The Feast of Incompetents

True. Biden is worse than Obama and Carter combined in what concerns foreign policy. Keeping the massively incompetent Jack Sullivan around is an enormous mistake. Overall, finding the most incompetent people for responsible roles is the great talent of this administration. From Kamala Harris to Sullivan, we are at the mercy of egregiously stupid, bumbling individuals.

    I mostly agree with this but it can all be boiled down to that first sentence: “The Biden doctrine is that no US ally shall win a war.”

  2. They’re belivers in the Emerald Tablet, even if they pervert it: as above, so below.

    If that’s what the US does for foreign policy, imagine what it’s doing for domestic policy.

    Oh, but wait, we don’t have to imagine, we’re seeing it now!

    “Biden is worse than Obama and Carter combined in what concerns foreign policy.”

    The person you’re looking for is Warren G. Harding who was popular until everyone learned about all of the sneaky shit that he did, such as the Teapot Dome scandal.

    And the US still has time for another Teapot Dome as Biden has allowed the “Strategic Petroleum Reserve” to run down to nearly nothing, positioning Biden to be ready to accept bribes for awarding contracts to fill it up again.

    Because Barry wasn’t wrong about Biden: there’s every possible way Joe can fuck things up.

    “As above, so below” means that it’s not just at the top or near the top, it’s at every layer.

    But it’s not just incompetence, it’s also outright fraud.

    It’s the mechanic who’s doing a routine procedure for you, but doesn’t like that this is all of the work he gets out of you, not understanding that you intend to dump the vehicle soon, so he “accidentally” allows the jacketing around a medium-pressure hose to get cut so he’ll have plenty of time diagnosing the potentially hard to isolate engine problem and all of the ECU codes it would pop up a few days later.

    It’s the worker you have who’s quietly stealing from you, doing so in a very small way where you’ll probably not notice it for a long time, but he’s been enabled by nearly all of your staff, including some who aren’t stealing, but are covering it up because they don’t want to deal with the problems.

    Forensics are great for uncovering this stuff.

    So we then had a vehicle with extra attention given to it by honest mechanics at that dealer’s cost, which was sold with nice new OEM parts in it because we weren’t going to export it, and we also had an empty warehouse owned by an REIT who also owns the ranch because they’re on the same property.

    As for the company that employed all of those people, all but two were fired with cause for being in on the theft in some way, and the other two got nice severance packages and big exit bonuses so the company could be closed administratively with a head count below the BLS reporting requirements.

    As for the equipment, one piece required hacking the firmware so it could be used outside of a “maintenance contract”, as the company that produced it didn’t want to extend the already purchased contracts out to the new owner. Despite this costing them a customer and literally costing them no money, they thought it would be better to continue the contracts grifting.

    Instead, one weekend I helped hack this piece of equipment, and so now the new owner can do the things with it for which he’d purchased it and hoped for an honest continuation of use.

    So as much as I would like to accommodate your view that it’s incompetence, I am more inclined to see it all as fraud.

    It’s fraud when not a single doctor I could find within 100 miles of the ranch could address my medical needs without trying to stick me on some drug or combination of drugs that would hurt me in some way.

    While it’s incompetence not to pay attention to the results of a CYP450 genetic screening for prescribing, it’s fraud to continue to do business as usual knowing what those results are.

    This happened in the UK with the NHS, happened in the US with these doctors, and that’s really how I lost that chunk of memory, a thing that was avoidable except for doctors perpetuating fraud.

    And so: Biden’s a fraud, O’bozo’s a fraud, Carter was especially a fraud.

    I heard some scuttlebutt about Carter from overly talkative engineers who would know that he got his nuke engineering degree on the basis that he would never actively practise engineering using that credential, and so he was at least that bad.

    But there are layers upon layers upon layers of fraud in the US.

    One day you discover that a global company’s refrigerant was “responsible” for an “ozone hole”, which it probably wasn’t because ozone layer fluctuations are a natural occurrence, and then you discover a new series of refrigerants was created that make that non-problem less of a problem, but only gradually, so that the company could continue to sell product improvements at a mass adoption level rather than at a maintenance level.

    Having governments step in to outlaw the old refrigerants made it possible to force that mass adoption level of consumption, of course.

    Would that not also count as fraud rather than incompetence with the original formulation and its interim replacements?

    Would that outright and blatant fraud actually surprise anyone now?

    As above, so below.
