  • And sometimes you get so used to there being brightly colored ads, corporate propaganda motivational messages and various warning signs everywhere, that you develop a blindness for everything too flashy and ignore it until you encounter a roadblock that doesn't yield.

  • one has to credit Democrats’ outright stupidity and obstinance in the face of a base demanding real change.

    They're beholden to the same forces of campaigning and capital in a first-past -the-post system. If they wanted change that matters, their financial backers pull out.

  • That's not a government problem per se. Same happens in private businesses. Somebody gets an incentive to bring down payroll. Internal expertise gets chucked out and external people come in. A bonus is given to the manager for reducing headcount. Costs on external people goes up explosively. Incentive for infernal expertise gets created. It's a fun cycle if you're there at the right moment.

  • And on the other hand there are a bunch of inefficiencies because a department is underfunded and understaffed.

    But mostly cutting means people depending on the services get less. That's a lot of fun with tornado warnings and air traffic control.

  • Journalists that are critical and environmentalists first. Then harass anybody with left leanings, make a few examples out of them. The usual authoritarian stuff. It'll get worse once there are false flag operations.

  • The expectation is that they'll have to hire back a lot of developers back in a panic once the consequences start hitting.

    There is a small chance a new AI is developed in time that is actually good at coding and debugging in a complex environment before that point but for now that seems unlikely.
