Let's see the aftermath of Trump's meeting with the Finnish prez: Finland says no fighter deal with Boeing after Trump's comments quote:HELSINKI (Reuters) - President Sauli Niinisto on Tuesday denied that Finland was buying new fighter jets from American planemaker Boeing (BA.N), following remarks by U.S. President Donald Trump. (We're probably gonna end up buying 60+ F-35 anyway) 'No President in the U.S.' Leads $53 Billion Fund to Sell Stocks quote:

So even though the insurers are going to laugh off most of the (non-affluent) victims claims, what are the betting odds that insurers and re-insurance markets don't have enough solvent cash on hand to even cover the surface level recovery from this and the credit crisis isn't in student loans like I was expecting as instead starts in the insurance markets.

I only have experience with working for Mutual Life Insurance companies, but my former employer had about 13bbn on hand in 2009 and was told by the government that they needed to park their assets in something other than cash. Property and realty insurance probably maintains a similar on hand reserve, with individual risk appetites for each company dictating where the rest is stashed.

The reinsurer for flood claims is the federal government. Take from that what you will.

The National Flood Insurance Program will probably go bust, but State Farm and the like should make out OK.

There are people who will do these schools and programs without even going into the military afterwards because ~family legacy~ and said connections. They just have kind of a smaller footprint but it's kind of more intense, maybe because of that smaller size and lack of not being an actual academy

Mattis to Trump: go gently caress your Transgender Ban, I'm putting together a study and implementation plan/panel like we normally do. Until then, continue to gently caress yourself and nothing is changing. https://twitter.com/jeremyherb/status/902674630892290048 Sounds like Mattis wants to run out the clock or let the court system do the job, or at worst, try to convince Trump otherwise.

Waroduce posted:I worked for Accenture and MBAs are loving idiots. If my project lead or client liaison was an MBA poo poo was always waaaaay harder than it needed to be Truth. I ended up being the subject matter expert on a lot of poo poo at my old job; for some reason the MBAs didn't like my "negative attitude" when it came to their projects being physically impossible or downright illegal (think "we'd need to dredge for ten years or so" or "that would be a flagrant violation of the Jones Act.", not nitpicky poo poo). I no longer work there, the MBA's all got promoted and the business unit is failing in a spectacular fashion. From the few classes I've taken, the MBA curriculum is so focused on success stories, they never get to the "accept the things you can't change" and "some poo poo is downright impossible" parts. I shudder to think of the result when one applies that kind of thinking in a military context.

MBAs seem to want to build castles on air generally speaking and the can-do, go get it attitude is Def usually a positive from a leadership perspective espc if you are bringing a wide ranging diverse team together imo but it really can become overbearing particularly when people enjoy huffing their own farts and live in a different reality. But you were all military so I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir

You (usually) need a master's to make O-4, and MBAs are a dime a dozen and available at every base ed center or online. Loooots of MBAs in the AF officer corps. Explains a lot.

bird food bathtub posted:It's not a bad supposition, not that long ago that the FBI was looking into white supremacist organizations infiltrating law enforcement in an organized manner. More organized than "racist assholes want a chance to shoot them" anyway Starting in the 1970s white supremacists had a very successful run at infiltrating / recruiting from various special operations groups. Not surprising they'd try it with law enforcement.

The "patriot" movement in Australia was littered with Army and operator types; likewise the private security firms running the offshore torture camps that the department of customs and immigration set up (the ones who either straight out raped or facilitated the rape of hundreds of refugee women they were supposed to be protecting) were full of ex-ADF hardcases.

I don't mean stupid poo poo like a seal team flying trump flags, I mean no-poo poo green berets looting wepons caches, conducting armed robberies and actively recruiting. poo poo, a neo nazi convinced the marine scout snipers to adopt the SS logo in the 1980s and they kept it for thirty loving years before anyone said anything.

People I know keep posting poo poo about how antifa is horrible and proves the left is just as bad. I'm sorry but most times antifa is fighting back against literal Nazis so they'll never be as bad. I also notice all of the older people i see posting about right wing stuff are baby boomer types trying to maintain a desperate grasp of their reality in which they're the great white redeemer or whatever. When brown people get too much freedom it's obviously bad for everyone. Riot Carol Danvers fucked around with this message at 01:49 on Aug 30, 2017 |
