Gonna guess they pick up lots of people who get kicked out during basic for being obnoxiously racist in front of the wrong people.
I believe they hire people who at least have combat arms experience. Other stuff like a moral compass is a disqualifier optional.

God bless that dude for trying to help, but inflatable mattresses probably aren't that good of an idea.

But when the only other idea is to sit tight and wait for help when a levee just broke...uh

I guess he's trying to get kids and people's belongings to a point where deeper water allows actual boats to rescue them? no clue?

The gas station price wasn't price-hike, they were testing their board, that's why all of the prices are the same.

Actually someone brought that up in another thread. The answer was that the store ran out of 24 packs and these bottles are intended for individual sale (different SKU and price, like $1.89 a bottle or something). So if you wanted to buy a case you can but there's no case discount like you would normally get.

So many paragraphs describing nothing. Cost Leadership as a framework they describe is kinda gross in that it completely glosses over the the life and death nature of warfare. Hang all nobles.


I would only respect an MBA officer if they had to kill their classmates for internships Hunger Games style.


Article posted:

The U.S. military can pursue cost leadership along two vectors: going cheap with unmanned systems and investing in the defense industrial base. First, the United States can shift cost curves by using cheap robots, not expensive and exquisite ones. In unmanned combat, quantity may have a quality all of its own. 

Looool, defense contractor spotted. I'm sure being weighed down by 80 drones that don't work is better than the equivalent cost in similarly maintenence intensive expensive drones.

It's a similiar problem but engineers tend to be dumb about everything that isn't their particular field, while believing they can go from zero to expert on anything else as fast as they can skim a Wikipedia article.

MBAs are just dumb about everything.
