I’d advise everyone in government to say “nothing”. In other words, They did nothing.



I think you hit the nail on the head. The majority of them have done almost nothing their whole career.

Appeal

'Few people realize how worthwhile those labors can be: Up to three-quarters of claim appeals are granted, studies show.'

Oh my God, the lefties are going to be crapping barbed wire tomorrow. Trump just appointed Dan Bongino as deputy director of the FBI. Holy crap. A former New York City Cop for 4 years and a secret service veteran for 12 years bongino is extremely qualified for the job. On top of that he's been hearing inside information for years about what's going on in the FBI so he knows exactly where to look to clean it up and clean it out. He also has the most popular podcast in the country which he's giving up while he serves as deputy director of the FBI. The left-wing press is going nuts over this tomorrow wait and see. As I keep saying they should never have screwed with Trump. Never try to screw somebody who can screw you back 10 times worse and that's exactly what he's going to do. Trump holds a grudge like nobody holds a grudge. He never forgets who screwed him.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

Yeah, he pretty much belongs in prison along with the rest of the convicts.

One of the things I read this morning, is the US secretly signed a deal with the Sinola Cartel to keep the borders open.

There was an associated pic with Pelosi and Beto.

Maybe Bongino can find the docs so I won't have to look.


Patel's likely too busy with his list of 100 persons he wrote about in his recent book.

I viewed the list yesterday and wasn't impressed.


It seems to me they need to go after the higher hanging fruit, like private email servers of government employees, forged birth certificate documents of Kenyans, stolen elections for racists, generals calling China without permission, etc.


There are likely Statute of Limitations in play, but criminals always commit crime (less a few), so just catch the last one they did.

The future of software development is undergoing a fundamental shift. Mark Zuckerberg has made a bold statement: in 2025, Meta will extensively utilize artificial intelligence (AI) for coding, significantly reducing the role of human programmers.

My younger son is a computer programmer. A month or so back I asked him if he could be replaced by AI in some fashion. He confidently told me that there is no chance of that. Since I can’t figure out what he actually does at work, I am hopeful he has the proper insight and is correct. I of course am not so sure. When I asked him (a few years ago) what his company could possibly need him for for 40 hours a week, he answered that he’s one of five computer programmers that work 40 hours a week there….

It will only be the lowest tier of computer programmers that will be replaced by A.I. It takes programmers to program the A.I. so there will always be a need for some.

I defer to your experience, but isn't there already programs programing programs for Ai?

Anyway, I think it will still be a while" before jobs hit the "traffic Light stage". Where a thing does a job for humans uncontrolled by humans day after day until it breaks.

*by a while, I mean 6 months at least
