even if they do convict them of anything it won't matter. they'll be pissant sentences in white collar resorts and the pricks will still be rich when they get out how many hundreds of millions of dollars did they get paid to leave

"While the wording of the bill may have a veneer of legitimacy, Mastriano’s past behavior suggests he believes there’s more going on here. In addition to saying his bill “will mirror” a Tennessee bill that claims the government is conducting “geoengineering experiments by intentionally dispersing chemicals into the atmosphere,” he also has a history of posting overt nods to the long-debunked chemtrail conspiracy theory. After losing the governor’s race back in 2022, he posted four photos of contrails along with the caption “Over Franklin County today” before linking to a post about solar geoengineering. And back in November, he posted another photo of contrails with the caption “I have legislation to stop this. I took this at 4:15pm Monday in Chambersburg. Normal contrails dissolve / evaporate within 30-90 seconds.” " `Nemesis fucked around with this message at 22:57 on Mar 26, 2024 |

So does reporting work similar to reddit insofar as it results in an anonymous notification with a reason for said report and the referenced post? I don't think I've ever reported a post.

Here's a pretty infuriating story about the Boeing whistleblower who allegedly committed suicide the other week: Suicide Mission: What Boeing did to all the guys who remember how to build a plane I could quote the entire thing, but here's a few sentences that stood out to me: quote:Like most neoliberal institutions, Boeing had come under the spell of a seductive new theory of “knowledge” that essentially reduced the whole concept to a combination of intellectual property, trade secrets, and data, discarding “thought” and “understanding” and “complex reasoning” possessed by a skilled and experienced workforce as essentially not worth the increased health care costs. CEO Jim McNerney, who joined Boeing in 2005, had last helmed 3M, where management as he saw it had “overvalued experience and undervalued leadership” before he purged the veterans into early retirement.

Googles “when did 3M buy that company that made the bad earplugs that gave all the veterans hearing loss?”

3M famously has almost as many products as it does employees. So, I am sure that each roll of tape has its specific production ‘knowledge’ of IP and processes written down in a way that when they need another million rolls of this or that particular version they just pop open the recipe book and make it. They probably also have a pretty good set of steps to make a new type of tape with slightly different characteristics. Rolls of tape or sheets of plastic aren’t an aircraft though.

Reading that is extremely creepy because it explains what my employer (a multinational property/casualty/financial insurance company) put me & my colleagues through between 2008-2017. We had no idea what was going on. Folks lost to attrition (quit to find other jobs or careers) were not replaced, and the workload became untenable. Our division dealt with the public, and while this was going on, they were running very public campaigns stressing customer service, grading us severely on such service, getting JD Powers & other surveys, etc. all the while being stone-deaf to our complaints that what they were saying was in no way matched by what they were doing. It was insane & we couldn't figure it out. We were the field staff. We had literally centuries of experience on offer. They clearly had no idea how to do our jobs (let alone manage us), and it was apparent that they didn't give a poo poo. It had to be some species of this. The micro version of this is sitting on hold on a robot voicemail tree while a non-human voice comes on every 15-seconds to apologize, hey, you're actually Very Important To Us, You Matter, and We Care. What's sad and a little frightening is the death of meritocracy in this country. Once all the people that know how to actually do and make things are 'eliminated,' what then?
