I don't know where you live but round here if you want to raise chickens you gotta first buy some chicken quota (I am serious).

So you are in the hole before a bird lays its first egg.

I mean I can't wait for the paintings in 100 years to be AI generated with the person who wrote the prompt having their snap chat qr Code or tiktok handle in the corner.

They are? When did that happen? For the last 15 years it's been 23 year old 'senior devs'

Farming is only fun if you already have enough money that you don't actually have to farm if you didn't want to.

Otherwise it's hard work for low pay that is very hard to buy yourself into if you weren't born with some land.

It's always going to be razor thin margins because it's a two party System and first past the post.

Anything that doesn't address that problem is just window dressing

Even if (big if) the Dems win this year it's going to be like a 52 to 48 " landslide" . Then they will fix nothing and maybe punish 1 or 2 people but not address the principal cause, in the name of "unity".

Then you get to roll the dice again on 8 years but likely with someone a little more clever than the Dorito bonito.

This is actually a very good example of middle managers in a large organization getting marching orders and seeing which way the wind is blowing.

IBM had a similar thing in the early 2010s when they decided they were all in on "cloud" (about 10 years too late). Every manager saw where things were headed and pivoted whatever their product was to "Cloud" regardless of the suitability.

The higher ups like this too because it lets them put everything under the "cloud" or AI heading on earnings and revenue and makes them look like they are nimble and working on the new hotness, even if it's just someone moving their calculator to a web app or whatever.

He's senile as shit. He probably both wins and loses the war every day.

Maybe that's just his left handed square and the right handed square is out of shot.

Turns out it helps to at least have a coalition of the doesn't give a shit before you start a war you can't win 7000 miles away.

Imagine for a second that you were rewarded for spouting insane bullshit.

Why she does it isn't the question. The question is why does it work. The people who read this are definitely eating paint chips.

America took parts of it and camped out in the cities for 20 years. The rest of it ebbed and flowed depending on the date.
