Boeing’s Starliner is now scrap—and stuck at the ISS. Secret Service comes within a fraction of an inch and a fraction of a second of plunging the United States into chaos. Cloudstrike cripples much of the world. We can’t build a dock for Gaza.
The United States, and its agencies, old line companies like Boeing, and new companies like Cloudstrike, used to be the gold standard in ideas, competence, and making lives better. Now? Not so much. And look who we have for a choice for president.
Are we now paying the price for our crappy education system?
The link attempts one explanation. Crunchy systems compared to soggy systems. Crunchy works. Soggy doesn’t. Crunchy has aspects of individual responsibility. Nobody is responsible in a soggy stem. Everything is systematic—soggy institutional.
