I’m familiar with a CO and the classes of trainees are getting dramatically smaller. The pay he gets is amazing but few are lining up for the work, so when it comes time to hire, even Prisons looking for good people will strugle to find them, and they’re not all looking for good people. I hear stories of how good COs end up being a real thorn in the side of administration. There are layers and layers of problems going on with prisons, it can be very disheartening.
I can’t believe having the world’s largest prison population is causing so many issues for our government. The issue isn’t prison guards, it’s the locking up of millions of people rather than addressing systemic issues in our society.
Democrats can’t figure it out. They vote mostly on policies and when their team does something so dispicible they cannot in good conscious vote for them, they don’t. The other side however is not voting on morals, but the exact opposite. They are trying to get their team to win just to spite the others and maybe a single issue they care about.
There are many Democrats (and yes I’m ignoring all 3rd party and “independent” because that’s a lie in the USA) who at this point dislike many of the things that the government has done under the Biden term and are on the spite train. Remember it’s only a few hundred people in some places that matter in the election. The larger swings were a few thousand. You could fit every single difference vote that determines the outcome of the election in a sports stadium. And half the seats would still be empty. You don’t need many people to stay F Biden and not vote or vote against for Cheeto to win.
Democrats love to be hopeful. But hope and feels doesn’t win an election after 2008 when it got blacks onboard in 2008. That’s sort of a one time dealio as noticed in 2012 when the vote just disappeared. A woman candidate, Asian, or whatever other minority will also get some hopefy feely votes out. A decrepit old white man that eats ice cream does not.
You can’t really see it clearly but my guess would be it’s a unit hat. The military issues soldiers unit hats to wear as an alternative to normal headgear sometimes. It’s a morale thing since the unit caps tend to be more like baseball caps than military headgear.
here is a shot of some air force civil engineers wearing their unit hats.
Army parachute riggers wear those red hats so they can be picked out of the crowd to assist paratroopers. It could be them or their equivalent in the Air Force, but I’m not sure if Air Force riggers wear the same hats or not.
The people in the photo are rigging the chutes on those pallets and are either Army or Air Force based on the camouflage pattern.
In this case, the US governance sets a target efficiency for vehicles (miles per gallon here in the US) and if a pant does not meet that overall efficiency, they have to pay. EVs are a bit odd because they have a miles per gallon equivalency. So if it is expected for them to have 50% by 2030 (50% cars at 100 MPGe and 50% at like 45 MPG(e)) but they out have 30%,they will have to pay a large fine. They are saying they are okay with that rather than ramp up EV production more quickly.
Essentially companies that pollute over certain threshold pay money (buy carbon credits) that then goes into non-profits compensating for those emissions by saving the environment, like planting trees and such.
The system is widely criticized for being very flawed and allowing all sorts of shenanigans and manipilations, as those “carbon credits” are sold at competitive pricing, fostering projects with questionable calculations.
Bigly wrong, the best wrong! A guy came up to me - big guy, huge, macho guy, tears streaming down his face… he says to me, “sir, I love how amazing your wrong is. It’s fantastic!”
