It isn't just buzzwords, it's jargon with specific meaning... but your comment highlights the problem, because you didn't understand it.

One part you didn't understand was "bandwidth", which in the management context means "available work capacity". This means it's a discussion about resource staffing and constraints. Also, "align" means there's going to be some two-way negotiation, in this case to figure out whose employees are going to take on what part of the work based on their availability. (Well, probably. "Align" could have been used out of politeness, implying a fictional intention to negotiate when in reality the speaker does plan to dictate.) In addition, the use of "workflow" implies that the plan to be developed isn't just for one project, but for an ongoing effort.

Try translating all of that nuance to standard English, and you'll convert a ten-word sentence into a paragraph or two. Like all jargon, its purpose is to increase communication by compressing a lot of detailed information into a few words that have context-specific meaning that goes beyond their normal English definitions.

Of course, the downside of the jargon is that it prevents those who don't understand the contextual definitions from understanding, causing them to come away with interpretations like "Let's meet after this and make sure you understand how I want that to work."

In fairness to you, I have to point out that often the users of business jargon don't know what it means either, and are just using it to make themselves sound "businessy". That's less a jargon problem than evidence that the company isn't hiring the best people.

Judas Priest was sued in 1990 because the parents claimed the band had planted suicidal messages in one of their songs that led to a suicide pact.

Angry grieving parents will often lash out at a convenient external cause, in part so that they don't have to face the reality that the odds are more likely they were an agent in the suicide.

That seems extremely unlikely.

All of the other strategies for responding to Trump have failed. Outrage at his antics (which is, granted, the most sensible response) just encourages him and his supporters. Ignoring his behavior just normalizes and enables it. Mockery works best, but direct mockery hasn't been very effective because the GOP leadership and his supporters simply pretend that his comments and language are normal and that the people making fun of him are being elitist. What Newsom is doing actually does work, because they can't ignore either the message or the mockery, but they also can't really attack it because that would obviously and implicitly criticize Trump, too.

The only other option I see is passively waiting for Trump's bad policies to convince the voters that he's an idiot. In fact, they're not going to be convinced until they see the results, but the Democrats need to do something to make it clear that he is an idiot with bad policies so they're positioned to capitalize on souring sentiment, and the normal ways of doing that aren't working. Voters are getting quite angry about Democrat passivity. Ridiculing Trump in this way is working, at least for now, similar to but better than Walz' comments about how Trump and Vance were weird. The effectiveness may fade, and Newsom will stop. Or maybe it'll keep being effective as long as Trump keeps posting his incoherent rambling, which isn't going to stop until Trump himself is no longer relevant. But either way, it will stop being effective, and continuing after that would just make Newsom look like an idiot. There is no way Democrats are going to adopt Trump's style as the new thing, though I hope they will take the hint to move away from repetition of carefully-wordsmithed and thoroughly focus group-tested talking points and toward something a little more authentic.

I may or may not be to the right of you. I'm a classical liberal, what some call a neoliberal, and I usually describe myself as a pragmatic libertarian.

Indeed.

And yet they never seem to see the humor in it!

I think a lot of us are just waiting for MAGAts to realize that the corrupt, fascist, populist regime they've chosen is really not what they wanted. They won't listen to us until they come to that realization on their own, and until they do, the GOP is just going to continue its slavish devotion to Trump.

Uh, no. I, for one, am writing a lot of emails and letters to my (GOP) representatives, trying to remind them that the Constitution they've sworn to uphold really matters and that they shouldn't just let Trump walk all over it. They're ignoring me, and I'm sure they'll continue to do so until their constituents wake up. I'll keep sending the emails and letters, though.

Newsom isn't turning himself into a clown show, he's just playing, to shine a light on how big of a clown show Trump is. As soon as everyone stops ignoring the Trump's illiterate and incomprehensible posts, Newsom will stop, because for him it's just a performance to poke fun at Trump. For Trump, it's who he is.

Newsom's posts say nothing one way or the other about whether he can beat Trumpism, nor whether he would be a good president. But he's doing a public service by highlighting the way Trump gets sanewashed by the media and his idiocy ignored by his followers.

When will people marry his declarations and musings with the fact that he's marching Federally-controlled troops into cities to "fight crime". What the hell does everyone think is going to happen in next year's mid-terms when armed forces loyal specifically to Trump with little or no objection from Congress or the Supreme Court starting "guarantee" a "fair vote".

Everything he and the Republicans have been working towards since the claims of Obama's ineligibility has been preparing for the moment when they move in to seize control of state voting apparatus. He'll do what he's done with everything else and claim it's a "national emergency."

And MAGA will cheer while the Democrats put on their sackcloths and roll around in the dust crying about how they were impotent. The American people have chosen, they want tyrants who rule by fiat, engineer and weaponize crises to entrench their power.

The political system the Framers came up with was always a steaming pile of crap. Bagehot pulled apart deftly in the 1860s, explaining that the only thing that made it work was the "American genius for politics". Well, that's done. The Democrats are frozen in place, the Republicans, ruled by oil barons and sociopathic billionaires, intend on building a dictatorship with the shape of the American republic, but where checks and balances once existed, will be impotent paper tigers.

It's too much money and too much privilege. The billionaires really do think they're superior lifeforms that should receive automatic deference, and when they collide with reality, they show their true nature; emotionally stunted children.

Welcome to my Foe list. Not because you disagreed with me, heck you might even have had some good points. But you chose ad hominem rather than productive engagement, which makes you not worth talking to, so I'll just have /. hide your posts from me.

How about a one-year study instead?

It's a dating safety app for women. I think we can guess who used the hacked data to dox women, and the kind of people that justify that.

Actually, lawyers, when speaking legally, have their own version of English, often using Latin borrow-words, specifically to counteract any evasive and ambiguous word use.

That depends on the methods used. Apparently there are new processes being developed that can extract higher percentages out of lower percentage ores using less energy with effectively 100% recycling, leading to less pollution.
Basically, very careful electrolysis, use of electroplating techniques to pull the desired metallic elements out.
But it requires very specific chemicals, temperature, and electrical to work, so a lot of development work and it is still fussy.

Seems like there might be some downsides to that. We should probably understand those first.

I got my computer science degree at a college of engineering and mining.
There's a copper/gold mine where actual mining stopped a century or so ago, but they've reprocessed the tailings 7 times now. They're planning to keep operating forty years more.
