so are they just renaming JFSCC (again) and making big news about it

US Space Command was a COCOM until 2002, when it merged with STRATCOM. There's some kind of a cap in place that limits the number of COCOMs to 10, and they wanted to stand up NORTHCOM so one had to go away. I'm not sure where the cap comes from, if it's just a policy or if it's a law.


This might be the most bass ackwards statement I've ever seen.

Hmmmm, I took this job where almost the entire workforce speaks Spanish. And I don't really need to converse with them for the purpose of doing the job or safety; I just want to be able to chat it up during breaks or prep time. Should I learn some Spanish? Nah, I should probably complain about it to a national reporter.

In case you were tempted to read the article or hate yourself, lemme give you this preview, which I swear is actually in the article:

quote:

And a thin, ashen woman, whom no one greeted or even seemed to notice, suddenly smiled.

There he was. Standing near the lockers. Tall and crew-cut. Her boyfriend.

“Hi,” said Heaven Engle, 20.

“Hey,” replied Venson Heim, 25.

quote:

the story of the coming decades will be, to some degree, the story of how white people adapt to a changing country. It will be the story of people like Heaven Engle and Venson Heim, both of whom were beginning careers on the bottom rung of an industry remade by Latinos, whose population growth is fueling that of America, and were now, in unusually intense circumstances, coming to understand what it means to be outnumbered.

Not speaking Spanish at the meat-packing factory. That's what I call being outnumbered in unusually intense circumstances.

I read that article this morning and the only two things that I could say: 1) LEARN loving SPANISH YOU CHUD, and 2) both of them are about two shifts away from hoisting tiki torches.

Like seriously. You work at a chicken plant. You want to be a shift leader? Learn Spanish, you need it to order the workers around. Of course the article doesn't mention wanting to be a shift leader because I doubt the chudette even considered it.

I'm sure he thinks it's being in the poor house, not corporate bankruptcy.

I try not to bring up politics when I visit, the last time I did it got heated when he denied that Alabama's voter ID law had a racial bent to it. When I pointed out that after requiring IDs the legislature moved to close ID stations in majority black counties, his response was "what, you don't think black people are capable of driving one county over to get an ID?" Like a policy has to be effective for it to be racist.

Unfortunately even when I try to talk about neutral subjects like baseball, he circles back to not watching sports anymore because of all the politics brought in by the commentators and players. Everything is 2 degrees of separation from right wing talking points with him.

At the yard I work at the people who like trump and trump style politics are the ones who get most of their news from Facebook and spend a lot of time sharing links showing how "Sharia law is taking over Canadian law" type stuff and are just racist people who aren't afraid to show their true colours in public anymore.

Facebook is probably half the problem to this whole thing. It needs to be more heavily moderated, imagine if these forums were as loose as Facebook is

"When Heaven graduated high school in the spring of 2016, she had no desire to leave Fredericksburg. College didn’t interest her, because she hated school and wasn’t great at it, and she didn’t want to go out and see the world, either. She believed that everything she’d ever need was already here, so she felt content to apply for a job at Bell & Evans, whose water tower looms over the town, and where just about everyone she knew had already worked."

:qq: I refuse to do anything that may allow me some upward mobility so instead i'm gonna piss and moan about how no one I work with speaks English while refusing to learn Spanish :qq:

I’m curious about how such stories even start. Do reporters ask for people to reach out to them with such stories? And if so, how would Heaven even know about that to respond to the reporter. I don’t believe Heaven is an avid newsie.
