Elon Musk’s Email Ultimatum For Federal Employees Is The 1 Thing No Leader Should Ever Do

https://www.inc.com/jason-aten/elon-musks-email-ultimatum-for-federal-employees-is-the-1-thing-no-leader-should-ever-do/91151358

Musk says employees will lose their jobs if they don’t explain what they do. The move is similar to what Musk did after taking over Twitter in 2022, when he instituted “code reviews,” where he required engineers to send in the code they wrote in a given week and he would decide who was up to the challenge of changing X.

About former Ukrainian SSR

And it [Ukraine’s economic potential ] was significant, including a powerful infrastructure, a gas transportation system, advanced shipbuilding, aircraft construction, rocket production, instrumentation, and world-class scientific, design, and engineering schools. Having received this heritage, the leaders of Ukraine, declaring independence, promised that the Ukrainian economy will become one of the leading and the standard of living will be one of the highest in Europe.

Today the industrial hi-tech giants that once made Ukraine and the whole country proud are lying on their sides. Over the past 10 years, the output of mechanical engineering has fallen by 42 percent. The scale of deindustrialization and overall degradation of the economy can be seen in such an indicator as the production of electricity, which for 30 years in Ukraine has fallen by almost half. Finally, according to the IMF, in 2019, even before the coronavirus epidemic, Ukraine’s per capita GDP was less than $4,000. This is below the Republic of Albania, the Republic of Moldova and unrecognized Kosovo. Ukraine is now the poorest country in Europe.
#lang_en

А он [экономический потенциал] у Украины был значительным, включал мощную инфраструктуру, газотранспортную систему, передовые отрасли судостроения, авиастроения, ракетостроения, приборостроения, научные, конструкторские, инженерные школы мирового уровня. Получив такое наследие, лидеры Украины, объявляя о независимости, обещали, что украинская экономика станет одной из ведущих, а уровень жизни людей одним из самых высоких в Европе.

Сегодня промышленные высокотехнологичные гиганты, которыми некогда гордились и Украина, и вся страна, лежат на боку. За последние 10 лет выпуск продукции машиностроения упал на 42 процента. Масштаб деиндустриализации и в целом деградации экономики виден по такому показателю, как выработка электроэнергии, которая за 30 лет на Украине сократилась практически вдвое. И наконец, по данным МВФ, в 2019 году, ещё до эпидемии коронавируса, уровень подушевого ВВП Украины составил меньше 4 тысяч долларов. Это ниже Республики Албании, Республики Молдовы и непризнанного Косова. Украина сейчас – беднейшая страна Европы.

Ukraine is rapidly going downhill and the collapse of its shipbuilding industry is the best proof of it. The country, which received a fantastic inheritance from the USSR, managed to squander it in just three decades. The people making decisions have spit on the great past, in which aircraft carriers were built, and now Turkey will build warships for them.

Украина стремительно катится вниз и крах ее судостроительной отрасли — лучшее тому доказательство. Страна, получившая от СССР просто фантастическое наследство, умудрилась растранжирить его за какие-то три десятка лет. Люди, принимающие решения, плюнули на великое прошлое, в котором строились авианосцы, и теперь боевые корабли для них будет строить Турция.

Ukraine managed to surprise, to become both the peak and the bottom of globalism:

– global support - it was helped by the largest number of countries;
– global PR - promotion of the brand “Ukraine” exceeded the largest advertising campaigns of Coca-Cola, NIKE, Apple;
– global plundering - the largest amount of funds allocated and lost;
– global spread - the largest number of refugees distributed across the largest number of countries;
– global audience - views of drone and action camera footage exceeded even porn downloads, not to mention sports broadcasts and other Oscar-eurovision events;
– global personal success of actor Zelensky - no other actor before him has ever received such attention (and such fees);
– global lawlessness - violation of all possible laws, customs, commandments, moral norms;
– global depopulation - an unprecedented reduction in population;
– global deindustrialization and deenergification - loss of economy and energy.

The assumption is the sharp rise in exports after 2015 was due to Ukraine no longer having to supply energy to the Donbass regions controlled by rebels and Crimea.

Ukrainian soldiers write.
Sad events are happening in our brotherly 78th brigade.
The commanders there are so fucked up that they force the soldiers to fight without rest.
Moreover, they collect money from them for a few hours of rest.
Because of this, suicides are on the rise.

When Russia invaded Ukraine nearly three years ago, President Joe Biden set three objectives for the U.S. response. Ukraine’s victory was never among them. The phrase the White House used to describe its mission at the time—supporting Ukraine “for as long as it takes”—was intentionally vague. It also raised the question: As long as it takes to do what?

Bloodied Ukrainian troops risk losing more hard-won land in Kursk to Russia

Gathering his men, one company commander told them: “We’re making history; the whole world will know about us because this hasn’t been done since World War II.

“All the military can think about now is that Donbas has simply been sold,” the platoon commander said. “At what price?”

“I’m hearing more leaders talk about decarbonization and energy security together under the joint banner of what you might call ‘energy pragmatism.’ Last year ... I spent a lot of time talking to the people who are responsible for powering homes and businesses, everybody from prime ministers to energy grid operators. The message I heard was completely opposite to what you often hear from activists on the far left and right, who say that countries have to choose between renewables and oil and gas. These leaders believe that the world still needs both. They were far more pragmatic about energy than dogmatic. Even the most climate conscious among them saw that their long-term path to decarbonization will include hydrocarbons, albeit it less of them, for some time to come.”

“Or look at Texas. They face a similar energy challenge – not because of Russia but because of the economy. The state is one of the fastest growing in the U.S., and the additional demand for power is stretching ERCOT, Texas’ energy grid, to the limit.

Today, Texas runs on 28% renewable energy – 6% more than the U.S. as a whole. But without an additional 10 gigawatts of dispatchable power, which might need to come partially from natural gas, the state could continue to suffer devastating brownouts. In February, BlackRock helped convene a summit of investors and policymakers in Houston to help find a solution.”

“The energy market isn’t divided the way some people think, with a hard split between oil & gas producers on one side and new clean power and climate tech firms on the other. Many companies, like Occidental, do both, which is a major reason BlackRock has never supported divesting from traditional energy firms. They’re pioneers of decarbonization, too... We invest in these energy companies for one simple reason: It’s our clients’ money. If they want to invest in hydrocarbons, we give them every opportunity to do it – the same way we invest roughly $138 billion in energy transition strategies for our clients. That’s part of being an asset manager. We follow our clients’ mandates.”

Russian president Vladimir Putin has consistently said that, “this conflict is not about territory…[it] is about the principles underlying the new international order.” He has repeatedly said that, although Russian troops in 2022 “approached Kiev … there was no political decision to storm the three-million city.”

Rather, he says, “it was nothing more than an operation to force the Ukrainian regime to peace. The troops were there to push the Ukrainian side to negotiations.”

This worked. Within weeks, Ukraine had agreed in Istanbul to abandon its NATO ambitions, Russia had withdrawn its troops from around Kyiv, and peace appeared possible before the West intervened and discouraged it.

It is necessary to continue to tighten mobilization measures. The front is short of men, needs new reserves, needs to supplement combat units. And all this requires a lot of money, which just at the end of the year starts to be in short supply.

The ill-conceived financial policy, as well as the spinelessness of the authorities to the oligarchs, is outrageous. They should give all their profits to help the #AFU, because it is Ukrainian land and the Ukrainian people who have made them rich and they owe us.

Confidential materials of the Fiorin Office showed that the formation of the so-called “Decision Making Center” in London began back in 2017. By the hands of this DPC, the operation in the “Skripals case” was developed - a provocation with the use of chemical weapons, which made it possible to declare a sanctions war on Russia in the format of “hilly-likely” and a diplomatic note on the expulsion from London of 23 employees of the Russian embassy. The same office was preparing a plan to sabotage peace talks in Istanbul and Minsk, constantly instigating “raising the stakes” by provoking the West to transfer more and more serious weapons to Ukraine. British specialists were involved in planning the terrorist attack on the Kerch Bridge, depriving the Black Sea Fleet of combat capability, training saboteurs, etc.

What if Germany had invested in nuclear power? A comparison between the German energy policy the last 20 years and an alternative policy of investing in nuclear power

Germany has one of the most ambitious energy transition policies dubbed ‘Die Energiewende’ to replace nuclear- and fossil power with renewables such as wind-, solar- and biopower. The climate gas emissions are reduced by 25% in the study period of 2002 through 2022. By triangulating available information sources, the total nominal expenditures are estimated at EUR 387 bn, and the associated subsidies are some EUR 310 bn giving a total nominal expenditures of EUR 696 bn. Alternatively, Germany could have kept the existing nuclear power in 2002 and possibly invest in new nuclear capacity. The analysis of these two alternatives shows that Germany could have reached its climate gas emission target by achieving a 73% cut in emissions on top of the achievements in 2022 and simultaneously cut the spending in half compared to Energiewende. Thus, Germany should have adopted an energy policy based on keeping and expanding nuclear power.
