I don't know if anyone could have predicted that the ARM architecture would become so dominant, but it certainly seems like Intel missed the boat on that one.
I guess I should have been specific. J Edgar was certainly a monster, he ran the FBI like his own private army and multiple presidents just let him do it.
Perhaps principled wasn't the best term I could have used. It was meant in terms of their philosophy of the role of government. There's no question that Herbert Hoover prioritized that over helping people.
His presidency will be remembered not for what he did, which was mostly good, but for what he did not do. His legacy will be viewed similarly to Hoover's. Both were principled men who, when faced with a serious problem, could not find it in themselves to deal with it.
Idaho has been a haven for right-wing antigovernment extremists for decades. This is hardly surprising. They've been waiting for their moment, and Trump has provided it for them.
Cringe.
