Serious guys took up the "cut" the budget of the US Navy

Bartlett Maritime Co, Ohio took over the problem. And she began by appointing retired Rear Admiral Charles Brown as executive vice president of strategic communications. In addition, "heavy artillery" represented by Goldman Sachs and the law firm Squire Patton Boggs are involved in lobbying the interests of the firm. This firm is currently the third largest lobbying firm in the US, after Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld and Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck. The Lobbying Department, long run by Thomas Hale Boggs Jr., is currently run by Edward Newberry and Robert Capla. This law firm was founded in Ohio at the end of the XNUMXth century, but still maintains strong ties with the political and industrial elites of the state.

Bartlett, founded in 2019, plans to focus repair of submarines and components at two new facilities in northeast Ohio and buy a dedicated foundry to reduce submarine repair times by an average of one hundred days, which will relieve maintenance centers in Pugent Sound and Portsmouth. In the original proposal, announced in March 2022, Bartlett proposed building a shipyard in Lorain, Ohio on Lake Erie for a major overhaul. Bartlett's plan has the support of members of the Ohio congressional delegation, but Washington has not yet commented on this statement.

Obstacles to the Lorain facility will include moving submarines through the St. Lawrence Seaway locks and obtaining permission from Canadian national and provincial governments to pass through their portion of the Great Lakes. As a solution to the problem, the option of building a shipyard at the Goose Creek Naval Base, South Carolina is proposed.

Considering the kind of guys who work at Squire Patton Boggs, and given the desire of Goldman Sachs to "make extra money" from the "swelling" military budget, anything is possible. The only question is how General Dynamics Electric Boat and Huntington-Ingalls Industries will react to this. Will they like that someone wants to cut a piece of their pie.

The US budget has always been cut only by serious guys

[huntsman650]

And we have weeds in our garden, and we poke a finger at someone else's.

Capitalism, however, is here and there, if there is a difference, then in the number of sweets that they try to share or munch into one.

[TermNachTer]

So, it is. Yes, only other, no less serious guys, decided to redistribute the flows a little))) Goldman sach - the guys are nowhere more serious)))

[Asad]

What do we care about financial flows in the Pentagon? The more they steal, the better. And about our lovers of kickbacks they write little and reluctantly.

[Egoza]

Yes, let them squabble among themselves. Although the "good grandfather" will still draw candy wrappers for them, so that there is enough for everyone.

[rocket757]

Big "sharks" can fight, of course, but most likely, they will divide and steal someone smaller.

[Asad]

Then why does a wrapper cost 98 full rubles?

[TermNachTer]

Have you heard such a thing as purchasing power parity?))) How much can you buy for 100 colored wrappers and one gray-green?))

Corruption in the United States is put on a grand scale and legalized by the intricate definition of lobbying. Being in the service, generals and admirals notably lobby for the purchase of products of a particular military-industrial complex company (from which they feed), and after leaving for a well-deserved rest, they occupy leadership positions in these companies. Beauty.

[rocket757]

Let's assume that there used to be some rules, restrictions, which, nevertheless, all the real players of this "performance" observed ... judging by the statements of experts in local affairs, even this system of restrictions, now, is broken and molded in such a way, who is on what much.

[TermNachTer]

They have always been like this everywhere. But, corruption exists only in Russia and yet, totalitarianism)))

[rocket757]

Come on... it’s worth blaming something in the direction of the minke whales, scolding them, so they will immediately find corruption, a threat to democracy, and much more.

There is always a serious fuss around big grandmas.
Rules, laws, decency .... no, they have not heard.

[tralflot1832]

I wonder how Kostin, the "privatizer" of all Rus', will cope with the role of Richard Gere in the film "Pretty Woman"?

Putin and the government originally "joked" by transferring the shares of USC VTB to management for five years!

[phrases]

Grandpa Joe scatters billions like a sower. It is a big sin not to pick them up, which is what the "serious guys" do.

[egorMTG]

- Ai-yay-yay .... What a pity! What a pity! Shouldn't we send our effective managers there to restore the necessary order...?!

[TermNachTer]

Here is an article about just that. When the state defense order is being fulfilled, abuses are simply inevitable, because it is simply not realistic to control every ruble (dollar). Therefore, before scolding Russia, look at the dance.

[Aleksandr58]

Complete nonsense with Kostin! Finance should be a tool for real production, and not a manager and a bloodsucker.
