re: I inherited a project from a previous manager

And regardless, if the project fails, it is my fault. I am the commander.
Sure.
I'm not saying that the commander isn't at fault.
I'm saying that both commanders are at fault: one for proposing the project in the first place and the other for implementing it.

It's rather apparent you've never held a leadership position.
No, I don't think it is.
If you're a leader, you'd blame both managers for different reasons. One may get more blame than the other but both are clearly at fault for different reasons.
We had a project a few years ago go wrong like this. Both managers were blamed for the project going wrong.

I was a company commander. My company had been in existence since WWII. Are you saying if I fricked anything up as the commander, it wasn't really my fault since it wasn't really my company?
No, but if it was based on a decision the previous commander made, I would blame both this commander and the previous one.

If you think the vast majority of people in Afghanistan lived like this, you're delusional.
This is in Kabul, not representative of most Afghanis or the way they lived back then. The situation for most Afghanis was much more the way that it is under the Taliban outside of city areas.

The current manager has full control over the project. He can change it, modify it, or push it out as long as he sees fit. It is his project. Period.
It's not his project though.
It's been a project for the past 20 years.

It's both your faults really.
But if the previous manager had set it up in such a way that if you didn't enact it, it would lead to your termination, then I would blame the previous manager.

Yet you had idiots on here yesterday claiming Trump and Republicans should own the withdrawal because it’s wildly popular with the American people
That was one individual.
Most people would say the Republicans should be silent and let Biden own it.
However, I don't think it will hurt Biden for more than a few weeks. People will forget in a few weeks.

Now if you are referencing Taliban violations during the Biden admin, I apologize. I made the assumption that you meant during the Trump admin.
I'm referencing both administrations.
Biden did nothing and neither did Trump.

This gets better. Your hack media is working against you. Damn near every article written during the Trump admin blames the US on violating the Doha agreement.
That's not true though. I've seen plenty of articles blaming the Taliban for violating the agreement. The Pentagon even came out and said it.

How is it wise allowing people who couldn't strengthen their own countries to flee for better lives here, only to try and change the very fabric of what has made our countries so desirable?
Couldn't the same then be said to white settlers who did a very similar thing?
From the late 1800s to the 1950s, white Europeans fled their home countries to make America their home.

Well, I'm of the belief that it needed to be done regardless of this crisis.
There's no ammunition left otherwise.
The highly leveraged model I'm trading right now relies on low rates but even I think that rates need to rise. I'll have to swap treasuries for consumer staples but I admire Volcker for the stance he took back then.

All that economic growth you're talking about literally vanishes.
Which is why I said the FED has been addicted to low rates for such a long time. The bullet needs to be bit.
They will need to raise rates eventually. It can be done over a period of time and while some growth will be sacrificed, I don't think all the economic growth will vanish.

Respond or don't.
Inflation is overrated. Deflation is the real problem because banks can't lower rates much.
Central banks can't go lower but they can go higher (and there's an argument to be made that the FED is addicted to low rates).

What, in particular, in that policy helped America?
I'm a Keynesian so using the Keynesian model, it increased aggregate demand which increased our output. It also resulted in increased inflation but central banks should raise rates which means it's easy to respond to.
Inflation as a problem, in my opinion, is far easier to respond to then most people would think.

This is just me responding to people pretending that Biden will resign or it will have an impact.

They had us by the ropes then.
