From the Huffington Post Why Workplace Jargon Is A Big Problem http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/04/25/work-words_n_5159868.html?utm_hp_ref=business&ir=Business When we replace a specific task with a vague expression, we grant the task more magnitude than it deserves. If we don't describe an activity plainly, it seems less like an easily achievable goal and more like a cloudy state of existence that fills unknowable amounts of time. A fog of fast and empty language has seeped into the workplace. I say it's time we air it out, making room for simple, concrete words, and, therefore, more deliberate actions. By striking the following 26 words from your speech, I think you'll find that you're not quite as overwhelmed as you thought you were.

This one is weird, it seems like it is smaller and lower altitude that the first balloon. I suspect this is not Chinese but either a missing US balloon, or private drone or private balloon. I will stay away from UFO. I think they are just freaked out by the last balloon and overreacting to anything.
I suppose it could be a smaller Chinese balloon.
They just shot down a third one in Canada.
Fourth object in Montana. I am not sure if this really spy stuff or they are freaked out by anything and everything and shooting mylar balloons.
It looks like that the Montana may have just been a radar anomaly. However China is now claiming that it has objects flying over them that they are going to shoot down. It could a balloon cold war.
At some level I simply do not care what China does. We have Russia to deal with and 2024 could be another possibility for fascisim in the US. A few balloons is nothing.
Another one shot down today by Wisconsin. The balloon war continues. By the way for all you history buffs the first "spy" balloons used in war was 1794 by the French, we seem to be going backward in time.
Does anyone else find this stuff a bit disconcerting? We are close to a conflict with Russia and now we are kind of getting essentially into a shooting war with China.
Well take heart, suppose we did not have nuclear determent than maybe we would already be in giant conventional war so the nukes are preventing that. Of course it call all go sideways really fast.
Looks like a private hobby balloon. Cool

Because we shot down a surveillance balloon in our airspace? Get real.
