Personal: Honest update on the Philippines and Indonesia

I’ve been trying to work on my RAND and SeaLight document, but I can’t seem to get into it. I’m still not feeling well, either. For some reason, I can’t format my document on my iPhone the way that I would like, and I still can’t use my iPad for it. This morning, my iPad fell out of its mount and landed on my face. No worries, my ego was hurt more than my nose. To be honest, I’ve about lost all interest in it. If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? I feel like that tree. The tree makes a sound, but no one is around to hear it fall. Who has time to worry about details, anyway? I barely do anymore, and I’m unemployed. I’m going to stop now before I have to get the violin out.

The findings underscore the urgent need for public-private partnerships, increased investment in manufacturing capacity, and reduced reliance on foreign components.

Good luck with that! The U.S. “defense industrial base” is beholden to profits!

Weekends annoy me. I don’t have a lot of time for myself. I have to sneak it in when I should be sleeping. Anyway, I was trying to do some research when I got sidetracked while listening to my podcasts. It turned out pretty well since it forced me to look up Mao’s “Oppose Stereotyped Party Writing”. I don’t have a lot of confidence in my ability to simplify my writing, though. I’ve attempted to use AI to summarize it, but it still disappoints me. It removes too much information. *sigh*
