Matthew Yglesias: "The Republican Party has developed a perverse affection for rich tax cheats and as a result, Donald Trump is axing America’s tax enforcement capacity and risking a collapse of voluntary compliance."

I did not expect to be defending Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, but after a critic wrote: "The Pentagon is in disarray under Hegseth’s leadership. The dysfunction is now a major distraction for the president — who deserves better from his senior leadership” I have to disagree.

No, Pres. Trump does not deserve better. Trump deserves problems that discredit his criminal, chaotic, and destructive Administration.

After Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth punished his top people, he is "without a chief of staff, deputy chief of staff, or senior adviser." The word for this is #mismanagement. “There is a complete meltdown in the building, and this is really reflecting on the secretary’s leadership”:

Trump's tariffs let Trump corruptly enrich himself while ruining America's relationships with other nations. Solving these new problems should be the top priority of Secretary of State Marco Rubio, but instead: "State tells employees to report on one another for ‘anti-Christian bias’.":

#Trump has only been in office two months and we're already heading towards a #recession — largely due to his careless use of #tariffs and #mismanagement of the #economy. This shouldn't be surprising. Trump doesn't understand the economy and tanked pretty much every #business he ever touched. Watch.

Tom Malinowski: "Secretary of State Marco Rubio sent three USAID team members to assess the terrible earthquake in Burma, and then he fired them while they were there. Whether you think America should or shouldn't help people in need around the world, there is no justification for such stupidity."

"When conquering armies storm across borders or into rebel strongholds,
they set about finding ways to humiliate the people they find there.
They are capricious and cruel.
They want their enemies to understand their own insignificance."

This explains the destructiveness of Musk and his immature DOGE incels:

"The White House immediately decapitated the agency,
putting 65 senior staff members on administrative leave."

Question for higher ed archaeology types concerning the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) and how your University is making sure it is in compliance.

Is it true that most Universities that are in a position to adjust their operations to comply with NAGPRA are putting significant and (some would say) unjust heat on members of their archeology faculty and staff?

I'm trying to see if there's a pattern: by putting their archaeology faculty in a jackpot, scapegoating them for past University compliance failures, they are "demonstrating" that they are taking NAGPRA seriously. The more they punish their faculty, the better they look to the feds and their peers. (Even though NAGPRA is a University compliance issue, not a faculty compliance issue like IRB or FCOI.)

I look forward to responses, expecting that they will be anonymized to protect the guilty and innocent.

Someone in the Washington Post's newsroom (who would be fired if his or her name was leaked) wrote: "In one action, in one day, our owner (Bezos) did 10,000 more damage to our revenue, subscriber base, credibility, and reputation than any erosion during entire eras of wayward newsroom strategy through the 21st century. It's astonishing that leadership is turning its back on us and talking about 'growth mode'." #mismanagement

#GrandGulfNuclearStation, troubled #NuclearPlant, reemerges as hot topic as electric bills soar

Latest outage at #Entergy property comes as regulators press dispute over performance

By SAM KARLIN and MATT SLEDGE | Staff writers Aug 7, 2022

"For years, regulators in #Louisiana, #Mississippi and #Arkansas have fought to force #EntergyCorp to pay refunds for alleged #mismanagement and problematic #bookkeeping at its massive #GrandGulfNuclearPowerStation, in #PortGibsonMississippi.

"Grand Gulf has now been offline for more than three weeks. It’s the latest in a series of outages at the plant, where unreliability has been a central gripe of regulators. The shutdown is forcing the utility to buy expensive natural gas to make up for the lost power generation, squeezing customers who are already facing skyrocketing bills - and adding another layer to the long-running dispute over Entergy’s alleged mismanagement of the power plant.

[...]

"The latest litigation, which began last year, centers around outages at the plant; the Grand Gulf was the least reliable nuclear plant in the U.S. from 2018 to 2020, according to figures compiled by the Nuclear Energy Institute [#NEI]."

In case you feel like climbing on board a 787 or 737 Max in the next little while... this might disabuse you of such a consideration:

“Discussing Swampy’s death and the whistleblower lawsuit he left behind, the longtime former Boeing executive told me, “I don’t think one can be cynical enough when it comes to these guys.” Did that mean he thought Boeing assassinated Swampy? “It’s a top-secret military contractor, remember; there are spies everywhere,” he replied. More importantly, he added, “there is a principle in American law that there is no such thing as an accidental death during the commission of a felony. Let’s say you rob a bank and while traveling at high speed in the getaway you run down a pedestrian and kill them. That’s second-degree murder at the very least.””
