I remember when wearing tan pants was controversial and supposedly unpresidential. This is beyond bizarro world. In the Bible there were hypocritical "leaders" called the Pharisees. Seems there a modern day party of them.

From my understanding, the last budget bill passed (called the big beautiful bill by some) had changes to section 174. Specifically that software R&D could once again be immediately fully expensed in the year incurred rather than amorti

I have a fair idea of how much our cloud costs. However, others in the org don't want me to actually see how much it costs. Which is bonkers. I can help identify how we could rearchitect or investigate lowering our costs, if I know wha

They'll just report speed traps 30 minutes after no reports for the previous 30 minutes. Then you'll think you were one of the first to come up on them when you see them on the side of the road and think they moved on when you see

Republicans also don't want to be fully responsible for what happens.

The Republicans don't want to get rid of the filibuster because they're scared of setting the precedent, they're scared because if they continue to pass bills with zero Democrat votes then they have to own full responsibility

Blame finance and accounting... Rent compute in the cloud can be immediately expensed against revenues. Purchasing equipment has to be depreciated over a few years. Also why spending $$$$$ on labor (salaries) to solve an ops issue rather

I think to be above the curve requires being the first to receive the freshly printed money to buy more assets before they inflate further. You need to be first to benefit... So grift off the government contracts that lead/cause more p
