Comment It's always flattening management (Score 0, Troll) 15
I figured out the scam a while ago. The original purpose of management was to keep an eye on unions and prevent employees from unionizing. Seriously Google it.
America doesn't really have unions anymore so we don't really have management anymore. What you have are basically a handful of people to implement policy and then you have a shitload of line workers declared management for a variety of unpleasant reasons ranging from managers being exempt from overtime pay to using the manager title to get a lot more work out of someone for very little additional pay if any...
And every time it's layoff time they can jettison these "managers" and tell everyone they're just flattening the organization and making things more efficient so nobody starts poking around asking if the company is viable and if they should be selling off the stock.
It's also a very effective way to fire old people without getting sued for age discrimination. IBM fucking loves doing that and if you actually look at the history of their layoffs it's almost entirely age discrimination pretending to be efficiency
I am so tired of seeing the same fucking tricks work over and over and over again.

I'm not a admin so I don't actually run my own VMs but from talking to other admins there is nobody who has tools for doing the kind of deployments you need to do in a large Enterprise except for VMware. I mean the tools exist but you're going to spend so much money paying people to monkey around with them you might as well just paid VMware.
There is a video from a YouTuber called Linus tech tips. His actual tech tips tend to be pretty shit but he does have one good video where he spent a few weeks trying to get all the people in his business off Adobe software and quickly found that yes he could do it but the man hours and the pay he had to spend doing it exceeded the cost of the licenses.
That's what Big Data gets you. You know exactly how much you can screw everybody over. You leave absolutely nothing on the table. Basically a giant fuck you to Leviticus 19:10.

The voters are correctly assessing the threat they just can't do anything about it because like I mentioned they spent 50 years dismantling democracy to stick it to the libs. You can't really do that. You can't get rid of democracy for somebody else and keep it for yourself democracy is a All or nothing proposition

So far so good? Surely the camera must have given this cop an image of the car that he could see was the wrong colour. It should never have got as far as her apartment.

Huawei was targeted because it was an R&D powerhouse, and all it did was make them redouble their efforts. Sanctions can't do much about patents because if they tried, it would just make other countries invalidate US patents in response.

It's basically the death of any community. That's why people scream at those Town Hall meetings. But they haven't figured out that they can't do anything about it as long as they keep voting Republican.

I do not think it's unfair to call the Republican party a terrorist organization. They have repeatedly been caught blocking critical legislation or passing legislation that hurts the American people in order to blame the Democrats for the damage done. That is causing fear and pain or political benefit which is definitely terrorism.
At this point what needs to happen is the Republican party needs to be wiped clean and the Democrat party needs to split between the centrists and the progressives. Trying to reform the Republican party would be like trying to reform the national socialists if not going to happen.

I have watched several videos of local county level Town officials being screamed at by their constituents because they approved the data center. And they just let it wash over them because they know when election time comes it's going to be a choice between them and a Democrat and there is no way in hell those people are going to vote for a fucking Democrat.
