I looked at some examples and couldn't tell the difference.

Democrats were in power and the media said nothing.

This has led to administration bloat and majors that are completely useless when you graduate. Federal loans should be eliminated and universities should back the loans themselves.

I did this in 2008, an arguably equally bad economy as our current one, and created a business that was my sole income for a decade.

This doesn't make any sense cost-wise. It would be cheaper to just hire a security engineer.

Powerful countries like China are also putting everything into AI, so this should be the current focus of the US. We should be focusing on Nuclear. The sad part is that if the environmental activists of the 60s->90s hadn't pushed so hard against Nuclear and gotten legislation in place to essentially make it impossible to innovate, we wouldn't even need renewable energy today.

"If the billionaires and the centimillionaires of the world were conducting our economy, investing the money in a way that brings us to a fantastic future with planetary habitability, rising wages and better housing conditions and health conditions for all, then everybody would be happy to give them the keys. But that’s not what we see."

The alternative proposed is the government take all of the money and equally distribute it. This solution always ends up with worse outcomes. With what's happening with the EU with complete censorship and in the UK with people going to jail for expressing their freedom of speech, we need less government involvement in our lives and not more.

The government is never held accountable for spending our money and in most cases, it goes into a pit/slush fund that is hidden from the public.

The problem is that it sounds like many people are just using it for everything.

Maybe this is a good thing.

I've been working remotely for 20 years now, and most people just can't handle it and are either distracted, slacking off, or just not working.

I've seen lots of people fired over it, and ruined it for everyone.

I'm a consultant now and no longer have to hope and dream that my employer will let me work remotely. It's in my contract.

In the late 90s and early 2000s, he was Hitler to the tech community. Slashdot even had a Borg image with his face on it.

He somehow made his image better, when he publicly supported liberal causes like stopping climate change.

People don't change, and it was so obvious he still a scummy asshole.

I was a developer for 20 years, before I pivoted to cybersecurity. My hobby projects were always more complex than the software I wrote at my day job.

The majority of software developers are writing some type of CRUD code or glue code for business processes. A small minority are writing complex code at big tech companies.

AI will most likely replace the need for many software developers.
