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.
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?
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.
Love it. Gives a new meaning to JBOD too: junk box of disks!
I even got a victory lap email from my dem rep. Who signed onto one of the other bills that would have given trump a path forward.
Goddamn warhawks.
