They’re just so eager to pull their masks off, like. Like, there is only so much algorithm manipulation can do to obscure observable reality from their audience.
So, thing is USDA guarantees a minimum price for stuff like corn and dairy, paying the difference between the actual market price and the minimum price to farmers. So the market price for them will drop but production won’t, and chances are, most of the stuff will end up getting thrown out or used in utterly absurd way. Closing USAID just removes a potential useful outlet for the surplus. Rather than corn getting used for subsidizing food costs in other countries, it’ll be up getting used to make potting soil, gasoline and dry wall. Not because it makes economic sense to do so, but because the government will pay the economic losses that are inherent in such wasteful use cases.
So the issue is, that those are two different categories. USAID tends to be food stuff that the US massively over produces, dairy, corn, soy, ect. These are all categories that are highly automated and don’t require much labor (relative to other categories)
The places where the most migrant labor is utilized are things like fruits, vegetables, and meat processing. stuff that can’t be mechanized to the same degree as corn or milk. Stuff that doesn’t tend to get exported as part of USAID because it is in demand in the US.
It’s absurd because Biden wasn’t doing anything, like he was upholding the status quo, with limited efforts to patch up some issues.
Trump is straight up trying to gut the federal government and sell it for parts as well as legitimately trying to take away people’s rights, if not straight up make their existence a crime.
He’s also trying to do this with a pretty weak mandate. Most people who did want him wanted him for a specific policy and ignored the rest.
So he’s creating a huge amount of backlash while only appeasing a small group with each action.
Definitely, just to prevent it from being normalized. Just like crypto, flying cars, psychics, MLM businesses, this shit will fade in to the into the domain of low skill grifters.
I remember so many examples of windows doing stuff like this.
Specifically the most annoying I ever ran in to was Microsoft office click to run, like, as far as I understood it, it was a background service to update Microsoft office, it always ran in the background and would routinely eat up system resources, not a ton but way more than something like that should have been. It kept ignoring my instruction to not start on system start up, and kept getting reinstalling when I resorted to just ripping it out.
Now why, you may be wondering would I want to get rid of a program meant to keep office up to date? BECAUSE, I didn’t use office, I didn’t have a license even, I had uninstalled it in fact, but for some reason click to run was still there like a weed. So many other annoyances with attempting to remove other programs I didn’t want or need but windows would just keep reinstalling.
“eDgE Is A cOrE pArT oF tHe Os”
y tho
Anyways, that’s why I replaced windows as the OS on my computer.
And more importantly It reveals his character in a way that some of his die hard supporters might actually care about.
He’s been shedding fans for a long time now, but way slower than he’s been going off the rails, because the things he’s done have rarely been directly contradictory to the image his fans have of him. Sure taken as a whole they are, but individual actions can be written off as haters using cult logic.
This though, this is… just so pathetic… so blatantly approval seeking and manipulative tendencies.
“ No you don’t understand it will improve user experience!”
We’ll i’m a users and it’s not improving my experience.
“Noooo it’s intuitive and more human way to interface!”
I’m sorry but I don’t find it intuitive to have to speak in riddles and hypotheticals to convince the search engine that it should tell me something.
“Ok but these are just teething issues the tech will improve over time.”
Then put it back in the fucking oven because it ain’t ready yet. Stop forcing me to participate in this shitty alpha. If you can’t improve this any further without public trials then I’m pretty sure it will never be a viable technology in the roles it’s being forced in to.
