That's a logical explanation, and his toddler-like mind is inadequate enough to believe it, but there are some other good ones. For example, this is an attack on our country motivated by the carrot of Russian funding (Donnie Dipshit's even dumber kids told us about it) and the stick of Russian release of incontrovertible video evidence he rapes kids, which I would bet good money exists.
From what I see here government programs are never allowed to die if anyone has their congressman's phone number and a x account of a journalist.
From what you see where? Slashdot? There's a wider world out there.
What I do know is remote sensing from very cheap platforms that float in the ocean and report in via starlink or other cheaply avaialbe platform are part of the past 20 year changeover to moving to moving to cheap disposable platforms

Oh, please do get fucked, Ivan.
Is that worse than a rapist and child molester? Those didn't matter to you, now terrorist does?
All of those things matter to me, but:
1) A lot of his base is too stupid to believe it and
2) Terrorism can affect a whole lot more people, so it is actually more serious. This is not in any way to downplay the import of Cheeto Benito being a rapist and child molester, which are obviously serious enough crimes to justify action, and not in any way to justify maggots not caring about rape.
Let's be real here, the lame x86 architecture should be dropped at some point.
If it's so "lame", did Apple choose to switch to it wholesale because they are also "lame"?
So if I start a company, sell you some software and then go out a business, then what?
The obvious fix is to require that a version with no DRM be held in escrow and released if your company sinks, with prison time for execs if it doesn't work so that it actually gets tested. This would actually work, so it won't be implemented.
Graduates have massive debts in most cases, right?
Irrelevant. That is a different issue.
The student loan issue was the endgame of a social experiment that failed with horrible outcome. And make no mistake, it was not a capitalistic or conservative experiment.
1. People were told that having a degree - any degree - was the mark of a superior being. They bought into it.
2. Young people, encouraged by their parents, teachers and society, started going to college en masse, buoyed by loans that covered everything, tuition, books, living expenses.
3. It fell apart in two parts. First was that the "any degree" paradigm allowed young people who were perhaps not "college material" to take majors that were not going to give them employment possibilities that would allow paying back the loans. Opinion degrees don't prepare a person for gainful employment.
Second was it was simply unsustainable.
Universities added layer upon layer of middle management using that money. They are re-adjusting at this point. Painfully.
Meanwhile, those who took majors that could land them a good paying career, could pay back their loans. I work with a number of them.
I do feel a little badly for those who wasted their college years on degrees that qualify them for the same jobs as the guy who quit school in 10th grade. But damn, why was this obvious to me when I first heard of the loans? I mean, I'm not the sharpest pencil in the box, so why did so many people who are smarter than me buy into it?
It sure seems extremely expensive.
Compared to what?
almost half of Americans have totally disengaged at this point and the other half believes themselves so powerless that (to use a Douglas Adamsism) they're only concerned with preventing the wrong lizard from being elected.
We are powerless to fix the problem by voting while the lazy cowards refuse to vote.
But we are also powerless to fix the problem with revolt while half of the people willing to do something want to do something shit.
Putin-senpai will never notice you no matter how far you open your mouth.
They snatch civilian men from the streets and throw them into the battle zone to meet their death, and they still have the audacity to talk about winning
Yeah, but what about Ukraine?
Back when we weren't so hardcore capitalist, people used to have a job for life and would stick with a company even after they skilled up. The company would reward them with better salary as they became more senior.
Nowadays the only way to get a decent salary bump is to move company, and people do that a lot because the cost of living is so high.
I always like to point out that I retired at 55, was searched out for work after "retirement", and my present employer recently gave me a 50 percent raise.
Kind of flies in the face of your "only way" comment.
Obviously we're in a world where young people do not know how to communicate via messaging systems, online web apps and email. They need to be physically sitting on a file cabinet in my cube while I slam obscure commands into a terminal and swear semi-silently at every typo.
I don't know who writes all this shit, but my experience is that our new hires have less desire to be in an office, in a strange city far from home, than I do.
Our new hires didn't want to work, truth be told. They wanted to be back in school, Mom and Dad and student loans paying the bills. It was a good gig while it lasted.
But do you for a minute believe that a person who likely has never worked a job in their life would be ready to become a productive employee with a positive career trajectory if they were just handed their duties, then left alone with them?
Perhaps this generation has risen like Venus from the sea, fully formed, competent in all aspects of employment - but they would be the first, so I doubt it. I'm pretty adroit in my field, and it took a while to get there, and the only part that was from home was reading books on teh subject during my off time.
I do roughly 50:50, home and onsite. The whole "I will only work from home" business has a few issues.
Networking is a big one (I know networking is a 4 letter word on Slashdot, but hear me out) Like it or not, it is really hard to network from home. I've always networked well. Even became friends with many co-workers, and that really helps with career trajectory. And it is an exceptional way to create synergy. Some might call it schmoozing, but then again, I'm a pattern weaver, so all the interactions are a learning experience. In the end, I have been hired twice because I am a known quantity.
A person who makes a demand that they will only work from home is purposely limiting their career choices. You don't get the learning and career leap that requires full time in person work. And there are many jobs that require actual presence. You as a remote worker are only an avatar on a teams or zoom screen. The interactions I have with the people I remote with and those I interact with in person are quite different.
So I take it you stood up for yourself and found a better job, right? Right?!
What on Earth gives you that idea? Did you read what I wrote?
Your experience is universal. Mine is different, but therefore irrelevant. Thank you.
It's not exactly a controversial position. Most of Europe at least partially funds education through taxation, because capitalism doesn't deliver what the country needs. It's the tragedy of the commons, every company wants to use the pool of existing skilled labour, none of them want to contribute to maintaining it.
I pay several thousand every year to fund education through taxes. Your statement insinuates that the USA does not fund education.
And since we are talking about capitalism, and you seem to think the USA is the prime example, allow me to show you what your claim shows.
