The Trump Administration: The Clusterfuck Continues

It’d be almost like printing Wikipedia, only with more errors. Agile errors, I guess they’ll call them.

As I (kindasorta) referred to in another thread, one key to getting it done fast would be to forego testing the output from the new system — created, no doubt, by pushing code generated by AI.X straight to production — against the current output. I mean, they’re different systems, so you can’t expect the same results, amirite?

Oh my god yes. There will be so many moving pieces.

I think these billionaires think - “Why are we giving 10’s of thousands of people 3k a month. That’s not even pocket change, they should just use their American Express card and have their accountants deal with it”

I believe it’s the above, and not understanding or having the first clue what it’s like to wonder where your next meal is coming from.

And also, they want to enrich themselves? Billionaires want to screw the little people to get more money? They have NO concept of what the word enough means.

Good god, man! You have found the ideal solution!

And don’t bother to examine or try to remediate the (doubtless innumerable) kludges, hacks and workarounds that have crept into the existing code over the decades. Just have AI.X read the COBOL and do a line-for-line translation to Python or whatever. What could go wrong?

It’s never enough if someone has more billions than you. To them it’s a ranking, not money.

Optimist. There will be zero moving parts. These idiots will bring the entire thing to a screeching halt.

Yeah, dick waving. Someone has a 300 foot yacht so they must have a 400 footer.

You are correct.

But I donno. Trump thinks that SS could just be put in a spread sheet. He is that dumb. “Just put it on one of those floppy disk things”

In case you missed this:

Trump Boasts That His Son Barron Can Turn on a Laptop Even When It Is Completely Turned Off

In a sit-down interview with Fox News personality Laura Ingraham in the Oval Office, the second-time president bragged that his youngest son may have a future in tech because, apparently, the 19-year-old college freshman knows how to turn his laptop on.

When Ingraham asked the president if Barron shows more of a propensity for business or politics — a valid question, considering he’s currently enrolled New York University’s Stern School of Business — the elder Trump responded “maybe technology.”

“He can look at a computer…” Trump responded, trailing off. “I turn off his laptop, I said, ‘Oh good,’ and I go back five minutes later, he’s got his laptop, I say, ‘How do you do that?’ ‘None of your business, dad.’”

Donald Trump on his son Barron: “He can look at a computer… I turn off his laptop, I said, ‘Oh good,’ and I go back about five minutes later, he’s got his laptop, I say, ‘How do you do that?’.. He’s got an unbelievable aptitude in technology.":clown_face: pic.twitter.com/YSsM6EJU1J

Watch, Trump will tell Elon that he should hire Barron to fix SSA code.

But, but, but… his laptop!?! :face_with_peeking_eye:

Worst Brag By A Father On Their Child Ever.

If I hadn’t seen the video of that one …

“MOM?!? Can we move to Slovenia now!?!”

–Barron (at least, in my imagination)

Yeah. I expect they’ll destroy the whole thing beyond repair, and people will be starving in the streets. To Trump and company, a desirable outcome.

And if people complain too much? That’s what cops and machine guns are for. After the first few thousand dead people will know better than to protest.

Would you kindly shut the fuck up about your doomsday prophecies and stop dragging these fantasies of yours into every single Trump-adjacent thread, you paranoid lunatic?

It’s constantly the same thing out of you every single day. Nuclear war this, genocide that, thousands of people being murdered on sight by bloodthirsty soldiers who only live to kill. You’ve been at it for seven years and it honestly sounds like you’re DISAPPOINTED that it hasn’t happened yet.

I’m sure they are tying to figure out how to steal that Sweet SS money. But if they can’t, oh well, let them eat dirt. We’ll just destroy it.

You’d almost think people were being dragged off the street by masked thugs just for criticizing Trump or being shipped off to foreign prison camps without due process oh wait…

What does that have to do with Der_Trihs’ fantasies about nukes and genocide?

Nuclear war? Nothing. Protesters getting shot in the streets? Quite a lot. I mean, it was happening to a lesser extent in his last administration, and suppression of criticism is much further advanced already.

When Trump has several thousand people summarily executed in the street all at once for protesting, like he’s been predicting since 2017, he’ll have a point.

Until that happens he can fuck the right off.

When I first saw that, I thought, “Someone should really tell them about Phoenix!”

By July 2018, Phoenix has caused pay problems to close to 80 percent of the federal government’s 290,000 public servants through underpayments, over-payments, and non-payments.

So, you’ve probably got that to look forward to!
