mai ka ʻO ka Nation
A Ua hoʻohuli hou ʻo Marilyn i pelekikena. ʻO kēia manawa, akā, ʻaʻole ia kiʻi hōkū kiʻi; ʻO ia ʻo Marillyn Hewson, ke poʻo o Lockheed Martin, ka luna pākela pale kiʻekiʻe o ka ʻāina a me ka mea hana lima nui loa o ka honua. I ka mahina i hala aku nei, ua ʻike nui ʻia ʻo Donald Trump lāua ʻo Hewson. Lākouhoʻopakele”Nā hana ma kahi kanu helikopter. Ua lawe lāua i ke ʻano pu ma kahi hui ma Lockheed ma Milwaukee. ʻO ka pelekikena vetoed ʻekolu mau bila e hoʻopiʻi ai i ka kūʻai ʻana o nā mea kūʻai a Lockheed (a me nā ʻoihana ʻē aʻe) i Saudi Arabia. ʻO ka manawa hou nei, ʻo ke kaikamahine a ka pelekikena ʻo Ivanka mākaʻikaʻi ʻia kahi wahi paʻa kahi paʻa me Hewson.
Ma Iulai Iulai 15, ka moʻomeheu koʻikoʻi White House Twitter Hoʻokumuʻia kahi wikiō o ka CEO Lockheed e hoʻolalelale ana i nā pono o ka ʻōnaehana pale ahi THAAD o ka hui, e ʻōlelo nei he "kākoʻo ʻo ia i nā limahana ʻAmelika 25,000." ʻAʻole ʻo Hewson wale nō e hoʻolaha nei i ka huahana o kāna hui, akā ua hoʻolāleʻa ʻo ia iā ia i kāna pitch — me ka mea kaua i ka kīʻaha— ma ka papa ʻaina White House. Ua haki koke ʻo Twitter me ka huhū ma luna o ka Hale Paʻi e kau ana i kahi hoʻolaha no kahi hui pilikino, me kekahi kapa ʻia he "unethical" a "ʻaʻole he lawoʻa ʻole."
ʻAʻole naʻe kekahi o kēia mea mai ke ʻano o nā mea maʻamau ʻoiai ua pau ka noho ʻana o ka mana ʻo Trump me ka mea ʻole e pale i ka hoʻopaʻapaʻa ʻana i nā hana hana i kū pololei i ke kākoʻo ʻana i nā mea hana i nā mea kaua. ʻOiai ʻoiai ua hoʻohiki ʻo Donald Trump ma ke ʻano he pelekikena, ʻo ia nō ka hooki kēlā mea kūʻai loilo i ka hana he hana nui. Ua pāpālua ʻia ʻo ia i kēia hōʻoia ʻana i ka wā o kāna pelekikena. ʻO nā mea hou aʻe, ʻoi loa ka manaʻo o ke kipi hai aku ka "emergency" lahui e koi ai i kekahi mahele o kahi kūkaʻa i Saudi Arabia i loaʻa iā ia i kekahi manawa koi e hana hou i nā miliona miliona. ʻOiai ua loaʻa kēia ʻōlelo pololei e kuhihewa, ʻo ka ʻāpana koʻikoʻi o kāna hoʻopaʻapaʻa - ʻoi aku ka nui o ke kālā e kahe ana i nā mea ʻikepili e hana i nā helu nui o nā hana hou - ʻo ia ka mea i manaʻo ʻia e ka poʻe he nui i loko o ka ʻoihana pale, ʻo Marillyn Hewson wale nō.
Hōʻike nā ʻoiaʻiʻo i kahi moʻolelo ʻē aʻe.
LOCHEED LOCKS DOWN TAXPAYER DOLLARS, WHILE CUTTINGING AMERICAN JOBS
No ka hoʻāʻo ʻana i ka hoʻopaʻapaʻa a Trump a me Hewson, nīnau mākou i kahi nīnau maʻalahi: I ka wā e loaʻa ai i nā mea ʻikena nā kālā ʻauhau hou aʻe, hana hou lākou i nā hana hou? No ka pane ʻana, ua loiloi mākou i nā hōʻike o nā mea pale hoʻomalu koʻikoʻi i hoʻopiʻi ʻia i kēlā me kēia makahiki me ka US Sec Secure and Exchange Commission (pauku).). I waena o nā mea ʻē aʻe, hōʻike kēia i ka nui o ka poʻe i hana e kekahi paʻa a me ka uku o kona luna alakaʻi. Ua hoʻohālikelike mākou i kēlā mau helu i nā dala tālima nui i loaʻa i kēlā me kēia hui e like me i ka Pūnaehana Pono Pūnaewele Federal, e ana i nā "kālā he kuleana," a i ʻole kālā, hāʻawi ʻoihana aupuni i ka ʻoihana.
Ua nānā mākou i nā mea ʻoi aku ka lima o Pentagon, ʻoi loa ka puʻuwai koa o ka ʻoihana koa, no nā makahiki 2012 a 2018. E like me ia, he makahiki koʻikoʻi ʻo 2012 no ka mea ua hana mua ʻia ka Budget Control Act (BCA) ma laila, ke hoʻokumu nei i nā pale i ka nui o ke kālā e hoʻopau ʻia ai e ka Kongres a me ka kauoha ʻana i nā ʻoki e pale ai i ka hoʻolilo ʻana ma o 2021. ʻAʻole paʻa e hoʻopaʻa ʻia kēlā mau pale ia. ʻO ka mea hope loa, ʻoiaʻiʻo, e loaʻa ka Pentagon i ka nui hou kālā i loko o ka makahiki BCA ma mua o ka mea ma mua, he manawa i ke kaua ʻana aʻe o nā kauaʻAmelika ma Afghanistan a me Iraq.
Ma 2012, hopohopo o kēlā mau pale i ka lilo ʻana o ka pale ʻana e hōʻoki i ko lākou mau laina i lalo, ua hele aku nā ʻelima ʻoi aku i luna ma kā ke aupuni politika, e hana ana i nā hana o ka wā e lilo ai i kā lākou mea kaua e koho. Ma hope o ke kau ʻana i ke Kumukānāwai Budget, ua hoʻokumu ʻia ka ʻAerospace Industries Association — ʻo ka hui alakaʻi kālepa o nā mea kaua.i aʻoʻia e ʻoi aku paha ma ka miliona miliona mau hana e pilikia ai inā he ʻokiʻoki ʻia ka hoʻokele Pentagon. I ka manaʻo ʻana i ke kiko, ua hoʻouna ʻia ʻo Lockheed e waiho pano i nā limahana 123,000 ma mua o ka hoʻokō ʻia ʻana o ka BCA a i nā lā wale nō ma mua o ke koho balota 2012. ʻAʻole maoli kēlā mau hana luhi, akā ʻike maoli ka makaʻu i nā hana i nalowale, a he mau nō ia.
E noʻonoʻo ʻo ia i hoʻokō ʻia, ʻoiai ʻo ka make ʻana o Pentagon kiekie ma 2018 ma mua o 2012 a me Lockheed i loaʻa he nui nui o kēlā infusion kālā. Mai 2012 a i 2018, ma waena o nā mea ʻaelike o ke aupuni, ʻo ia ʻoihana paha, ʻo ia ke koikoi nui o ka ʻauhau ʻauhau i kēlā me kēia makahiki, ʻo kēlā mau kālā e kiʻi ana i kā lākou zenith ma 2017, ʻoiai e pili ana i ka ʻoi aku $ 50.6 ieeeea? dala kālā. Ma ka hoʻohālikelikeʻana, ma 2012, i ka wā i hoʻoweliweli ai ʻo Lockheed i kāna mau limahana me ka nui Layoffs, kokoke i loa kahi paʻa $ 37 ieeeea?.
No laila he aha ka hana a Lockheed me kēlā mau kālā he ʻauhau ʻauhau kālā $ 13? He mea kūpono paha ke manaʻo e hoʻohana ia i kekahi o kēlā mau puʻupuʻu (e like me nā makahiki o mua iho) e hoʻokau i ka ulu ʻana i kāna hana. Inā hele ʻoe i kēlā hopena, eia nō ʻoe e lawehala nui iā ʻoe. Mai 2012 a 2018, holoʻokoʻa ka hana ma Lockheed i hāʻule 120,000 i 105,000, e like me nā kānana nui a me ka SEC a ʻo ka hui ʻoi aku i hōʻike i kahi hōʻemi nui ʻana o nā hana 16,350 ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa. I nā huaʻōlelo ʻē aʻe, i nā makahiki ʻeono i hala iho nei, ua hōʻemi nui ʻo Lockheed i kāna limahana hana ʻAmelika, ʻoiai ʻo ia e hoʻolimalima ana i nā limahana ʻē aʻe a loaʻa i nā kālā he nui.
No laila hea ke hele nui aku ai ka nui o ka mea uku ʻikipiki, inā ʻaʻole hana? Ma ka liʻiliʻi o ka pane e loaʻa ai nā mea kūʻai ʻikepili a me nā uku hoʻolimalima CEO. I kēlā mau makahiki ʻeono, kumukūʻai ʻo Lockheed ala mai $ 82 i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o 2012 a i $ 305 i ka hopena o 2018, he ʻaneʻane ʻehā mau kikoʻe. I 2018, ua hōʻike pū ka hui i ka 9 pākēneka ($ 590 miliona) piʻi i kāna loaʻa kālā, ʻo ka ʻoi loa o ka ʻoihana. A i kēlā mau makahiki like, ua hoʻonui ʻia ka uku o kāna CEO e $ 1.4 miliona, e like me kāna pauku nā hoʻoponopono.
I ka pōkole, mai ka 2012 ka nui o nā kālā ʻauhau e hele nei i Lockheed i hoʻonui ʻia e nā piliona, ua aneane pālua ka waiwai o kāna waihona, a ua piʻi ka uku o kāna CEO i 32 pākēneka, ʻoiai e ʻoki ana i ka 14 pākēneka o kāna pūʻali hana ʻAmelika. Akā hoʻomau ʻo Lockheed e hoʻohana i ka hana hana, a me nā hana a kāna mau limahana i kēia manawa, e like me nā pawn politika e kiʻi hou aku i nā kālā ʻauhau. Ua kūʻai aku ka pelekikena iā ia iho i kāna rime e hoʻoliʻiliʻi hou aku i ke kālā i ka Pentagon a hoʻolaha i nā hana lima i nā ʻāina e like me Saudi Arabia, maluna o nā kipi ʻae like ʻole o kekahi ʻae like ʻole i hoʻokaʻawale ʻia.
LOKOʻOLE ʻO KE NORME, KAʻOHE ANA O KĀNUI
ʻOiai ke kū nei o kēia ʻāina a me ka ʻO ke ao nei mea hana ʻoi aku, ʻaʻole ʻo Lockheed ka mea ʻē aʻe akā ʻo ke ʻano maʻamau. Mai 2012 a 2018, ka helu hana ʻole ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa hoʻopiliʻia mai 8 paona i ka pakeneka 4, me ka oi aku ma mua o 13 miliona mau hana hou i hoʻohui ʻia i ka ʻoihana. Eia nō naʻe, i kēlā mau makahiki hoʻokahi, ua hemo nā ʻekolu o nā luna mālama pale kiʻekiʻe. Ma 2018, hana ka Pentagon i kahi kālā he $ 118 biliona kālā federal i kēlā mau limahana, ʻo ia hoʻi ʻo Lockheed-kokoke i ka hapalua o nā kālā a pau i hoʻopau ʻia ma ka poʻe kuikahana. Kokoke kēia ma $ 12 biliona ma mua o kā lākou i loaʻa ai 2012. ^ E Ha yM. Akā, kumulamu, ua pau nā hana i ka hana a ua hoʻohana i kēia manawa he nui o nā limahana ʻo 6,900 ma mua o kā 2012, e like me kā lākou SEC nā hoʻoponopono.
Ma kahi o nā hōʻemi hou ʻana ma Lockheed, ua hoʻopuka ʻo Boeing i nā hana 21,400 a ua hōʻoki ʻo Raytheon i nā limahana ʻo 800 mai kāna uku uku. ʻO ka General Dynamics wale nō a me Northrop Grumman ua hoʻohui i nā hana - 13,400 a me nā limahana ʻo 16,900, kēlā me kēia - e nānā maikaʻi ana i kēlā helu hoʻohālike. Eia nō naʻe, ʻaʻole hiki i kēlā mau "waiwai" ke lilo i hoʻokae no ka hana ma ke ʻano maʻamau, ʻoiai ua hopena like lākou mai nā mea ʻē aʻe ua kūʻai aku kēlā me kēia ʻoihana i kahi limahana Pentagon a hoʻohui ʻia kāna mau limahana i kāna uku uku. Ua loaʻa iā CSRA, ka General Dynamics i 2018 18,500limahana ma mua o ka hui ʻana, ʻoiai ʻo Orbital ATK, i loaʻa i ka General Dynamics i ka makahiki i hala, ua loaʻa 13,900limahana. E hōʻalo i kēia mau hana 32,400 mai ka nui o nā ʻoihana a me nā lilo o nā hana ma nā māka e lilo ka ʻūhā.
Eia kekahi, ʻo ia mau helu hana i komo i nā limahana āpau o ka hui, ʻo ia hoʻi ʻo ka poʻe e hana nei ma waho o United States. ʻO Lockheed ka mea hoʻokahi o nā luna ʻo Pentagon ʻelima kiʻekiʻe e hāʻawi ana i ka ʻike ma ka pakeneka o kāna mau limahana ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, no laila, inā ua hoʻouka nā limahana ʻē aʻe i nā hana ma nā ʻāina ʻē, e like me kā Lockheed i hana a me Raytheon ka nā hoʻolālā i ka hana, ʻoi aku ma mua o 6,900 i nā hana holoʻokoʻa nui o US ua nalowale i nā makahiki ʻeono i hala.
No laila hea i hele ai nā kālā a me ka hana āpau? E like me ka Lockheed, ma ka liʻiliʻi ma kahi hapa o ka pane i ka kālā i hele i lalo a me nā luna i luna. Wahi a a hoike mai PricewaterhouseCoopers, kahi hui kūkākūkā e hāʻawi ana i nā kālailai makahiki o ka ʻoihana pale, "ua loaʻa i ka ʻāpana mokulele a me ka pale kaua (A&D) nā loaʻa kālā a me nā loaʻa kālā ma 2018" me kahi "loaʻa kālā o $ 81 biliona, ʻoi aku ka nui ma mua o ka moʻolelo i hoʻopaʻa ʻia ma 2017. Wahi a ka hōʻike, aia nā mea hana Pentagon ma mua o kēia loaʻa kālā. ʻO kahi laʻana, he $ 590 miliona ka hoʻomaikaʻi hou ʻana o Lockheed, a ukali kokoke ʻia e General Dynamics ma $ 562 miliona. Ke emi nei ka hana, ulu wale nā uku ʻo CEO ma kekahi o kēia mau ʻoihana. Ma waho aʻe o ka uku no Lockheed's CEO ke lele nei mai $ 4.2 miliona i ka 2012 i $ 5.6 miliona ma 2018, uku kālā no ka CEO o General Dynamics i hoʻonui mai $ 6.9 miliona a i 2012 ka pau $ 20.7 miliona ma 2018.
KA MEA I KE KAI LOA O KA HALE LOA
ʻAʻole kēia i ʻoi ka manawa mua i hoʻonui i kēia mau hui i ko lākou hiki ke hana i nā hana i ka wā e hōʻoki ai. E like me Ben Freeman ma mua palapalaʻia no ka Project On Government Oversight, ua ʻoki kēia mau ʻoihana like i ka 10 pakeneka o kā lākou limahana i loko o nā makahiki ʻeono ma mua o ka hoʻokumu ʻia ʻana o ka BCA, ʻoiai ke lele nei nā kālā ʻauhau i ko lākou ala i kēlā me kēia makahiki e aneane 25 pakeneka mai $ 91 biliona a $ 113 biliona.
E like me ka manawa o ka poʻe a me nā mea kākoʻo - a he nui o lākou, ʻoi aku ka nui o nā koina make o nā mea kaua i ʻoi aku ma mua o $ 100 miliona ma ke kālā nāuhae makahiki, haawi haahaa miliona i na dala no na poe kahunapule o Ka Ahaolelo kēlā me kēia manawa koho, a hāʻawi i miliona i e noʻonoʻo nā poʻe kēlā me kēia makahiki - e lūlū lākou e pale i kēlā mau hana. No ka mea, e hoʻomaopopo lākou, ʻo ke kūʻai pale ʻana ke alakaʻi i ka ulu o ka hana i waena o nā subektractor i hoʻohana ʻia e nā puʻu mea nui. Akā naʻe hōʻike pinepine ʻia ʻo ia, ʻoiai me kēia manaʻo "multiplier effect", hoʻohua ka hoʻolilo pale ʻana i nā hana liʻiliʻi ma mua o nā mea āpau a ke aupuni e waiho nei i kā mākou kālā. I ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ma kahi o 50 pākēneka emiwhai ia i ka hana i nā hana ma mua o ka mea ua ʻae ʻia nā mea ʻauhau e mālama i kā lākou kālā a hoʻohana iā lākou e like me kā lākou makemake.
E like me ka hana a ka pāhana ma ke Kulanui o Brown ma hope o ke kaua hoike, "$ 1 biliona i ka hoʻolimalima pūʻali koa hana e like me nā hana 11,200, ke hoʻohālikelike ʻia me 26,700 i ka hoʻonaʻauao, 16,800 ma ka ʻinekema olakino, a ʻo 17,200 i ka mālama olakino." ʻO ke kālā Military maoli nō i hōʻike ʻo ia ka mea poʻokela hana maikaʻi loa i kekahi koho hoʻolaʻa o ke aupuni kuikawa i koho ʻia e nā mea noiʻi. . ^ E Ha yM. Pela no, mamuli o a hoike na Heidi Garrett-Peltier o ka Politekōna ʻImi Kūʻai Kūʻai ma ke Kulanui o Massachusetts, Amherst, no kēlā me kēia $ 1 miliona o ka hoʻokele ʻana ma ka pale, ua hoʻokumu ʻia nā hana 6.9 ma nā hana ʻoihana a me nā kaila hāʻawi. Ke hoʻolilo nei i ka nui like i nā māla o ka makani a i ʻole ka ikaika o ka lā, e kākau ana ia, e alakaʻi ana i nā hana 8.4 a i ʻole 9.5. ʻO ka ʻenehana hoʻonaʻauao, like ka nui o ke kālā i hana ʻia ma nā hana 19.2 ma ke kula haʻahaʻa a me ke kula haʻahaʻa a me nā hana 11.2 ma ke kula kiʻekiʻe. I nā huaʻōlelo ʻē aʻe, ʻaʻole wale nā ʻōmaʻomaʻo o nā ʻōmaʻomaʻo a me nā kula hoʻonaʻauao i mea nui i ka wā e hiki mai ana o ka ʻāina, he mīkini maoli lākou i ka hana. Akā, ke hāʻawi aku nei ke aupuni i nā kālā he ʻauhau nui i ka ʻoihana pale aku ma mua o nā hana āpau a ke aupuni ʻē aʻe hui pūʻia.
ʻAʻole naʻe ʻoe e huli i nā loiloi no ka mālama ʻana e pale i ka hihia. Hōʻike nā hōʻike mai ka hui kālepa ʻoihana pono i ua hoʻoheheʻe ʻia ia i nā hana. Wahi a kahi ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa Aerospace Ka Ikepili, ua kākoʻo ʻia ʻoi i nā hana liʻiliʻi ma 300,000 ma 2018 ma mua o ia hoike ke kākoʻo ʻana aku i ʻekolu makahiki ma mua aʻe.
Inā ka mea ua hoʻokahe nui ka poʻe kūlike o ka lāhui a me ka ʻoihana holoʻokoʻa, pehea pehea i hiki ai iā lākou ke hoʻomau mau a hoʻomau ka hana i ke ʻano o ka mīkini o ka hana hana? I mea e wehewehe i kēia, hoʻohui i kā lākou pūʻali lobbyist, ko lākou waihona waiwai o nā hāʻawi, a me kēlā mau manaʻo e manaʻo nei nā mākaʻi, ʻo ka puka aloha aloha e hoʻouna ana i nā luna aupuni o ka poʻe hana i ka mea hana o ka mea kaua a me ka poʻe e hana ana iā lākou ma Wakinekona.
ʻOiai he manaʻo like ʻole ka pilina ma waena o ka Pentagon a me ka ʻoihana pale, ʻo nā laina ma waena o nā mea hana a me ke aupuni e hoʻopiʻi hou aʻe ana i nā mea o nā makahiki ʻo Trump. ʻO Mark Esper, ke kākau ʻōlelo ʻekepili hou i pale ʻia, no ka laʻana, i hana ʻia ma mua Raytheon's luna ʻoihana ma Wakinekona. Ke hele nei i ke ala ʻē aʻe, ke poʻo o ke ʻoihana ʻoihana ʻoihana ʻoihana ʻo ʻAerospace. Eric Fanning, he kakauolelo elua o ka puali koa a he kakauolelo kakau ole o ka Pae Aina. I ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻo 2008, e like me ka Project on Government Oversight's Mandy Smithberger Loaʻa, "Ma ka liʻiliʻi o 380 ka luna kiʻekiʻe o ka keʻena o ka Defense Defense a me nā luna koa i hoʻololi i ka ʻenekino pilikino e lilo i mau lobbyist, nā lālā o ka papa, nā mea hoʻokō, a i nā mea kūkākūkā paha no nā mea mālama pale pale."
ʻO nā wīlio paha, ʻo ka puka kipi a i ʻole nā mea lehulehu o ka ʻoihana pale, ʻaʻole hiki ke hoʻomohala ʻia ka laina lalo: Inā ʻo ia ka hana hana he metric o kāu koho ʻana, he maikaʻi nā mea ʻae ʻauhau ʻo Pentagon. No laila ke koho ʻia ʻo Marillyn Hewson a i ʻole nā CEO ʻē aʻe i ka ʻoihana pūʻali koa hana e ʻoi aku ke koina o nā mea ʻauhau nui ma luna o nā mākēnē hana e hāʻawi i nā hana i ka poʻe ʻAmelika, e hoʻomanaʻo wale i kā lākou papa mele ma hope loa: ʻoi aku ka nui o nā kālā i lilo i mea ʻoi aku ka hapa o nā poʻe ʻAmelika.
