Maybe they can help develop weapons systems for a change instead of automatically assuming they'll get our shite for free. See how well they do fighting people with only Desert Eagles and Uzis.

Oil and gas downturns can be rough, if you've been through it you know. So you know how it is, you either get laid off or you get the privilege of taking on other people's jobs that they cut.

I've been self-employed ever since and I do very well for myself now. It definitely sucks being on the other side of it though, I had to liquidate one of my companies during the O&G downturn circa 2017. Instead of being a dick and having the managers do it and then laying off the managers, I spent a week speaking to each person individually. IMO it's the least you can do in an unfortunate situation like that.

Pretty cool that Brees is getting involved with the team again

Well, I have it on good authority that he would like to come back and work in the organization. He's spending the next several years making up lost time with his kids, but after that I have a feeling he takes a job in New Orleans.

He's dipping his toes in with this camp and keeping the lifeline open to the Saints organization.

So Trump promised to put us in a war with Iran with no real goals and to put us in a worse global position after we end it in a strategic defeat? Got it. Thanks for explaining The Art of the Deal for us all.

Wait. So we spent billions of dollars and destroyed the lives of many of our soldiers to obtain exactly what we had prior to the war?

This is some Art of the Deal level shite here folks, and you idiots will lap it up!

Maybe before you swat a hornets nest, have a better plan next time. Also, does that mean we can spend less money on defense now that we've ended another war in a strategic defeat? Stop sending munitions to other countries? Mothball the fleet thats glorified target practice for modern ballistic?

The whole Iran War was just a proving grounds of inteptitude for our military and our government's foreign "policy".

Something that isn't spoken very often is the pushback against paying BK his remaining contract was to appease those people. I know because I deal with them on a regular basis. Anyone with any real connection to reality understood that the contract is iron-clad, hardly any way to get out of it unless BK decided to drive a motorcycle with the dean's daughter on the back.

Going to quote what the other poster said and add some context and advice from the business side.

So NOT tell anyone at work this. You will be let go.

This is 100% correct and here's why. Get the testing done first, if you have some kind of degenerative cognitive disorder that gets discovered while you are employed, you have considerable protections under Federal law that prevents them from outright terminating you.

Has even more implications if you have unvested assets like stock or pensions.

Prayers for you and I hope all the testing comes back negative. Everyone loses focus from time to time as well, and I find as I age its harder to keep focus. I'd rather be pursuing my hobbies or spending time with my family, but owning businesses doesn't afford opportunities to lose focus. Hoping to retire in 5 years and sell my business assets.
