OGB of Defense Acquisitions

Dad, husband, PCar enthusiast, fly-fisher, space acquisitions, defense policy voyeur. Cynical because I care.

@erisverne @unusual_whales Go read the WSJ

This is a dangerous anti-privacy bill (identity verification) that the House of Representatives might try to pass by voice vote this afternoon before many of us are even in town. Senators Mike Lee, Rand Paul, and Ron Wyden voted against a similar bill in the Senate two years ago.

Warning! This is moving fast.

Congress is rushing the KIDS Act to expand the surveillance state under the guise of “protecting kids.”

Identity checks to use the internet.

Government monitoring and control of all Americans.

It’s coming if you don’t act now.

Tell Congress: No!

This New Glenn rocket explosion released 20% of the energy of the Hiroshima atomic bomb and that wasn't even the bad part:

→ The pad: LC-36 is the only pad on Earth that launches New Glenn and now it's gone. Over $1B to build. SpaceX needed 7 months to rebuild after a similar hit.

→ The deadline: Amazon needs 1,618 satellites up by July 30 to keep its FCC license. It has ~300. The rocket that was supposed to help fix that just blew up twice in a row

SpaceX made us believe that landing rockets on barges was a normal expectation. Turns out rocket science is hard after all. Wishing the team a speedy recovery 🚀

🧵We all saw Gabriel Zucman's NYT op-ed justifying the California wealth tax proposal, along with ostentatious claims that billionaires pay lower tax rates than average Americans. Let's dig into the methodology...

@kelmdm @DavidTangipa No I won’t, because I’m not “chronically” unemployed and I don’t wallow in my disability as an excuse not to feed my family.

@kelmdm @DavidTangipa Criminalizing crime still works!

@pj221 @pgessing @bobkkob Gee, this is just a low effort excuse and not worth a 3 of the per pupil costs to boot.

@pinkfranken @n3ro @robbysoave How? Did they not enter into a consensual agreement to exchange their labor for money? If he wasn’t paying them, they would quit.

[OGB of Defense Acquisitions @CynicalMajor]

@dblblndradio @n3ro @robbysoave Rim Cook earned approximately .30 for Avery iPhone sold. This is less than a fraction of the overall price and I would say well earned!

@YoungbloodJoe @just_mindy Nothing prevents a citizen from starting and owning a Mexican business. As long as the business is a Mexican business and banks in Mexico it’s legit. Finally, the business (company) owns the home, not the US citizen.

@united again with the maintenance problems preventing passengers from moving, sowing ill will toward the company and affecting the bottom line. DEN to IAD has to go back to a gate that isn’t available and now we are all stuck on the ramp.

@thetiebar I placed an order on the 27th and chose Overnight FEDEX for $32 and the order is still sitting, waiting to be fulfilled.

Your website says, “we aim to ship all orders within one business day whenever possible” it’s now been 48 hours.

I want my shipping money back!

@B_DiNucci6 @Verysimpleidea @grok how many linear miles of road exists in CO vs TX?

[OGB of Defense Acquisitions @CynicalMajor]

@stfuydfr @chamath So 2/3rds vote in a supermajority state. They can do whatever they want with law…2/3rds…

@realObamaSucks @RebeccaTucker85 @PacificLegal I would actually say yes, curse away on the side of a building, assuming you own it.

If Doctors support national healthcare, I too would be in support but I would expect salaries to be on par with the UK. Convince me I’m wrong.
