Comment Erosion of Public Trust (Score 4, Insightful) 159

The increasingly heated bickering between "Team Red" and "Team Blue", along with the vitriol coming from various social media "pundits", has led to a deep distrust of anyone or anything outside of our trusted circles.

The words of Abraham Lincoln come to mind. The United States is a nation divided and unless that is remedied I'm not sure how much longer it will stand.

As always, I hope to be proved wrong.

Comment Re:AI or junior staff no difference (Score 1) 85

The difference is that after several iterations, the junior developer will learn and eventually become a senior developer able to produce reasonable quality code on their own. Then your job can go from reviewing their work to solving new problems. That's also how the next generation of senior developers is created.

Yes, the AI tool will look like it's learning too. What happens when you leave for one reason or another? Will there be anyone to take your place reviewing and correcting PRs, or will they have to just trust the AI?

Here's the definition of Fascism:

A far-right, authoritarian, and ultra-nationalist political ideology. Fascism is characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived interest of the nation or race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy.

Which parts do not describe the current occupant of the White House?

Doing away with fascism is good.

Reverting back to oligarchy is only setting the stage for fascism's return.

We can't just relieve the symptoms. We have to remove the underlying disease, which in this case is the rampant corruption that has been infecting the United States for generations.

Comment Which Democrats Are Benefiting? (Score 0) 201

If the money is going to Neo-liberals like Hakeem Jeffries, Elizabeth Warren, or Nancy Pelosi, then it's going to be wasted. They're simply trying to bring the United States back from Fascism to its former state of Oligarchy.

Once this is over (and it will be over one way or another), I think that the entire structure of governance in the United States (or the remnants of it) needs to be changed to remove this dark money corruption that has been a stain for far too long.

Close, but no cigar.

Hilary Clinton thought that Trump would be the same kind of token opponent she had Lincoln Chaffee be during the Democratic primaries.

Yes, there was that other fellow, but he sold out the day the convention started so that doesn't count.

Clinton and the Neoliberals honestly believed that most people would not be stupid enough to vote for Trump.

She was proven wrong, and our nation's downhill slide accelerated.

From the linked article:

CareerBuilder + Monster also agreed to sell its software services business for federal and state governments to Canadian software company Valsoft, and the military.com and fastweb.com websites to Canadian media company Valnet.

I'm wondering what the regime will do once they figure out that Federal and Civilian Military job information is going appear to go to Canada?

That doesn't make as much of a difference as you seem to think. It still appears that Trump thinks he can order people to move manufacturing to the United States without providing incentives to help offset the cost of building factories and training workers.

It also still appears that the goal is to take America back to the mid-1800's, which was not a good time for the average person.

Not that Trump or his acolytes particularly care about the average person.
