Yep, I would also argue that 9.5% is way to low. After doing this for 20+ some odd years, you get maybe 1 or 2 self-driven performers on the team doing the majority of the work. Maybe 2-3 second tier guys that take a small amount of load from the performers. The rest not only do the minimum to get buy, but the introduce a large load on the performers and second tier guys with the constant hand-holding. You can't fire anyone these days either unless they are a white straight male without HR getting heavily involved trying to stop it.

Comment Imagine (Score 0) 114

Imagine being dumb enough to think government bureaucrats and lifelong politicians know anything about how to operate and run a business. All they know how to do is accept large sums of money from some businesses to create policy that give that business an edge over others. This interferes with the free market and creates the breeding ground for monopolies in first place.

If you work in government as an employee or contractor in the past, you know that they ruin everything they touch.

The only thing that needs to happen is separation of business and state like we have with church and state. The backdoor deals between the two always result in screwing over the taxpayer in some way or another.

Yep. Businesses can sensor what they want and let the free market decide who stays around. Hopefully Carr gets rid of the cartel of government working with or in business to censor for political gain. We are already watching some of this in action as mainstream media is failing and being replaced with podcasts and other media sources with less gov control.

Planting more trees couldn't hurt. Instead of going into fields to actually solve these issues, we have morons blocking roads, destroying historic art and bitching about things online. These same morons and those they elected are actively working on destroying Elon Musk while he is attempting to develop better alternatives. Go out and work in a field furthering these improvements. Become a tech in the electric or hydrogen based car research. Work on tech to terraform the barren parts of the earth to grow more carbon scrubbers(trees). Work towards going to other planets for human HA if the worse happens... Work on making existing tech more efficent so that it reduces the impact... So much to do.

All these morons have such a small mindset. They would rather blame someone else for all their issues and wallow in their misery than going out and working towards making a better tomorrow.

Seeing a lot of kids of family members and friends moving back home and living of them now. They sit around, play games and scroll social media all day. The days of working hard for what you want are over as everyone is a victim of some great injustice.

Life is hard. We all had to start small and work really slow and hard to earn better paying jobs, better houses, family... They expect to just be handed everything without the hard work. It is sad really.

The crazy woke crowd has pissed so many people off that folks are buying gas vehicles out of spite now. Plus electric vehicles are not solving the problem. Not only are they still using fossil fuels, they require additional valuable resources for batteries. What resource do we have plenty of that is clean... hydrogen? Maybe if folks would spend time researching and sharing info opensource style instead of protesting, they could bring in some real change instead of just pissing everyone off.

Comment 1984 memory hole (Score 2, Interesting) 62

With constantly changing online content, it will be impossible for anyone to fact-check propaganda coming out of governments and other spaces in the future. Anything that can be "looked up" will be the current facts. Were we always at war with Russia, or were were always at war with China? Resistance to change will only last a couple generations before the new ones are fully indoctrinated to the latest thing? Or is this already happening? Should be be questing the reasons for past major wars or should be just believe the victors?
