You are insane. You need to take a walk outside an unplug from the 24/7 fear porn that's being fed to you.

Let me help you with a source. Do you really pay so little attention to the news? This has been covered in most news outlets.

Thank you for being honest about your authoritarianism. I wonder if your opinion would change if Trump were the one pushing this.

You should read what you wrote several times.

Media outlets like FNC, The Blaze, and OAN have covered the story many, many times already. CNN, MSNBC, NPR, etc. have been ignoring and denying it.

Thus is why you need to consume news from more than one source.

I don't understand the obsession with the whole video game streaming model.

They need to maintain a large number of high-powered machines with expensive graphics cards, and pay a lot of cash for very high quality bandwidth (extreme low latency). Then, they need to find consumers who A) are interested in the product, and B) have an extremely fast network connection. More than a few ms and input latency is noticeable, making games unplayable.

Google couldn't pull it off. Not saying that Google has all the answers, but they do have a lot of very smart people working there and, essentially, unlimited resources when it comes to data centers and networks. Stadia was a flop. What makes Netflix think that it can succeed here?

I am more astonished that this is a story. Man has bad ram chip. Wow.

The strategy, as usual, is "win at all costs so I can keep my cushy job, influence, and income streams."

I wish that we would have a greater number of moral and honest people run for office, and I wish that the voters would support those people.

Which unemployment rate? Because there's multiple ways of measuring it.

The common measurement is "people who are unemployed but seeking work." I forget which measurement that is in the documentation... E2? E3? Anyway, it doesn't include people who are sitting at home doing nothing. And in the covid era, many people wanted to work, but were literally barred from dong so because of government restrictions. So that affects things too.

Workforce participation is a more interesting number to look at, too.

Not saying that any given number is "good" or "bad" by the way; it's just data and it needs to be understood in context.

Do you know why the M2 money supply had that giant spike?

I'll tell you: It's because restrictions were lifted from savings accounts, and the money in savings accounts was considered part of the general money supply.

And at the same time, we prohibited people from working to produce said goods and services, we screwed up transportation, and paid people to stay home doing nothing. Inflation is affected by more than just the money supply - too many dollars (which is what everyone talks about) chasing too few goods (which nobody talks about).

That's the issue, though. Most people are not willing to be honest about our problems. They're mired in tribalism. They don't want to solve any issues; they just want to WIN, and WIN at all costs.

We need to not only fine the fires, but tax them, too, to make sure they're paying their fair share. Also we need at least another thousand pages of regulations.

Younger people WANT the control because they were never raised to be adults. They are still children, but have replaced mom and dad with government.

I see software written with additional layers of abstraction when they aren't really necessary.

A factory that generates another factory which creates a DAO that takes a client object that...

For some use cases, sure. That makes sense and is necessary. But in many other cases it is complete overengineering and bloat.

Keep your projects simple. Keep your dependencies few. You can always add things later but finding time to remove bloat is very difficult to justify to the bean counters.
