GOP insanity containment thread 3: more human than strom thurman

I’ll never understand companies that continue to render services like this, and leave a receivable of nearly $1M, when common sense will tell you they can’t/won’t pay. Just had a situation come up today at work where a company with some questionable past practices and financial situation wanted us to render services, and my response to the team was sure, if we get paid up-front. I guess $800K is a rounding error for DHL.

I actually thought that Trump was hanging with the Boebert person. Who’s the one that MTG is too racist for MAGA?

My formal, VERY large company did both an SAP implementation and promoted a finance guy to CEO who’s life motto was “net 90”.

Anyhoo, we bought a lot of pH and oxygen probes from a particular vendor. Not sure how much was SAP (think mostly) but got in arrears over $1M. Their staff was instructed to not fill any orders, even if our people were using procards. One colleague got told he couldn’t buy a probe with cash.

I left, but yeah it was a complete mess.

Of course My Pillow isn’t paying cause they don’t have the money.

Steve Jobs was pretty much of an asshole but there are some great clips of him on management just eviscerating Bain/McKinsey types.

Found out who uses DHL.

Unfortunately, European stationary stores that sell to the US do. Their notifications are pure fiction and then your package shows up, last notification indicating it was 9 states away doing the other direction…

My impression has always been “stuff coming from Europe” so it fits.

I worked for a (profitable!) company that stretched payables so much BOTH of our ISPs got turned off on the same day. I flipped out at the CFO - pay for the internet, man. Kinda necessary.

More evidence he is undercover and bringing Maga down from the inside.

note: I think he’s probably just an inept power hungry sleazeball who will do or say anything to advance his own interests, but I think there’s like a 5-10% chance he’s actually on our side.

You’re about an order of magnitude off I’ll give you 0.5 to 1.0%. Honestly, even that seems high.

Instead of persuading Americans to support their ideas, leaders of the post-liberal right are covertly positioning themselves within MAGA to be the heirs of Trump’s political base when he’s off the scene. They seek to transform the GOP into a pro-theocracy party willing to ignore the Constitution and democratic norms.

:harold:

This is just getting surreal at this point.
