My company used to be really paranoid about company secrets and didn't want anyone bringing in a camera (long before everyone carried a phone with a camera). One of my coworkers used to comment that he thought that they should we should share all of our secrets with our competitors so they would be 10 years behind like we were.

I'm amazed at the lack of security a lot of places - I know that secure places (the ones where a security clearance is required) generally ban phones, but so many other places never connect the dots. If you look at video coverage of the election counting operations, women have bags sitting on desks; you have to assume men could carry stuff in, too. With that, all kinds of supposedly sensitive information could go in and out without a trace. That's just an indicator of a poorly run process.

When I worked for Babcock and Wilcox, we had a subsidiary called Bailey Meter. B&W built the nuclear steam system components and Bailey built the instrumentation used in B&W plants. Bailey didn't have a great reputation; so when a couple of companies were looking to buy B&W, the joke was so and so agreed to double their bid if they didn't have to take Bailey Meter, too.

Im sure there are a lot of people in Nashville who are freaked out and would like to know the president is thinking of them/cares.

if your response is screaming “TDS BUTTHURT AHHHH!!!” to the silence of the President on the bombing of an American city, then maybe you should log off your devices and read a book or something. You’re in too deep.

Company secrets are really a joke. We used to think we had a technological advantage on our competitors, but we didn't. They were better at some things than were and we were better than them in some things. Now all we have left is competing against the Chinese and sucking at it.

He is no different than you coming in bitching about what Trump did/didn’t say over some rando act of violence.

Let me play looney land what if guy for a second?

What if he was set up and shot in the RV by someone who left much earlier before a recording was set to play and then detonate.

In an explosion like this a shell casing would be too mangled to be possibly found nor would the bullet hole be noticeable due to the body being blown up.

This would explain the gun shots.

Again.....I am throwing out looney land ideas but nothing explains the gun shot yet.

Gun shots came from RV PA system I believe. Meant to awaken people and alarm them to leave the area.

Apparently in your mind his comments or lack there of matter. I really don’t care that he hadn’t said anything on the scale of human tragedy this is minor. But it’s cute watching you try and sell the scared feelings of the good people of Nashville 😂

I considered this early on, but I don't believe so. If there were then there should be video of said shooter getting out of the van. Imo this was a suicide/5g conspiratis. I dont think there's too much to read into this one

Yes I believe they do. Several lost businesses and added human suffering matter after a major ****ing city was bombed.

What’s not cute to me is how y’all will twist yourself in knots to argue with a negative trump/republican point-when the criticism here was *checks notes*
THE BOMBING OF AN AMERICAN CITY

GTFO

Go ahead with your outrage then. I’d guess you are gonna find something to bitch about on Trump anyway. You’re gonna need a new boogie man in around 3 weeks.

And GTFO yourself while you’re working yourself up here Cletus 😘
