My wife has a friend which got workers into the US on visas for work. In business since 1990.

Recently at a luncheon the owner mentioned voting for Trump for several reasons also pointing out Biden intended to increase some paperwork costs to some $400.

That company is now out of business.


Well I'm not sure about any of that.

I will say this: a demonstrably better foreign policy to the good for the USA and everybody else is our own energy sufficiency trending into green energy.

Two, Israel and surrounding countries get they're act together themselves. Own you're own liberty. Like Aeschylus' Oresteia the furies are out of control.

Three, the general we in the US who voted for trump, the senate that approved the idiots running the executive branch, must move away from shadow boxing culture warfare. It's a waste. The dems lost twice to trump; they are out of touch. The current slate of Republicans are a sinister combination of wusses, liking trumps broader policies, but executing them so malignly and incompetently it's breaking into systemic destruction from law to prices. Im not a liberal; nobody is owning me with smart ass memes. We are simply failing each other while debt increases, our friends in the world are cold hearted to us (derservedly), while congress will not discharge its constitutional responsibilities.

I think im gonna volunteer to help with 2026 voting. Its our next shot at righting this rotten ship.


Loved this. Thanks.

a couple of general points:

- the bad guys always eat their own as a "show of strength"

- the trump administration is a joke at bringing cases. Most go no where. Maybe Tucker is fine.

- at some point the west got sick and tired of moody king's, court gossip, and palace intrigue. Hell the French court had guys taking daily stool samples on Louis in this context. In light of this we may well have to independently rediscover from zero all over again how right our forefathers were.


The interviewer question was adversarial... don't think it puts them in a good light.

More importantly I appreciate the OP for describing lessons learned through this hard experience. I worked in finance: Cassandra is no kind of answer for systems of record

Thanks


I tend to agree subject to the condition states pay for the ID creation, and provided states mandate this themselves. I agree because some better operational control wouldn't hurt.

The fed has no real business here. Hell, the clowns on the hill can't handle what they should have been doing all along. It's something like 10 years since the last time budgets got done in regular order. Debt, interest on the debt are big problems. The DOD can't pass an audit. We have a war in Iran without congressional authorization. Let's face it: congress is an institutional zero.

Trump has the devil's problem, except even the devil isn't that stupid. He says 2+2=4 (analogously show id). But there's no trust. Moreover trump is replete in attempts to cheat, distort, and corrupt voting. Nakedly so. Therefore, he is his own worst enemy here.

Cheating or errors don't alter elections. Trump et al lost 10s of cases saying otherwise. Trump is all talk. No reality. It must suck to be him.

But you know what would help more? Getting the people who don't vote at all out. Thats some 40ish percent of all Americans. In Brazil you are fined for not voting.


Well ok ... experiment but maybe unlike c++ we could have added N keywords removed M keywords for arguably net-simpler language.

Geez I'd hate to be in rust dev shoes if I can't remove something later when I have a better better min/max. I guess this could be done off main, stable.


Correct. I was raised but quit this environment around 15. Peculiar to us American's is the Protestant evangelical Christains who for which the apocalyptic books of Revelations, Daniel is literally true. And thereto every 10-15 years there's a bunch of Armageddon is nigh runs hot in their world.

The last one I suffered through was the era of US v. Communism with a side of AIDs around 1980. Seriously demented nonsense.

And something else again from personal dealings here: the evangelical type is pushy boot strapping God's plan for them into material world through networking, media savvy, outrage, fear and basic organizational money raising to power.

Its strange to watch. Alone they seem to have no bearings or self importance or relevance. To get what they feel they need, they attach to the flag, goverment ie to power in state.


>optics that were the problem

Steady Eddy! In so saying you're showing a lot of your own cards


How? It's just that he minds how it looks, not what it is. Or, as another poster suggested, she wasn't sending more graft his way.


Pperception is reality is the hill 21st century corporate America died on. It's contrary to engineering (in the natural sciences or at least humanities), and contrary to the drucker/ishikawa's emphasizing customer satisfaction

I'm liking what I see here. Thank you.


Thanks for the feedback!
