Ops Brief 029: Daily Drop - 16 April 2025 (Alabama: Space Force's Sophie's Choice)
In today’s cerebral Daily Ops Brief, Peaches breaks down the Defense Department’s latest dumpster fire: whether to park Space Command’s shiny new paradigm shift in Colorado or Alabama. Also, some genius of the Military Industrial Complex just texted the entire Internet our plans for Houthi rebels. Throw in DEI purges, child care collapse, and a disgraced AFSOC leader, and you've got a government that’s firing on no cylinders.
We cover real estate speculation, government hiring freezes that move slower than molasses in formation, and why Canada’s aircraft shopping spree might be a Costco mistake.
🔥 Key Takeaways:
- Colorado is bougie, but Huntsville comes with humidity.
- Space Command is conducting 100% of operations from a basement.
- NSA definitely needs better op-sec on Signal.
- Alabama: because civilians LOVE relocating.
- 13 computer nerds are about to rage-quit the Pentagon.
- AFSOC gets messy (again).
- If you think child care isn’t a readiness issue, think again.
