You are talking about austerity, you just try your best to call it something else. Instead of weasel words, try solutions.

'Fortune 200'. Maybe the problem with innovation in those companies starts there?

This makes no sense, and doesn't counter what I said about silo job functions concerning union contracts which define work functions and responsibility that don't allow interdepartmental collaboration to occur. When employees can't apply experience across multiple disciplines to different functions within the company then it is obvious innovation is stifled...
It isn't about winning or losing... The constitution states "To declare War" oppose to "To make war" which could be interpreted as the president has the ability to start hostilities without the declaration of war as well as the president has the ability to conduct policing actions, regardless other foreign policy still falls under the executive branch excluding trade acts which would become law of the land. The president whether you like it or not can squeeze foreign nations without approval from congress coming full circle to the point about how much power the president holds when dealing with foreign relations including extorting foreign nations to build walls. I believe the gulf of tonkin incident is a perfect example of what measures a president can take without congressional approval... The supreme court has yet to rule on the interpretation...

My all-time favorite is when they call themselves 'conservatives', and then want to change or ignore the Constitution, lol

I didn't change or make the interpretation of the constitution it is what has happened... It has occurred under both democrat and republican presidents... Plus you have to understand Neo Conservatives began with Dixie democrats invading the republican party.....

Harry Truman a democrat was the first one to by pass the constitution without a formal declaration of war when we went to war in Korea which began a slippery slope....

Union workers in the same location all don't make the same pay.
Work functions are defined because if they weren't nothing would stop a company from hiring people as lower paid fork truck drivers and using them in the role of higher paid machinists

BOTH of my folks majored, mastered and taught English before moving on to careers that require a complete command of the subtleties of the language.
What you posted up there was management speak, confusing to someone actually trying to get something done and speaks to a corporate culture inimical to new ideas. It's places like those that innovative people like me LEAVE so we can be left the fuck alone by idiots in management spewing bullshit like that!
I'd suggest an entirely different way of running a company but I doubt you'd be open to it.
Silo job functions are there so management can make sure no one knows too much about the company process. That's because they're terrified of the idea that workers at places like these might have better ideas than they do.
Our country is going down the tubes exactly because of 40+ years of this kind of thinking. I don't want more of the same, warmed over stupidity that got us here, I want change. The REAL THING, not merely a slick media campaign.

Or "fiscal conservatives" who want to expand the federal government by building walls and feeding the military industrial complex..
I'm pretty sure Conservatives forgot what the fuck they were trying to conserve in the first place...

Exactly. It's as if they've decided to hijack the language and turn it inside out.
Doublespeak, anyone? Do I hear George Orwell calling?
If everyone thinks something different when the same terms are used, communication breaks down. Those who profit from the ongoing division continue to do so. Sound familiar?

Hillary is running for Queen. Until Sanders came along, she believed her coronation had already taken place.
Moot point. They're both going down. They're both dorks and an embarrassment to the current far left party - the DNC "led" by that dim witted brillo headed Debbie "WasMahName" Shitz.

So if democrats are doing such a shit job and they win in November, what's that say about the party you support?
You're doing exactly what loud mouthed fighters do before the fight, they trash talk their opponent's skills, call them weak or amateur, then when they get their ass beat, they're Johnny on the spot with the excuses...
...just like you will be on Nov. 3rd
