuts or just reduction in planned spending increases? If it’s just a lower than anticipated increase then you’re correct. But $7B in actual cuts is significant given Congress’s track record.

No we are not. We are saying the email doesn’t separate the hard workers from the weak workers.
I’ve maintained a simple motto with every team I’ve ever had the privilege to lead, “control the controllables.”
Whether this email is effective or not doesn’t matter. It’s a simple task that’s easily accomplished. Say you investigated each of the five instances of fraud waste and abuse you mentioned.
I refuse to believe this is your first experience with what you feel is bad leadership. I genuinely hope it all works out for you.

I’ve no desire to rehash this thread but this:
Highlights your bias. What was “gleeful” in the email? Or are you reading into what you want to believe?

I don’t have any problem with this. If I need to, I can write a frick ton of bullet points on what I did last week. Feds: stand and be counted.
It’s fascinating.
Avowed small government “conservatives” are siding with progressives in opposition to holding federal employees to the same standards as the private sector.
The lights are turning on and the mice are scurrying.

I edited because of your late stage references. It's just the recession part of the economics cycle. Not some terminal event.
“Late stage economy” was probably hyperbolic but I only mean it in the given context of the US tech sector.

CS grads at the top of their class at Berkeley are not getting jobs per their Prof. Tech has laid off thousands over the past several years yet we need more H1bs...
The inconvenient truth that no one wants to openly discuss is that in this late-stage economy, we simply don’t need “builders” right now. Most of the tech companies are in wealth-extraction maintenance mode while a select few engineers try to monetize their AI investments.
Meanwhile, they need skeleton crews of engineers on call to “keep the lights on” and ensure the ops teams get their reports and Salesforce doesn’t break. If you can get them to work with bare-minimum benefits and pay while being on call two nights per week, all the better.
H1B Indians are much better suited to that task.

Posted by Snazzmeister on 12/1/24 at 9:30 pm
It’s odd that Holder, an Obama sycophant, is defending Biden. Particularly after they helped stab him in the back to make the Kamala switch.
Just how involved was Obama with the money laundering in Ukraine?

This trend of attributing every single geo-political occurrence to the cia/deep-state is extremely tiresome.
The only trend is our intelligence agencies creating messes all across the globe.
In Syria, militias armed by the Pentagon fight those armed by the CIA.
Assad and the Kurds are facing off against some of the world’s premiere scumbags and we are knee deep in the mess, all for an oil pipeline.
HTS would still be Al Nusra were it not for petty tactical differences with Al Qaeda and the human excrement that is ISIS is still operating with impunity since the human vegetable took office.

Sad that the remnants of the McCain political machine would rather a progressive take office than a pro-Trump candidate.

Supreme Court Justice Ron DeSantis has a nice ring.
Not in the administration but would put a principled conservative with a legal background in a position to contribute for the next 30 years or so.

Medicinal marijuana is ridiculously easy to get in FL already. Really wasn’t necessary.
