In the sixties there were rumors going around about old WW2 internment camps (”relocation centers”) being readied for thousands of hippies.

Well, it was a nice dream anyways. :)

A guest claims that in Iraq KBR operates dining services for which they receive $27.00 per individual meal served, AND the U.S. government provides the food.

It reflects the costs of doing business in a war zone. This is why KBR is doing it. They are the best at it and yes, they do get paid.

But just think about cooks who make well over 200K a year, and that is less than a truck driver.

27 dollars is reasonable when you consider just how much money it takes to do what they do, and most importantly where they do it.

HAHAHA...ROFL...ROFLOL.... You guys are funny! A cook who makes over $200,000 per year? $27 per meal! A truck driver who makes more.... You guys tickled my funny bone.

I guess I made my million a few years ago..[snicker,snicker]

Welcome to FR. Now, just how do you pronounce “yefragetuwrabrumuy”, and will I have my mouth washed out with soap for repeating it?

“The contract, which is effective immediately, provides for establishing temporary detention and processing capabilities to augment existing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Detention and Removal Operations (DRO) Program facilities in the event of an emergency influx of immigrants into the U.S., or to support the rapid development of new programs.

Given that we know this has been actually said by someone who is either capable of execution of contingencies, is part of a group capable of execution of contingencies or knows the plans of those capable of execution of contingencies, what then is your own thoughts about "to support the rapid development of new programs"?

Before you answer the question, consider this. A government, especially a country as large and powerful as this one, is the prime repository of power and wealth. Those who climb the ladder of politics to the top levels have access to this repository.

Consider that those who are sociopaths, or are unprincipled, or otherwise lacking in a personal concern for the good of all will also desire to be in those lofty positions, will do what other, more principled individuals, will not do to reach those positions, therefore beating out those more principled people, over a period of time will dominate the decision making functions of government.

Consider that we have been in existence 224 years.

Now, with these maxims of principle regarding the decisions and action of human beings and their natural attractions to wealth and power, tell us your interpretations of that phrase.

I think I'd like a response to my question in post #85, if you're capable of it.

Rapid deployment? How rapid to you want?

'One if by land, two if by sea . . . ,'

. . . and three if by air.'

(Just kidding, though I don't know what these are being stored for. Prolly over-production.)

[Alamo-Girl]

LOLOL! Of course!

[Eastbound]

I mis-read that. I thought it said 'rapid deployment.' I suppose with a little stretch, it could qualify under 'rapid development,' huh?
