Hedge fund billionaire John Paulson plans to offshore the East Lake, Ohio, plant of Conn Selmer, the largest U.S. manufacturer of brass and orchestra instruments.
“We can’t have American producers closing American factories and offshoring. We need to protect American jobs and protect American manufacturing,” Paulson said just last year.
As an inveterate imbiber, even a fifth (750ml) of mild spirits (80pf/40%abv) in 15 minutes will get anyone in trouble.
He quit walking the line and dove head first over it.
Well, that explains why corporate is so intent on them. They’re creating the perfect little KPI-driven stooge.
Heck, now I’d like to see a study on KPIs (as a concept) as a reality distortion lens. It would seem like they have inadvertantly created a way to calculate a reality alignment index for a given KPI. Is it reasonable to conclude that using KPIs to measure performance is, in itself, unethical behavior?
To go a bit further: Is there a correlation between the number of KPIs and the likelihood of creating scenarios in which the only desirable outcome lies outside reality? That is, how many KPIs does it take to get sufficient competition between priorities that it effectively requires hallucinating a solution to achieve a sufficiently aligned result?
Or her job!

Nonetheless, I agree with the sentiment.
I got you:
+1 I finally finished my bachelor’s at 31 so I could check a box on job applications. I wouldn’t have my current position without it, useless and inapplicable though it is.
They were famously at odds over that … at least publicly.
It’s also essentially the only thing on his platform today that counts as a “Democratic” position
This stooge is intentionally ratcheting the Overton window.
More neocons in the democratic party.
True! If the Democratic party apparatus can’t galvanize and find a better candidate, it’s just another sign that they’re beyond fully cooked.
I wanted something different from “knife fighter” Ken Martin, but either he’s getting the cold shoulder from the old guard, or he’s pandering to them. Come on Ken, be the Brutus/Longinus to Schumer’s (et al.) Caesar.
This fucking thumb decides to run to the center in a heavily democratic district with his only Democratic bonafide being anti-trump. This isn’t laudable at all. It risks losing a potentially progressive seat to a Lincoln project/bulwark conservative “Democrat.”
If he wanted to do some actual good, he could primary a MAGAt republican in a safely red district. But no.
Apologies, 6yr full service warranty, 12yr system warranty.

This is the debate we had when redoing our kitchen. It hurt me to add $8k to the bill (the difference) just for the fridge, but it really is genuinely a different experience. At least it came with a 6 year manufacturer warranty too.
The drawers glide smoothly on real hinges with a soft close, the shelves are individually lit and glass, what plastic there is is thicker and smoother. Everything is easy to adjust or remove for cleaning. It even has a cartridge that removes ethylene gas and produce stays noticeably much fresher.
And as a bonus, I got to support a union manufacturer in the US (subzero).
They have some very premium brands as well, that definitely deserve praise: hardin’s creek, little book especially.
Anything labeled Jim beam is swill to meh (except Lineage, but you’ll never see that on a shelf). The old grandad (bonded or 114) line is bang/buck.
Love it. Gives a new meaning to JBOD too: junk box of disks!
Hey, you forgot his most important qualification: children’s book author.
I was going to buy the Lego Star Trek enterprise, but it was sold out before I got there. Oh well, they saved me from myself with artificial supply restrictions.
Instead, I didn’t buy anything.
There were decorations for sale at Costco in California in late August. Decorative gourd season decorations hadn’t even shown up yet.
Absolutely.
This irony, however, is delicious.
See everyone, the tech oligarchs totally will save us!
