Catch-22 was predicting the Musks and Palmer Luckeys of this world before they were even born

$Milo vetoed the idea brusquely. “It’s a matter of principle,” he explained firmly. “The government has no business in business, and I would be the last person in the world to ever try to involve the government in a business of mine. But the business of government is business,” he remembered alertly, and continued with elation. “Calvin Coolidge said that, and Calvin Coolidge was a President, so it must be true. And the government does have the responsibility of buying all the Egyptian cotton I’ve got that no one else wants so that I can make a profit, doesn’t it?” Milo’s face clouded almost as abruptly, and his spirits descended into a state of sad anxiety. “But how will I get the government to do it?” “Bribe it,” Yossarian said. “Bribe it!” Milo was outraged and almost lost his balance and broke his neck again. “Shame on you!” he scolded severely, breathing virtuous fire down and upward into his rusty mustache through his billowing nostrils and prim lips. “Bribery is against the law, and you know it. But it’s not against the law to make a profit, is it? So it can’t be against the law for me to bribe someone in order to make a fair profit, can it? No, of course not!” He fell to brooding again, with a meek, almost pitiable distress. “But how will I know who to bribe?” “Oh, don’t you worry about that,” Yossarian comforted him with a toneless snicker as the engines of the jeeps and ambulance fractured the drowsy silence and the vehicles in the rear began driving away backward. “You make the bribe big enough and they’ll find you. Just make sure you do everything right out in the open. Let everyone know exactly what you want and how much you’re willing to pay for it. The first time you act guilty or ashamed, you might get into trouble.”$

“I wish you’d come with me,” Milo remarked. “I won’t feel safe
among people who take bribes. They’re no better than a bunch of
crooks.”
“You’ll be all right,” Yossarian assured him with confidence. “If
you run into trouble, just tell everybody that the security of the
country requires a strong domestic Egyptian-cotton speculating
industry.”
“It does,” Milo informed him solemnly. “A strong Egyptian-cotton
speculating industry means a much stronger America.”
“Of course it does. And if that doesn’t work, point out the great
number of American families that depend on it for income.”
“A great many American families do depend on it for income.”
“You see?” said Yossarian. “You’re much better at it than I am. You
almost make it sound true.”
“It is true,” Milo exclaimed with a strong trace of old hauteur.
“That’s what I mean. You do it with just the right amount of
conviction.”
“You’re sure you won’t come with me?”
Yossarian shook his head

'I never thought the culture warrior would conduct a silly culture war', sobs man from the culture war-supporting party who voted for the culture warrior

"I have never witnessed more inept management of the brave men and women who serve our country,” Senator Thom Tillis, Republican of North Carolina and a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, wrote in a social media post this week, calling on Mr. Trump to replace Mr. Hegseth.

“He is intimidated by competence and retreats to ginning up culture wars instead of soberly attending to the vital work of our national defense and the health and well-being of our fighting force,” Mr. Tillis said.

Mr. Tillis was among the senators who voted to confirm Mr. Hegseth for the role in early 2025, despite having voiced concerns about his nomination.

Peter Feaver wrote in 2016: "Trump (...) should stop boasting about how he will issue illegal orders to the military. The more he boasts, the stronger will be their resolve to honor the requirements of professional ethics and democratic civil-military relations." He was wrong

Denial is one of the two approaches the nation’s senior military leaders seem to have taken to cope with Donald Trump’s presidency. When they aren’t ignoring how abnormal things have become, they turn to the other approach, claiming that they have no responsibility for the actions the armed forces have been ordered to take because those orders were “policy” choices outside the scope of their duties. This is a cop-out, and it is putting our democracy at risk.

The Trump administration is committing acts that military officers should consider outrageous and unacceptable. The military has conducted extrajudicial executions of alleged drug dealers at sea and of a country’s head of state, along with several of his family members. The administration has kidnapped another head of state. And the president started a war without even consulting Congress, much less obtaining congressional authorization. In an indication of what may be still to come, the president has put National Guard troops on the streets of Democratic-governed cities without local leaders’ request or consent.

Increasingly convinced that some AI-generated submissions we at @sjms.bsky.social receive are basically hoax projects trying to check how many journals end up publishing this crap. If you ever think about doing this: don't! Just as every other academic journal, we're busy enough already
