Fascists don’t care about the quality of data, but the quality of emotions they can manipulate.
They’ll scream rigged if they lose and we all know it.
They've already decided that it's impossible for Biden to win. Therefore if he does, that means the election was "stolen". Tucker Carlson a month ago in his video about the state of the Union address, skip to 11:30: https://youtu.be/f72Tc-iXc4A
I hope Trump runs the RNC just like one of his businesses.
Offload it 99% to someone else but jump on periodically with really stupid demands?
That's definitely how his presidency ran.
I was more talking about the bankruptcies, but "his people" don't seem particularly adept either.
Boeing has entered the chat...
Politics aside, it seems like there's a wide spread mentality that tells these leaders that all they have to do is snap their fingers and the workers can magically make their desires appear.

Because there are tons of people who will do their damnedest to promise they can make it happen for the right price. In the context of the post's topic, I'd be surprised if even a third of Trump's staff actually like him or believe in whatever their cause is. It's filled with soulless opportunists. The subject of this article speaks for itself, bunch of incompetent opportunists climbed positions in their cult and fired tons of key personnel that negatively impacted their operations. Same thing happens in the corporate world. Despite their promises or facade, they fail to deliver more often than not.
There's a ton of people who will say that they can do it for the right price.
The Naked Emperor can pay a hundred brown nosers to tell him how good he looks; he's still naked. I'm sure that the Boeing engineers who built the terrible planes knew that it wasn't the best design; but they okayed the plans because that's what the bosses wanted.

Having worked in corporate for more than a decade now, I'm pretty sure anyone who said that the planes were shitty design throughout the design and review process were asked to explain themselves ad nauseam while everyone who was admiring the emperor's new clothes was free to leave the offices early for cocktail hour.
That's the way these things actually work: group think. Someone coming in saying "none of this appears to make sense" has to be a one-in-a-billion level genius because they are lining up for the firing squad. (And what genius would do that?) When the group has already written up the proposal and the customer has already signed off on it, it will not be changed no matter how insane or impossible it is.
And then QA is also a laugh as a gate. Eventually through a variety of tactics, every single QA resource that tries to actually assure quality will be either excised from the company, or be turned into a yes-man / rubber stamp by corporate movements.
That's almost exactly John Barnett's story.
Civil service.
When one of our people retires, they get a one page, mimeographed form instead of an exit interview. They are supposed to write down what their 25 years of experience on the job has taught them, and what lessons they would like to pass on to the upcoming leadership.
The loss of talent may be particularly notable on the RNC’s data team – increasingly important in presidential elections – which is being relocated out of RNC headquarters in Washington and to the Trump campaign’s headquarters in Palm Beach, Florida.
I mean, that's sheer jenius.
How's that for a loyalty test
The joint fundraising agreement has been a priority for weeks. By doing joint fundraising, Trump and the RNC can accept donations as large as $814,600. During the Republican primary, Trump had been limited to taking checks with a maximum amount of $6,600 through his campaign.
Cripes. The Orange Cheat-o
It's ok the real funding comes from Super PACs who don't have the limits a campaign has. Nobody actually follows the 6600 rule in practice thanks to the Super PAC loophole.
No. Stop. Don't.
Rip each other apart 🥰
