I know what lean manufacturing is, I have worked at such facilities. The NHK facility in Frankfort makes all the seats for the Subaru plant in Lafayette; the seats are built mere hours before they are installed in a vehicle so they effectively have no inventory. If the Subaru plants builds cars on a Saturday, NHK also works on a Saturday. When the Subaru plant has it's two week summer shutdown NHK is shutdown as well. I was just curious as to exactly how lean manufacturing has been so profitable for Gonzo.

Mass shootings on the radar again.

Beto O'Rourke: 'Hell Yes, We're Going To Take Your AR-15': https://reason.com/2019/09/12/beto-orourke-hell-yes-were-going-to-take-your-ar-15/ But O'Rourke also promised that he would make the process an inclusive one, saying that he would "bring everyone in America into the conversation: Republicans, Democrats, gun-owners, and non-gun-owners alike." Other candidates on the stage Thursday night were less interested in what their opponents—or the Constitution—might have to say. Moments before O'Rourke's comments, former Vice President Joe Biden had challenged Sen. Kamala Harris (D–Calif.) about the unconstitutionality of her promise to issue an executive order that would limit access to guns during her first 100 days in office. In response, the former prosecutor literally laughed. Biden said a president has "no constitutional authority" to ban guns via executive order—a rare moment in which one of the candidates on stage admitted there are limitations to presidential power. "Some things you can [do with executive orders]; many things you can't," said Biden. "I would just say, 'Hey, Joe, instead of saying "No we can't," let's say "Yes, we can,"'" retorted Harris, borrowing President Barack Obama's famous campaign line. Then she cackled hysterically while Biden responded "let's be constitutional." .... O'Rourke's idea of forcing Americans to sell their guns to the government has a similar gaping hole in it. What about the people who don't want to sell? As Jon Stokes, one of the founders of Ars Technica and one of the people behind opensourcedefense.org, a post-culture war gun rights collective, recently wrote at Reason, gun buyback programs are mostly futile: Promising to smash the Second Amendment and laughing at the right of Americans to protect their homes and loved ones, while being unable to fully think through the implications of gun confiscation plans? That's an interesting strategy for turning red states blue. Good luck with that plan Mr. O'Rourke. -

The Progressive Feeding Frenzy: https://reason.com/2019/09/12/the-progressive-feeding-frenzy/ And they must not be allowed to succeed with their agenda. If they do I suggest Americans who values personal freedom, responsibility, sovereignty, and the future of their children/grandchildren leave the country for greener pastures because the USA will no longer be the the land of opportunity. It will simply, and horribly, become another Venezuela.

https://www.jconline.com/story/news/2019/09/11/wind-energy-company-ready-make-case-turbines-reluctant-clinton-co/2274328001/ The cowardly Clinton County commissioners have been hiding behind a moratorium they placed over 2 years ago regarding this issue, obviously because they thought E.ON would quietly go away. I feel the NIMBY's as usual are crying the loudest while ignoring the fact of private property rights. IMHO those setbacks, almost a 1/4 mile for houses and 4 miles (!) for Frankfort are perfectly reasonable.

I had never heard of White Claw until this article. I remember a millennial age in-law drinking Truly at a recent family get together. -

Assuming Mr. Trump wins in 2020 who here would put this past him to at least try?
