i have kids and dogs and I'm sympathetic to the dog owners on this one. They've been slowly excluded from everywhere else and kids drop poison entirely by accident because kids are kids.

when the two competing interests here are "dog owners" or "ruthless corporations making billions in profit every month and smug in their ownership of the federal government" I'm not gonna side with the rail industry and take a park away from dogs.

cool, it's not an argument about demolishing the dog park and banning dogs forever

impossible to maybe move a fence a lil, or build another fence. problem can't be solved. gently caress them kids

I'm looking forward to the day that AI actually is truly guiding cybernetic capitalism, and then it tells the elite that they need to chill out and not take absolutely everything so that the working class has an alternative to killing them all.


And then they'll turn the AI off because that's totally anathema to their ideology and desires.

Remember '08? They bailed out Bear-Stearns, and then the next time they got all :colbert: about bailing someone out, and so we had Lehman Brothers.

We're re-running that extremely successful playbook! At least, I think it was successful. Now, to take a big sip of my drink and look up historical economic data starting shortly after the Lehman Brothers collapse...

I just finished reading Too Big to Fail, inspired by the SVB problems. I definitely got the vibes of a repeat of "we bailed out this bank but now we really have to make it clear that we won't bail out others, which totally tanks confidence" from there with this. Obviously it's a slightly different scale

SVB went from "troubled" on March 9/10 to "vaporized" the next week. FRB was showing serious structural issues back in March and it looks like the bill's come due this week.

to be honest if I had to grade layoffs at a manufacturer this would be the best kind

Tyson isn't laying off it's actual workforce that produces things and needs the jobs because they are barely getting by. This is "Corporate and Senior Leadership" so the legion of Directors and Chief Officers. Each type of Tyson offering has what is essentially a full mini-corporation in it full of worthless executives. Human Resources probably has a half dozen Vice Presidents for different regions.

Manufacturers actually targeting the real waste is a pretty funny concept. If it continued eventually you'd see former $500,000/yr Vice Presidents of Operations For Frozen Cooked Chicken driving for Uber because the market on absurdly overpaid people that don't do anything but have decades of C-Suite experience is completely saturated

unfortunately any savings from these layoffs will just be stolen by the remaining executives so it's not like workers would see a benefit from this. They'll probably be laid off too.

I think it's because they think other banks are on the brink of blowing up too and they're worried the banks will just let it happen because the government will bail them out. So they make an example of FRB and make it clear that other banks will not be rescued, so get their finances in order pronto.

Or, at least, that's my guess. Who knows what the gently caress's going on.

And they’d absolutely be driving for Uber because none of these bloated middle management types have any idea what to do with their money and blow it all on Teslas and lifestyle coolers.

The Navy plans on selling off six of its much-maligned littoral combat ships to U.S. allies through the Defense Department’s Foreign Military Sales program after just a few years at sea, according to the service’s recently-released shipbuilding plan.

We're just going to sell off the Little Crappy Ships to our allies for couch change. Another resounding success for the military industrial complex. The ships suck and should have never been built, but we got them under a plan that says they were supposed to cost $400 million each.

"In the fiscal year 2011, the unit cost was $1.8 billion and the program cost $3.7 billion."

Reminds me of when the Navy decided to make a new fire support platform, built a new destroyer around new guns, and then the guns can only fire rounds that cost $1,000,000 each so they're taking the guns off to replace them with missiles which are cheaper than gun rounds.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Gun_System


quote:

AGS can only use ammunition designed specifically for the system. Only one ammunition type was designed, and the navy halted its procurement in November 2016 due to cost ($800,000 to $1,000,000 per round), so the AGS has no ammunition and cannot be used.

Oh. We didn't buy any ammo so we just can't shoot those guns at all.

Man the Navy's been trying to build stupid micro battleships to cruise the coastlines since the 1800s, but keep finding out that the equivalent of a frigate does the job better than dozens of these floating garbage piles. They keep scrapping the program but I guess new technology promises that this time this time we can totally park a giant gun on a tiny boat. It'll work this time, you guys! It'll make our coastlines impenetrable. We'll have complete control of our enemy's coastlines. Our allies will beg us to patrol their coastlines. <Off-mic>What do you mean it won't float in the rain? And it can't shoot? Well what can it do? Really? Oyvvvv... Hey, Hey! So umm, we have this new airplane. Shut up... I KNOW it doesn't fly in the rain, SHUT UHHHHP! It'll knock little Emmbeeass right on his rear end. Heh, heh.

I like how America's adversaries are all about submarines... but we still don't have a replacement for the Perry-class for ASW and IIRC the Navy's plan is just rely on (land-based) P-8s for anti-submarine ops.
