George W Bush in 2003. And no, it wasn't just that he was a moron. There were very smart logistics officers working on the problem. It's an inherent problem. The military normally would much rather over supply an area and write it off after the fighting. Because that means there's always a pallet of whatever you need and a plane or helicopter to transport it. Trying to meet the exact needs means that when something gets blown up, it's replacement isn't even in the right region of the planet.
So to be efficient at blowing shit up you have to accept inefficiency in the back end.
She hasn't confirmed yet but that's how the corporate political caste does things. They use the "soft announcement" to start testing messaging and campaign ideas. Then when they publicly decide they're actually running they can denounce anything from before that.
In California they don't do partisan primaries for state office. It will be her versus Harris the entire way no matter what she writes down for party affiliation.
Harris is going to run and don't you know this was her promised consolation prize. So sorry progressives, maybe in a 100 years when everyone in line in front of you dies?
This is a common misconception. The military isn't designed to be efficient on the back end. It's designed to win wars efficiently, which is an entirely different thing. The last time they tried to be "efficient" with the military the 101st ended up doing the world's fastest ground and air assault on rations because they didn't have enough food and water. And entire battalions got extremely sick from using local water when they absolutely had to.
They don't understand what the people being fired do. There's no marketing or awareness campaigns for the GSA clerks that keep every government office in the country stocked with chairs; or the mental health nurses that pick up the phone at 2 in the morning.
People think it's some white guy just golfing while they collect checks.
If it's good software for a larger program it will execute an install program that does register it. Other stuff should go in a specific folder so you can review what's there.
Yeah but if that task isn't something that someone's life depends on turn it's a pretty dick move.
