Posted 1 day ago by Gary Charpentier Post: South Vietnam collapsed because its totally corrupt ruling elites had no credibility among the people, a fact that the U.S. was never able to change.Not sure Benji is doing all that well either. https://www.timesofisrael.com/netanyahu-is-unpopular-at-home-but-not-for-the-reasons-us-lawmakers-are-turning-on-him/ wrote: A January poll by Israel’s Channel 13 found that 55% of Israelis say Netanyahu’s decisions are driven primarily by personal interests https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/only-15-israelis-want-netanyahu-keep-job-after-gaza-war-poll-finds-2024-01-02/ wrote: Only 15% of Israelis want Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to stay in office after the war on Hamas in Gaza ends |

Posted 2 days ago by Gary Charpentier Post: https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2024/04/22/california-solar-duck-curve-rooftop/ But now, the state and its grid operator are grappling with a strange reality: There is so much solar on the grid that, on sunny spring days when there’s not as much demand, electricity prices go negative. Gigawatts of solar are “curtailed” — essentially, thrown away. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zX2n2-acksw&t=360s I thought Electric Cars Were the Future. I Changed My Mind |

Posted 5 days ago by Gary Charpentier Post: Pull ALL the drives magnetic, floppy, optical, SSD, not just the data cable but also the power cable. See if you get beeps or if it drops into a BIOS screen. Then if nothing, also remove the video card and listen for beeps. (Just bare MB nothing connected) If nothing, pull the RAM and listen. If nothing, pull the battery, wait some considerable time and try, without battery. You are now down to just two things, the power supply or the MB. |

Posted 6 days ago by Gary Charpentier Post: Ah, you presuppose there will be a next time. Perhaps you should look at yourself and see why you are such a strong magnet.Let's assume the opposite: There won't be a next time. That would mean Iron Dome, David's Sling and Arrow are a pretty stupid waste of money. I doubt it was a stupid investment, but rather one that enabled Israel to procrastinate. Of what? To fix the cause. Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad are only symptoms, but no longer contributory causes. Decades in this conflict, one of the last remaining root causes is a bunch of old, senile men in Tehran; who fear every day they will be thrown into the Orcus of history by the younger, more enlighted generations. Switch sides, use "haredim" instead of Tehran. |

Boeing: Profits 1st, Safety 2nd? (Part 3)
(Message 2134799)
Posted 12 days ago by Gary Charpentier Post: I'm not a business economist. But I assume 'revenues' aren't profits.High costs - labor - is what they will cut, because that is what every company cuts when faced with losses. It is always the single largest non-fixed cost. They offer their best and thus their highest paid generous severance because after all, there is no difference in human production units. It's only 'Global services' which is profitable; presumably maintenance, parts, repairs.Software and publications. This is ubiquitous monopoly products in essentially all aircraft from Airbus all the way down to kit built. And they are subscription products, with a 28 day lifecycle. It may also include full motion simulators. As to parts, you have forgotten the previous CEO declared they don't build, they assemble. Sold off their parts divisions as parts. Suddenly they need to buy back the parts business. As to maintenance all the airlines have their own maintenance facilities, except the micro who then subcontract the majors or independents for service. Now Renton may refit cabins when seating layouts are changed because that is more major that the airlines want to do in their service facilities, but there are specialist companies to do that infotainment stuff. |

Posted 13 days ago by Gary Charpentier Post: Selling airplanes isn't the only thing they do. https://s2.q4cdn.com/661678649/files/doc_financials/2023/ar/Boeing-2023-Annual-Report.pdf Page 24, more of their revenue comes from anything but commercial airplanes.Someone should explain to Wall Street that Boeing could sell a lot more airplanes and make a lot more profit if they hadn't screwed up their manufacturing process. Are shareholders daft?Meanwhile, will any of the previous and existing 'leadership' pick up their responsibilities and be brought to book and imprisoned for their actions or lack of care and lack of concern for life?...Are you daft? They raked in the money for Wall Street, legally that is their only concern. |
