Nobody Cares: PRS

[Bartholomew Gallacher]

Walmart is rolling back some of its DEI programs after right wing backlash.

The company said Monday it is ending racial equity training programs for staff and evaluating programs designed to increase supplier diversity. Walmart has worked to increase the number of suppliers that are at least 51% owned or managed by a woman, minority, veteran or someone who is LGBTQ in recent years.

The company is also reviewing all funding of Pride and other events and monitoring its online marketplace to remove sexual or transgender products marketed to children. Walmart also said it will not extend its Center for Racial Equity, a five-year, $100 million philanthropic commitment the company made in 2020 to address the root causes of gaps in outcomes of African Americans in education, health, criminal justice and other areas.

Walmart joines Harley-Davidson, John Deere, Tractor Supply Co. and other companies in that effort.

The US Navy has a shortage of aircraft carriers and ships in general. Too much crisis is going on everywhere, so that with the 1/3 rule the Navy comes to struggle to meet the demands.

On top of it the US Navy and all other military branches are struggling to meet recruiting quotas. The US Navy right now is in ship count the smallest its been since WWI, since the army lacks shipyards to build new ships and maintain old ones after many have been shut down in the 1970s.

The U.S. Navy's Aircraft Carrier Fleet Is 'Spread Too Thin'

The U.S. Navy faces significant challenges with its aircraft carrier fleet, despite having 11 nuclear-powered carriers. High costs, lengthy construction times, and a strained supply chain make building more carriers difficult.

The HMNZS Manawanui sank before Samoa in October, where it ploughed into a reef near the coast.

The ship was on autopilot during the accident and sank.The crew initially believed that the reason for not responding to direction changes awas the result of a thruster control failure. All 75 people were rescued. Members of the crew will be put on trial in 2025.
