https://twitter.com/fritschner/status/1261333237885960193?s=21 Dems are not putting automatic stabilizers in the next relief bill proposal. If automatic stabilizers were there, it would mean that if future stimulus is needed within defined perameters, it's automatic and already passed. So not having those means that if Biden wins, McConnell can demand concessions each time. The stated reason for not doing this is that gosh darn CBO scoring. There is no stated reason why they are deciding to care about the CBO score here. The actual effect here is creating a situation in the near future where we get lots more posts in gip about how neo-pelosi did her best but gosh darn we have no choice but to give ICE mechas and authorize debt bondage again. Shucks!

Foglesong got one lol E: he definitely wrote his own entry in wikipedia posted:Foglesong attained the rank of four-star general in the United States Air Force 5 November 2001, retiring 1 February 2006 from active duty after 33 years of service. His last post was as Commander of U.S. Air Forces in Europe and of Allied Air Component Command Ramstein where the service's enlisted corps honored him with the Order of the Sword.[5] General Foglesong commanded six times during his Air Force service including flying and maintenance units, a Numbered Air Force, and a Major Command. During his final command, General Foglesong continued his established model of using multiple "Combat" programs throughout his command to focus on military discipline and service standards including facilities maintenance, physical readiness, and leadership and mentoring. Some Airmen chaffed under these "Combat" Programs while others saw merit and value in the renewed emphasis on pride, espirit, and mission. Shortly after his retirement, his successor led an effort to reshape these programs begun under Foglesong, dropping two programs and delegating responsibility for 10 of the programs to base and wing commanders. E2: lmao he continued to gently caress poo poo up after leaving the AF quote:Foglesong was President of Mississippi State University from 2006 to 31 March 2008. Foglesong was the second retired general to hold the office of president at the university; Confederate lieutenant general Stephen D. Lee was the first. Foglesong tackled a number of competing internal and external agendas that he saw as undermining the school's purpose of delivering a quality education to its students.[7] Under pressure from politicians, students and faculty,[8] he resigned in March 2008. During his tenure enrollment rose 6% from 16,206 [9] to 17,127 in 2008.[10] He also oversaw a significant change to the school's facilitites and grounds involving removal of longstanding traditional landscaping[11] including removal of daffodil bulbs which had been on the campus for decades.[12] Much of this landscaping was seen as destructive and shortsighted in nature by students and faculty.[13] Foglesong founded a scholarship program in West Virginia called the Appalachian Leadership and Educational Foundation in 2006. He helped to establish the Appalachian Leadership Honors Program at Mississippi State, which now goes by the name Montgomery Leadership Program in honor of former congressman Sonny Montgomery in 2006.[14][15] He has also served as a director of now defunct Massey Energy, a major coal company which closed after flagrant safety violations during his tenure. orange juche fucked around with this message at 23:17 on May 15, 2020 |

Congress authorized the Space Force, Chief Towberman was the first Enlisted, SNCO, and Senior Enlisted Advisor to the Space Force. He’s the chief with all the flair. They’re working out which Airmen will be qualified to transfer to the USSF. (And a smaller number of space specialist Soldiers, Sailors, and Marines), but it looks like it may be more competitive than all encompassing. Like, there is way more interest and enthusiasm for the USSF than there will be slots. If I was still in the USAF I’d be applying to transfer so fast it’d make your head spin. 95% of what the USSF does is classified, or at least details of exactly what they’re doing are classified (Can’t hide that you launched a satellite but you don’t have to say what that bird does for instance, or the X-37b as another example) but that just makes it all sexier and more exciting. The USAF was a good steward of the space mission, but the USSF under the Department of the Air Force is poised to take everything in that mission set to the next level.
