Wild that no one wants to reckon with if we have been doing largely overt, to slightly clandestine but not under a covert finding, ops for longer then a career everyone is going to treat the job as if it was overt.

You can probably correctly say that the civilians have total control over the military and while I would agree with you, the person who is actually performing the duties of SecDef atm is the CJCS

ALSO this should be noted for the role these and other sort of programs have played in collapsing all of American middle bits culture into The South: Extended Edition.

"Don't you rural hicks know your not supposed to fuck your buddy Jim just because he's hot" Was an active campaign in the US driven by a mixture of regularizing the populi, and because some people had weird views about communists and their sexual proclivities.

States, engaging in state activity have access to some of the most effective and coercive means of altering society. It should probably be noted how often that’s used for bad.

1st armored is going to be the first ground force element to close with and destroy our ostensible enemy, and it’s going to be in Eastern Ukraine, and they are going to be fighting North Koreans is a rapidly emerging possibility.

i simply wouldn’t be economically dependent on strategic territory held at constant risk by my enemies. i’d force my consumers into a resilient economic model that maximizes my freedom of action.

The most important career milestone of a US military planner is when you realize that everyone (our allies, our enemies, politicians, civilians, other servicemembers, etc) believes the US military is omnipotent, omniscient, and ten steps ahead, EVEN IF THEY ALSO BELIEVE IT IS CRAZY, EVIL, OR STUPID.

This isn’t even run-of-the-mill John Spencerism, it’s saying all Palestinians are directly participating in hostilities by virtue of their partisan political disposition, thereby making them lawful targets.

It’s shabby legal analysis, morally appalling, and unsurprising from Ryan Evans and WOTR.

Wich is great! That’s really helping a lot of people get access to a collegiate education they otherwise would not get, at a very low opportunity cost for traditional students! Sometimes things are good for people and society.

Tempe is land locked by other cities, like it can only grow so fast, but ASU’s growth is faster how? By having a decade of sustained investment into online education which is able to largely match quality of education in online and in persons courses for the same class.

Which means you should be reflecting the change in the price of a decrease in 10% of the supply of oil, with the small adjustment factor for cost of money it’s like 3% the total cost value, but I haven’t converted it to actual dollar value change in oil.

Like the time to start pricing in the straight closure was a month and a half ago when the US Air Force started flying everything with jet engines east. Like there was a 50-50 shot we lost 20% of the global supply of oil.

Also they are not paid to understand geopolitical realities they are payed to price the markets understanding of geopolitical realities… and the market is unreasonable to say the least.

Also the internet has played a major role in collapsing the functional inter still space between them to zero, while popular medias amalgamation has rendered the ability to silo them into only there local media markets impossible hence Marshals is the number one watched show in the country.

Like if they occurred in the sticks and not cities with populations that put them in the top 100 cities we would have way less of a problem, and a lot fewer people would suffer (partially by their own choices partially because they have no mobility to flee)

I do think we should note that republican inteligensia do only occur in urban cosmopolitan cities… and this is what makes them dangerous. They just occur in the urban cities that researchers for some reason like to brand as rural because they are surrounded by farm land and not farmland and a coast.

Like when donkeys are a key part of your transportation system but you (previously) had the largest and best medical system in the region things get fucky from an analytic framework.

Yeah but Cuba is weird, as in they are so weird they occur on areas of development graphs with no one else (I will dig up the figure later, its in a very old to me power point) so I was giving them a longer time threshold then most.

I get to experience a greater then normal level of friction interacting with many systems and doing my day to day work that standard reasonable acomidations are not well suited for handling but if I wanted to I could easily see how I could achieve better results then curenty w/ out compromising on

I think AI has a role in making the world more accessible, and I think it has a profound ability to improve our managerial capacity as individuals. This will have uneven rates, but I think a lot of currently adverse systems may be improved by experiencing effective friction from its users.
