The more I read science blogs, the more it seems that all science bloggers everywhere do is argue and provide the evidence for evolution in contrast with creationism/ID/whatever the fuck else
Some others also argue against bullshit medicine (like XMRV and its (non)link to autism or lyme disease) but mostly it consists of knowing a bit about science, knowing where to look to get at the science that disproves these crazy claims, and then writing it in a snarky manner
But KBR is so much better at that than the government is
When the government has actual government employees in charge of this, they just end up hiring random ass Indians to do it. So it still ends up being outsourced, but with a much lower budget.
.....?
I'm not kidding. In most of Iraq and the biggest bases in Afghanistan the dining halls are run by KBR. At the base I'm at now, they're run by a few government workers overseeing Indian workers they hired with their government budget cooking food they bought with the same government budget.
If they had just started by contracting to KBR or some other private company from the top instead of giving the responsibility to government workers for them to contract it out, we'd have a higher quality service for the same amount of money.
That has absolutely nothing to do with what I just said.
It has a lot to do with private contractors being hired to do the military's work for them.
I don't even know what you're arguing at this point. First you were trying to imply that hiring private contractors to do things for the government is inherently bad, as you literally made a comparison between having private companies to supply deployed troops and private prisons which are pretty fucking unethical; I think most of us can agree giving a private corporation a financial interest in a high prison population, or even a low one as the case sometimes is, is not a very good idea.
Now you're saying the problem with private contractors is that, according to you, the military is supposed to be doing these things. The fact that you're changing the matter at hand to some random standard out of nowhere (Unless you're trying to argue that there are certain things which should always be done by the government for some reason, which would be kind of silly) aside, this is not the military's job. Last I checked, the purpose of an armed force was to protect the nation's security and interests. That should not include cooking food and fixing plumbing unless completely necessary.
Do you know why we have private companies produce rations for the DOD? Because even if it was possible for soldiers to grow and/or hunt their own food, it isn't a soldier's job to do that. It also isn't a soldier's job to cook that food, or to sew uniforms, or fix pipes, or circuits, or change light-bulbs, or mop floors. Soldiers do all these things to one degree or another for various reasons, usually because it's easier and cheaper to have the nearest joe mop the hall instead of hiring a janitor to do it, but you've got this backwards. These things are not the military's job. The military's job is to deter wars and fight wars.
I'm pointing out its bad for the government to farm work out to private contractors when its something the government should be handling. Like building prisons. Or supplying and housing troops. When you get a profit motive involved in those needs, bad things happen.
The reason Green Berets get electrocuted to death in the shower is the same reason judges get bought off to send kids to private prisons, profit motives where there aren't supposed to be any.
i am here and available to give advice of dubious reliability
this new interview says 'business dress'.
so far my previous interviews either haven't specified or have said business casual- and i wore dress pants with dress shoes, tucked dress shirt, belt.
if i add a tie can i get away without wearing a jacket? i don't really have one that fits.
i mean, i have been super frugal the last few months, so i could probably go to a thrifstore and swing a $20 jacket or whatever, but i would certainly like to avoid it if possible.
When her underwear came off, I immediately noticed that the waxing trend had completely passed her by.
Obviously, that was a big turnoff, and I quickly lost interest. I said goodnight, rolled over, and went to sleep
So you've got a lady in bed, she isn't waxed and you won't have sex with her? Wow I'm glad the article doesn't have any pictures of him so we could see this greek adonis in person.

i don't personally like ties without jackets. it looks imbalanced to me, like you're a waiter or something.
i'd check out the thrift store offerings if you can swing the $20

I can have showers that assassinate Green Berets with electrical shocks or I can have urine pooling in urinals because the Indian contractors the army hired (As opposed to the American contractors the DOD might hire) can't get them to flush
Both of these are less than ideal, but the big corporation is going to kill people because corporations are evil

And I looked, and behold a pale horse:
and his name that sat on him was Death,
and Hell followed with him.
And Power was given unto them over the
fourth part of the earth, to kill with the sword,
and with hunger, and with death,
and with the beasts of the earth.

And today my mom told me that when she leaves my dad and we move out of our nice place to move into a crappy little apartment (which is really gettin' me down)
she's probably going to let my abusive father keep my cat.

I don't want the army hiring Indian contractors either you know. And gtfo with the corporations are evil shtick. That's not what I said in the least bit. Corporations are motivated by profit, and sometimes that gets in the way of an ideal outcome.
SEriously, you're using personal anecdotal evidence of tasty food against countless reports of fraud, shoddy products, dangerous food, and abusive business practices.

Seriously that gawker article almost makes me want to vote for O'Donnell it's so sleezy.
I wouldn't vote for her, but that article was seriously slime personified. I mean I don't see where the guy is indentified at all, so it could just be some asshole who has photos of her from halloween and then made shit up to get a story out.

I was actually kind of offended at that, and how it was IN BOLD FONT SO THAT THE READER WAS SURE TO NOTICE THAT SHE HAS A HAIRY BUSH
Is it made from the tears of the women they rape and spiced with the blood of dead Iraqi civilians?

Exactly
KBR chow is also not killing insurgents
I don't see the problem
I only do like 300 damage per missile volley. It's not enough to do more than tickle battleships.
The money they make from being cooks goes into funding their baby-raping operations.
