Even Biden supporters want this motherfucker gone like what are we doing here?

In my new report, I provide the first ever look inside of a US military program known as the Secretary of Defense Executive Fellows (SDEF) program, which gives major government contractors like Lockheed Martin and Boeing a way to influence senior military policymakers.

The program sends US military officers to work at major corporations for nearly a year; when they return, the fellows submit recommendations for reform of the Pentagon based on their observations of the private sector. 

We document numerous examples of companies using this program to pass along self-interested policy recommendations to US military leaders, including: more outsourcing, corporate subsidies, deregulation, less oversight, more political power to contractors, looser arms export rules, and more. We also analyzed a sample of former SDEF fellows and found that 43% of them go through the revolving door and work for military contractors after leaving the program. As such, the SDEF program uses government money to help subsidize the military-industrial complex, placing corporate interests above the public interest.

You can read my summary of the report here, along with coverage by The Lever here.

Cocaine was a stimulant used by a priestly caste of the middle period United States called businessmen in order to commune with The Market. [1]

I think a cocaine addiction is more ethical than owning four homes in the new york metro area.

thinking about how 4chan users overuse of the slur 'fag' to refer to each other eventually mutated into the word functioning more like a suffix used to denote a callsign, '[identifying detail]-fag', in lieu of people identifying each other by names, and how because of this gay guys would refer to themselves themselves as 'gayfags' when they needed to clarify that they were indeed actually gay when referring to themselves as faggots

the one last year about giving the neighbors something to talk about was bad enough

just when i thought this insultingly out-of-touch ad campaign couldn’t get any worse:

unfortunately i can neither work less (emotionally incapable) nor quit my job so i have no negotiating power
