Woke "Engineers"

The feds are trying to push the "Rust" language for systems programming. The "Rust" language is infested with woke lefty retards. It's not such a surprise that tech has gotten completely infested with fags and women in its "power structure" because the typical engineer goes along to get along, and will just walk away rather than get involved in some mud wrestling match with dopes. The institutions, like corporations and standards bodies, etc... don't really matter much. It would be nice if they "functioned", but when they become dysfunctional the actual productive people will just move on and do something else.

Trump Tariffs and Ozempic

I saw a few different headlines about Trump's tariff plans. It sounds stupid and lazy and will backfire. The idea is that the US can bring manufacturing back onshore via a couple simple policies, like high tariffs, even though the present US position is the result of decades of laws, corporate action, educational choices of millions of people, etc...

Can the US outcompete China? Probably, but it would be a huge effort, and nobody wants to make that effort because people are dumb and lazy and corporations are greedy and lazy. It reminds me of "ozempic", which is a diabetes drug, but can also be used as a weight loss drug--but it has horrible side effects and doesn't actually make a person healthy. It's not going to increase VO2 max, or muscle mass or anything salutary, plus it has potentially horrible and deadly side effects.

Gen Z -- Why Get a Job?

 

The average starting salary for Gen Z is only $42,000! What the fuck?! That's around what I made at my first job out of college when the first season of Walker, Texas Ranger was on the air. $42,000 today was the equivalent of $21,000 back then. I had college temp jobs where I made the equivalent of $21,000 doing trivial, easy tasks. A salary of $42,000 now in many areas of the US is poverty wages. It'd be impossible to even rent an apartment in major metro areas with that kind of income. You'd have to be insane to throw away 40 hours a week, 50 weeks a year for that kind of money.
