And you can’t fire all of the engineers and replace them HR drones and expect to maintain the revenues and profits. Under you theory, companies should start laying off at the top and work down until the proper $/person metric is obtain

I propose a weekly lottery. Each week we select 1 billionaire and one person making less than 50k. The peasant gets a gun, 1 bullet, and a free shot from 30ft. Lottery continues until the social contract is restored. There was a time when c

Same here. And I’m never going to default on a 2% loan. Hell I may never sell again unless I can pay cash, because I never want an 8% mortgage again

In high school maybe. All my stem classes in college were graded on a curve. First exam freshman year was physics. I walked out thinking I failed. There were questions I did not answer. Later that night they posted raw scores. Mine was 48 p

That’s the line that gets me. >Higher payroll costs than they could afford. I find it disingenuous for companies having record profits, stock buybacks etc to use such an excuse

No. But until we acknowledge that we can pay for it directly, pay for it indirectly with packed ERs and dubious means testing and bureaucracy, or let the poor die are the only options we are never going to solve it

When you really need it, say dialysis for kidney damage after years of high blood pressure, then you will realize how screwed you are. My mother-in-law had four years of dialysis. Monthly cost was 70k according to the insurance statements.

I learned this lesson the hard way. I bought a new car after college graduation. Ordered it from the factory, got exactly what I wanted, picked it up with 5 miles on the odometer. I waged that car 4 times in three days. On the 4th day, my m

Alexa was very helpful with my inlaws. We had them scattered throughout the house in case of falls. Neither of them would wear the life alert necklace. What I never found was a good app for medication reminders.

TikTok altered the narrative. This is why the US Government keeps freaking out about TikTok. They don’t know who gets to pull the strings with the algorithm. Is it pro environmental, antigovernment, anticoporate? They don’t have to censor,

I like to quite Dave Barry: A resume is not just a piece of paper, it’s a piece of paper covered in lies. And it can be the difference between not getting a job, and not even coming close

One does not want to be caught telling tales out of school when the boss is compiling lists of people to lay off. Do we really think all the bloodletting is done? I expect it to be a quarterly event to keep making the numbers for the stock

Perl killed itself with the Perl5 transition to Perl6. I lived the 3->4 and the 4->5 transitions. When I wanted to try my hand at OOP, I ran screaming from Perl5 to Scheme and eventually Python. 20 years later I'm still programm
