Don't worry, we saved at most $2 million by letting US AID food rot.

It served its purpose, it cut aid to those who needed it and gave money to those who didn't. I think maybe they thought that cutting the social safety nets would have saved more money, but that's all they're going to be upset about.

If there is a WWIII, I doubt America will be left alone as much as it was the last two times, especially since that led to America becoming the economic powerhouse it became.

The cop was armed and was already known to shoot someone in the back, the father was afraid for his life and had to make a split second decision.

Well they certainly can't blame themselves now, imagine how much pain it would cause them to realize the truth.

A guy I used to work with would, at least I would swear it, submit shit code just so I would comment about the right way to do it. No matter how many times I told him how to do something. Sometimes it was code that didn't actually do anything. Working with co-pilot is a lot like working with that guy again.

Too bad he won't be arrested and charged for all the laws he broke.

Weird, guy who breaks laws with impunity doesn't care about laws.

He's in the class of people protected by the law but not bound by it, and we're in the class of people bound by the law but not protected by it.

It's not a dead language. And while I don't care much for it, only move if it makes sense. The reason the company I worked with moved, was because the servers were getting very costly to keep up, and the parts were becoming rarer. So they were concerned they might be in a situation where they'd be unable to work for up to three weeks. And they had already done some work moving several of their systems and apps to C# and virtual servers. And it still took years in order to do it with minimal disruption to business operations.

But since the Department of dipshit doesn't actually care about disrupting services that affect the working people, I bet they'll do it and be like, oops, our bad, Biden made us do it.

As someone who was part of a team that moved a company off of a mainframe into the modern world of technology (about ten years ago). It takes years.

I guarantee that this is going to go badly. It's going to take much longer than they think. And it's going to be very expensive.

But I also guarantee that they don't care. It seems they're more than happy to weaken the US in pursuit of profit and to help Putin for some reason.

My point is, what the law is doesn't matter if the law is not enforced. Good luck fighting a team of lawyers that make more in a minute than you do in a year.
