What's the point of having a national military if you can't use it to pump taxpayer dollars into corporate coffers?

*scenario*

"Fox company, we'll airdrop a licensed mechanic and a licensed parts salesman onto your position around 0930, as soon as they finish repairing some stuff the enemy captured last year and make their way back to our side of the lines. Division says hold your position as best you can until then -- and remind the riflemen not to use their weapons as clubs, as that will void their warranty. It would be better for the overall war effort to let you position be overrun."

"No, Davies can't fix the autocannon even if your lives depend on it. Division says to shoot him in the arse if he so much as touches it."

They're dragging buzzwords through the water, so see whether they get any nibbles.

Your MBA/PHB eats this shit right up.

They tried to do Jesus, but passengers kept calling security about a hippy boarding the plane.

Remember when the USA took pride in being a melting pot?

Got to be pretty unconventional to count as unconventional in QM.

Being a hippie never goes out of style.

Not everyone has enough money to do groundbreaking things like put a car in orbit.

I saw it when it came out, and thought it sucked donkey doodles.

Don't they know fake news is what everyone wants these days?

Perhaps I'm being too harsh. For example, if their boss is an MBA who gives out raises on the basis of how many pounds+gallons they produce or sell, they would be quite rational to request a report that shows how many pounds+gallons they have produced or sold.
