Comment If you don't hire entry-level workers now... (Score 1) 157

... where will you find experienced workers seven years from now? Seems like someone's making a really big bet on AI improving a whole lot soon. And when the next AI winter comes, a lot of people will be paying a lot more for the workforce they need.

Comment Just more leftist propaganda (Score 0) 273

For those who have been asleep for the last ten years: the left claims that *everything* Trump does will be an end-of-the-world disaster. The left has barely finished screaming about how dropping a few bombs on Iran will start WWIII. Just like Trump making fun of Kim Jun Un will start WWIII.

The left is also screaming about how 14 million people will die if Trump stops some obvious government waste, fraud, and abuse.

None of this stuff ever happens. It is just propaganda.

BTW: diversity hiring is a civil rights violation, and - in the long run - the worst thing you can do for minorities.

Comment I'm torn (Score 2) 220

I'm torn on this. I believe nuclear is an import part of clean energy and should be used. At the same time, I know in the US energy companies are generally private companies, meaning they care about profits more than anything else. Nuclear power plants can be run safely, but I have no faith the an American company WILL run them safely. When the choice is saving some money or raising risk by 1%, most companies will take the small amount of risk to save the money. With a nuclear plant, that should never happen.

Comment Re:Are we part of Israel now? (Score 1) 173

It is because while they hate Jews, they love Israel. The biggest reason is the evangelicals think Israel has to take back all the land before the rapture can happen. So they are big Israel supporters. Mind you when the rapture happens, all the jews die and go to hell, and they are 100% OK with that.

Comment Are we part of Israel now? (Score 5, Interesting) 173

This is what it has come to? We will scan for antisemitic activity, but nothing else? So if you post about supporting killing all Muslims, that is not a red flag they are looking for? I can understand wanting to look for anti-american sentiment (not agree with it, but at least understand it). But looking for anti-Israel sentiment and nothing else just says that Israel is running things for the US. How about any type of violence related activity toward anyone?

Comment Why I stopped going to movies (Score 1) 183

I used to go the theaters all the time, no I hardly ever go.

In no particular order:

1. Way to expense for an experience that, at best, is marginally better than watching it on television.
2. Annoying people in theaters who talk non-stop and use their phones.
3. Movies are not very good. Uninteresting stories. Uninteresting characters. Rehashed woke crap. Nothing that is thought provoking in the least.
4. Time travel and parallel universes mean that nothing that happens actually happens, so who cares? Main character dies? No problem, some time travel will fix that right up.
5. It will be streaming soon enough anyway.
