DONKIROCK Posted October 10, 2022 Report Posted October 10, 2022 Report: French Rail Company Quit California for ‘Less Dysfunctional’ North Africa Rich Pedroncelli / Associated Press JOEL B. POLLAK 9 Oct 2022338 2:48 The French national railroad company intended to help California build its high-speed rail from San Francisco to Los Angeles, but ended up leaving the state to pursue projects in war-torn North Africa, which the company said was a less “dysfunctional” place. The New York Times published a lengthy essay on Sunday about how California’s “bullet train” failed — despite the fervent desire of Gov. Jerry Brown (D) that it be built, and the investments of both the Obama and Biden administration in its supposed construction. The Times noted: "Now, as the nation embarks on a historic, $1 trillion infrastructure building spree, the tortured effort to build the country’s first high-speed rail system is a case study in how ambitious public works projects can become perilously encumbered by political compromise, unrealistic cost estimates, flawed engineering and a determination to persist on projects that have become, like the crippled financial institutions of 2008, too big to fail." https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2022/10/09/french-rail-company-quit-california-for-less-dysfunctional-north-africa/ Quote

DONKIROCK Posted October 10, 2022 Author Report Posted October 10, 2022 Today’s Military Recruiting Crisis Is Tomorrow’s Retention Crisis The results are in, and the military’s recruiting crisis shows no signs of letting up. A new fiscal year started this past weekend, and the US Army fell 25% short of its target goal for new soldiers. Equally damaging as involuntarily shrinking, all the services are starting the newest recruiting year in a tougher position than the last. While retention is a partial buffer, it is simply duct tape on a bigger problem. Today’s military recruiting crisis is tomorrow’s retention crisis. That is because as the services struggle to bring in fresh talent, those who are already in uniform are assigned the extra tasks that the new recruits would have picked up. The result is undermanned units that are overworked. Eventually, the overburdened troops decide they cannot do ever “more with less” and bolt for the exits. https://www.realcleardefense.com/articles/2022/10/08/todays_military_recruiting_crisis_is_tomorrows_retention_crisis_857968.html Quote
