It’s worth noting<\/a> that only about 10% of employed Americans worked remotely in March<\/a> because of COVID, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Over half of workers, 50.9%, reported being already required to return in-person full-time, according to Workhuman\u2019s April Human Workplace Index<\/a>, a monthly survey of 1,000 full-time U.S. workers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ok, so here\u2019s the point: Despite all the big talk and incredible claims, when push came to shove, the Army had nothing\/NOTHING to use as a basis for planning<\/a>. Lord knows we threw enough time and money at the problem, but in the end, Schwarzkopf just had to pray that we had enough combat power when our troops rolled across the line. He would have given anything up to half his kingdom for the QJM at that moment. He had a lot of opinions to choose from, but nothing solidly based on history. And frankly, I don\u2019t think the situation has changed in the intervening 30 years. Now that the chips are down, people aren\u2019t likely to care WEI\/WUVs were developed by the opinions of various branch influence groups. But a model with an historical basis would be worth its weight in gold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


In a story that shows how hard it is to deter a billionaire ravenous for public money<\/a>, Jeff Bezos of Amazon and The Washington Post <\/em>fame appears to have prevailed upon buddies in the Senate to keep alive a childhood dream of not only going to the moon, but getting the public to pay for it. A Bezos company officially lost this moon contract three times in less than a year, but the fourth time\u2019s a charm: thanks to congress, his Jason Voorhees-like determination may be rewarded with a contract worth $6 billion or more. On March 28th, Joe Biden released his fiscal year 2023 budget, which despite eyebrow-raising changes \u2014 in particular, a 10% increase in defense spending<\/a> \u2014 generated few headlines. One of the few items the press did cover was this passage:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cZeitenwende<\/a> is real, but the country is the same,\u201d said Thomas Bagger, a senior German diplomat who will be the next ambassador to Poland. \u201cNot everyone likes it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, TSMC was able to raise rates by the most in over three years<\/a>. The Taiwanese company doesn\u2019t release prices, but we can approximate it from the data it does provide. For the March quarter, it brought in $4,650 for every 12-inch wafer it churned out for customers. That\u2019s 10% higher than the prior quarter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though several militia members explicitly opposed kidnapping<\/a> the governor, Chapel and Robeson helped hatch a ludicrous plot to snatch Whitmer from her vacation home<\/a> and take her away for trial. FBI operatives took the participants, who prattled idiotically about stealing a Blackhawk helicopter, for drives near Whitmer\u2019s vacation home,<\/a> which supposedly proved they were going to nab the governor and unleash havoc. It was all a setup. Shortly before that excursion, an FBI agent texted instructions to Chapel: \u201cMission is to kill the governor specifically.\u201d There were as many FBI informants and undercover agents as there were purported plotters in this case.<\/p>\n\n\n

Well, looks like it will be awhile until we can farm. It is a good thing, because it is going to take a shit ton of sun to bust the drill back out! pic.twitter.com\/uEJr0Keea4<\/a><\/p>\n
