1153 Trump's FURIOUS With JD Vance Over This... 

6 Mar 2026 JD Vance is in trouble with Donald Trump for his perceived disloyalty regarding the Iranian invasion. Vance, who previously criticised Trump’s foreign policy, is now trying to appease both Trump and the anti-interventionist wing of the Republican party, risking his political capital with both groups. This situation highlights the difficulty of navigating Trump’s political landscape, where authenticity and unwavering loyalty are highly valued. 

The conversation discusses the potential economic impact of the ongoing conflict, particularly the rising gas prices and their effect on affordability. The speaker suggests that Democrats might link the war to economic concerns, highlighting the potential for stagflation and the challenges faced by the Federal Reserve. The discussion also touches on the administration’s perceived lack of preparedness for the conflict’s economic consequences and the potential for a prolonged conflict to further destabilise the economy and the White House. 

Key points

Blame the Daleks : I've never got over the childhood scarring from knowing our sofa was just no match for their death rays! I consider myself fairly well-read, certainly with a vocabulary bigger than England's soccer manager Fabio Capello claims . But thanks to the Daleks I've never read much science fiction so, until today, I'd never heard the word 'grok.' Kim_Cameron   kim cameron   People didn't "get over it".

Check out his  www.IdentityBlog.com It seems that ' grok ' means " to understand so thoroughly that the observer becomes a part of the observed—to merge, blend, intermarry, lose identity in group experience.

CRM Problems

I dug out some depressing numbers from the CRM world: only 30% of companies with a CRM implementation feel that they've had a positive return on their investment. Mostly, the issues are not technical ones (it's not that hard to get the software installed and some superficial training completed). But there are some similarities with many IT projects: Lack of agreed goals and business case "Fail to plan, plan to fail" is the old saw that is daily proved true. I've seen clients invest in new hardware and software for the wrong reasons. (Last year, one IT department wanted to buy new software to secure training for the existing team in an attempt to secure their jobs and enhance their CVs...) Resist the temptation to launch into a new technology implementation without knowing realistically what you expect to get out of it. Difficulties with customization and integration with existing systems "No man is an island..." proves even more true of IT systems. V...

Not Orwell vs Huxley; but Orwell-Huxley

-
Orwell famously provided a disturbing view of the future in 1984 where the state controlled by Big Brother rules by fear through surveillance that removes all privacy, mind-numbing propaganda (' Newspeak ') and censorship to remove independent thought. It's usually seen as a diatribe against Stalinism . Huxley wrote Brave New World depicting a world where science and technology maximize pleasure, and all of life (including sex) is about 24/7 consumption. In his essay on Western society, Amusing Ourselves to Death , Neil Postman argued that Huxley, not Orwell, had been right. Certainly the casual observer of modern Western culture would find it easy to argue that hedonism rules much of our decision making. The utilitarianism that Huxley was writing to battle is still a dominant guide to many in public and private life who seek 'the greatest happiness of the greatest number' and - in the absence of generally accepted moral absolutes - consider that everything ...
