Also there were better system incentives to be cunning, smart, or even just self-preserving. But those incentives are no more. It matters little if you’re cunning or smart, only if you’re already wealthy. So we get fewer cunning elites because they don’t need to be cunning.

Then incentives to be cruel and dehumanizing however remains.

I think this is spot on. The American ruling classes really have become unspeakably stupid and ossified after a couple generations of ruling the world unopposed. This is particularly evident in regards to domestic policy. When you think about it, can you name a single fucker in both houses of congress who could actually design or even plan a modern public transit system? We can’t even get a loving train built connecting San Francisco and Los Angeles, and that’s in just ONE loving STATE. You don’t even need to understand basic infrastructure or engineering or any kind of craft and profession to get elected in America, and it’s been that way for 50+ years. At least politicians back in the New Deal era knew how to build poo poo and understood the importance of public sanitation and disease control, much less give a poo poo.

The only thing you need to know how to do as a politician in America is lie. And it looks like the Israeli status quo is more important to the American ruling classes anyway given how they’re all salivating over literally criminalizing milquetoast critiques of genocide instead of doing literally anything for the American population. Just lol.

quote:

Forty is the new 30 when it comes to the Air Force and Space Force.

Men and women as old as 42 can now pack their boots and bifocals for basic training, under a policy change that gives the two services the highest age limit for recruits of all the military branches except the Coast Guard.

The previous maximum age for Air Force recruits was 39, a change authorized in 2014, when the service raised its enlisted accessions age limit from 27.

Raising the cutoff by three years aligns the Air Force and the Space Force with the maximum enlistment age allowed by the Pentagon. It also comes amid a recruitment crunch.

The Air Force announced last month that it will miss its active-duty recruiting goal by about 10%, its first recruitment shortfall since 1999. The service fell about 2,700 applicants short of its fiscal year 2023 goal of 26,877.

An Air Force memo dated Tuesday that was posted on the service’s website outlines the policy change for both officers and enlisted members.

Comments posted Thursday on the Reddit Air Force channel poked fun at the idea of “middle-aged” recruits.

“42?! Dudes will be enlisting at the age I’m eligible for retirement!” said one comment.

“Just in time for the mid life crisis Dodge Challenger!” said another.

I am interested in most phases of data processing.
Allowing older recruits in the chair force actually seems like a reasonable thing to do. I would wonder about the type of person that would join at that age, however.

The U.S. military is bulk buying Japanese seafood to help offset China's import ban of the products after Japan began releasing treated radioactive water from the Fukushima nuclear power plant in August.

...

Details: The seafood bought by the U.S. military will be used to feed soldiers in military facilities and sold in shops and restaurants on military bases, Emanuel said.

The first purchase was about a metric ton of scallops, a fraction of the 100,000 tons of scallops China imported from Japan last year, per Reuters.
The purchases will gradually grow to include all kinds of seafood, Emanuel told Reuters.

Is that better or worse compared to Japan having to buy rice from US and then just feeding it to animals.

The Space Force today hosts ICBM tests at Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif., where its launch range works with Air Force Global Strike Command to send missiles into the Pacific Ocean.
