@nugger @RegalBeagle @Bad_Banner @IAMAL_PHARIUS @TrevorGoodchild Yeah, you're correct.
But this sector in particular the training is complicated as comes with extras not many are aware of.
You can't effectively train people until you bring them in, many are offered apprenticeship or stages in smaller companies, to familiarize with the basis of the machinery until eventually moving up the ladder into bigger companies with major responsabilities, for which they'll have to be deeply screened and vetted.
Smaller companies and subcontractors are the industry's gatekeepers.
Anyway, even to produce simple 155mm artillery shells (as finished product) you have to be vetted from the big eye, this means that factories are often understaffed (euphemism).
Don't get me started on tank's armor specifics or system's electronics, those who produce export-able products (or licensed) and those who produce the full system are on a different plan.
Obviously the latter pays better, if you can get in.
But still, is harder to move or swap entire productions with short notice, so you're, as a company, stuck with your base configuration until your laborers are allowed into the next security level to begin working on the new project, or forced to headhunt for already vetted personnel.
This process, alone, lasts months.

@InvictusManeo @Bad_Banner @IAMAL_PHARIUS @nugger @TrevorGoodchild Clearance is a whole can of worms by itself. Software side, most of the work can be done outside a SCIF, but the big contractors need to justify their existing SCIF space and aren't looking to modernize. It's the CRE crisis that's about to blow up, but in DoD contracting. This functionally limits highside software development talent to only prior military. One can get cleared another way, but 80% I saw was like this.
@Bad_Banner @Kagekokoro @disclosetv The bugpods don't seems so bad when you've only got a couple months to live before you stroke out from the clot shots while cranking it to interracial cuck porn.

@deprecated_ii I heard a guy had his engine seize up after water got into a tail light and shorted one of the busses out. Because of course the ECU needs to be linked to the tail light.

@InvictusManeo @RegalBeagle @Bad_Banner @IAMAL_PHARIUS @TrevorGoodchild THAT'S LIKE THE "DEMOGRAPHIC GRINDER" THEORY ABOUT CITIES (RURAL PEOPLE MOVE TO CITIES AND NEVER START FAMILIES OR HAVE ONE TO TWO CHILDREN)
BUT FOR TALENT
MODERN U.S IS A TALENT GRINDER
SPECIALISTS ARE PULLED INTO THE U.S LABOR MARKET BUT DO NOT TRAIN THEIR YOUNG REPLACEMENT ONCE THERE

@nugger @Bad_Banner @IAMAL_PHARIUS @InvictusManeo @TrevorGoodchild Interesting theory. "Teaching is the greatest act of optimism" -some dead guy, probably.
I volunteer with my local community and teach computer skills, but as years go on, there's less and less people wanting to learn. It's not worth your time trying to teach those that don't want to learn.
@leespringfield1903 @Bad_Banner @casuist @IAMAL_PHARIUS @InvictusManeo @TrevorGoodchild We're past voting our way out of this mess. I don't trust Elon, either. He promises so much and delivers so little.
@deprecated_ii That's just what they're saying. It's designed the way it is because you can't fix it yourself when it breaks. You don't own your car, you have a subscription to transportation.
@leespringfield1903 @Bad_Banner @casuist @IAMAL_PHARIUS @InvictusManeo @TrevorGoodchild God saves those who save themselves. Start learning to farm because shit's gonna get Venezuelan up in here.
@professionalbigot69 Our PPs remain dry =[
@Terry One could argue Dallas is just as far gone as Austin and that neither are really TX anymore. Thanks, Californians.
@professionalbigot69 Do you get any good action on dating apps? I keep getting fats.

@RegalBeagle @InvictusManeo @Bad_Banner @IAMAL_PHARIUS @TrevorGoodchild I hear you. I watch with no satisfaction as the DEI dynamic plays out in the Gulf, the Red Sea, across occupied Palestine and the Levant, also among the NATO sponsors of country 404, the "country" formerly known as Ukraine, and in the South China Sea. Nature always wins, I guess.
@InvictusManeo @Bad_Banner @IAMAL_PHARIUS @TrevorGoodchild The more useless diversity hires in the GAE, the better. I want the boog to be on easy difficulty; I'm getting too old for this shit.
@coolboymew I'm just glad I don't have to cobble together an Arch box to game in Linux anymore.

to now
>I don't even look at ProtonDB anymore, things just work now pretty much all the time
Within the span of like 6-7 years

@InvictusManeo @Bad_Banner @IAMAL_PHARIUS @TrevorGoodchild All good points, but I think the lack of qualified talent being trained in schools is the most critical part. Ukraine punches above its weight by adapting technology to make up for their lack of resources. I don't think US has the human capital of caliber to do the same. Competent DoD contractors were effectively purged once the clot shot mandates came down back in 2021. Anyone who could get out/retire did.
