Robert McNamara's life was like if Shakespeare wrote a tragedy based off of Seeing Like a State
We hired a new guy at work and he fucking rocks. Now, we've hired some great people lately, but they're all supporting staff. I had been thinking we needed to hire another IC, and management did. Another splendid development.

Being pro vax mandate is the actual auth right position.
This is the first such Trump (round 2) statement that is true. We're so back.
NOW - DHS Secretary Noem declares, "The Golden Age of America is here," as travelers no longer need to remove shoes during TSA screenings.
The difference between having a good manager vs not is crazy. People say it, but you don't /understand/ until you've lived it.
Has anyone noticed that libtard tweets and responses have started getting traction again? Nature is, and it gives me no joy to say it, healing.
