If you think being a CS RCG is bad, try being a 55 year old coder who spent the last 30 years honing the craft, only to be laid off into a market where those skills are just no longer needed at all.

My point is that he will be able to pay for a pardon, just like the Biance guy did:

Utterly corrupt pay-to-play pardon scheme by this most corrupt administration. Mindboggling how many pardons he already granted.

The Dems should make a lot of noise about this pardon corruption.

It's easy to explain and easy to understand that pay-to-play pardons make a mockery of justice. I think this could cut through similar to the Epstein Files.

And while I am all in for Ukraine, I don't think that this administration's betrayal and, frankly treason, will resonate as much. Fog of war, and a country far, far away, will make this less front and center than these domestic affairs.

I think Epstein, affordability cost and pardon corruption will be the winning issues.

Only 9% of refugees aged between 25 and 54 are unemployed.

But thank you for illustrating what MapleMAGA looks like, and for demonstrating that we are fighting the same kind of willful stupidity and hate mongering up here.

We are just lucky that our system doesn't allow for gerrymandering.

If he still has enough to grease Donnie's palm a pardon won't be a problem.

Most corrupt administration in my lifetime.

For Aldi, which uses Instacart, I assumed it was because there is no 'fee' for pickup, but they have to pay someone to shop for you. I consider the difference a convenience fee.

That said, by not shopping in store, I end up getting only what is on my list and end up paying FAR LESS than I would if I was wandering around.

They had a very good reporting engine when OLAP was a new thing back in the early 2000s. A business model licensing software that actually delivered value to their customers. What a concept!

Now they are a Ponzi scheme dressed up as a company. Another indication how far the US has fallen that the SEC tolerates this kind of BS.

They also didn't start delving into DEI madness in 2010...neglecting the engineering to chase the "diversity" ghost

Yep, I had writeups from those flame wars. They *REALLY* did not want it discussed. Governors Brown and Kotek continued the pay-to-play system, which is what lost Oregon the Ohio CHIPs foundry campus (before they realized that Biden wasn't going to pay out CHIPs act at all).

All one needs to see this is to be employed at Intel in June, when every single monitor becomes rainbows and the rainbow flag flies on campus every month.

Not to mention the millions spent on DEI hiring of marginal people based only on demographics.

He did, on the promise of the Biden CHIPs act money- the employees ballooned to 145,000 worldwide by October 2022.

Due to CHIPs act not coming through as planned, in December 2022 they started rounds of layoffs, which Lu Tan is continuing

No amount of AI can make up for the number of interceptors. The entire dome metaphor is stupid and misleading. Layered air defense systems have been around since forever. Slapping the AI and dome label on it doesn't change this one bit. It's just marketing.

The only new quality in air defense are laser based systems such as the British Dragon Fire. But those aren't a dome either.

OK. So just petty.

And BTW I am based in the "51st state" and advocate that we need a nuclear break out capability because of such nice neighbors as you.

During the Biden admin the US passed several support packages. None during the current administration. The support now falls squarely on Europe alone.

There also has been a bipartisan sanction bill ready in the senate for months now but it won't move unless he gives the go ahead.

The current DimWit "peace plan" obviously originated in the Kremlin and Witkoff couldn't act more like a Russian agent if he tried.
