This should surprise no one. The fake “doge” thing was run like a smash-and-grab more than anything serious.
Say, weren’t they going to rewrite all their systems in a matter of months? How is that going?
Don’t get me wrong, Second System effect and the usual attendant idiocy is rampant in the private sector but doing something like a massive rewrite from Cobol -> Java using AI, all while trying to chase off all the real talent that knows how it all works, and saying you’ll do it in “months”, for a public system that millions rely on for survival, seems like top-tier idiocy.
And that is saying a lot. The IT world is FILLED with arrogant douchebags who think they know it all and itch to do rewrites because “new tech”. And in this case, Java probably isn’t nearly “new” or “cool” enough to satisfy the next batch of teenage clueless dumbfucks given a license to do whatever they want by idiots with more ego than sense. “We have to rewrite all this in Zig because it’s what the Chadcoder says is nextgen on his Youtube channel!!!”
kinda buried the lede there into body quote but thank you for adding it
the “overturning election results” part
Holy shit. This is just the tip of the iceberg, but I fully believe they have done the worst possible things to maintain power. I believe they would murder, rape, cheat, and steal their way to maintain their positions.
The Election Truth Alliance has some allegations and a lawsuit in PA that Musk actually cheated and manipulated the tabulation machines. It should be taken with a grain of salt, but I fully believe they would do it. They have the means and the motives.
Also, fuck this SCOTUS. They will go down in history as the most illegitimate corrupt members in the entire 250 years of America. Alito, Thomas, Barret, and Kavanaugh, specifically, need to face justice for their corruption.
Why should it be taken with a grain of salt?
I’m an experienced data scientist and have tangentially looked into and debated with others about ETA’s claims. Some of it is fine, but a lot of it is kinda weak. I actually went back and forth in a technical discussion with the guy who wrote this rebuttal to ETA’s claims: https://sullivan.zip/clark-county-election-analysis/
Ultimately, I concluded that a lot of ETA’s methods are reaching, but I still fully want a paper recount to put the issue to bed, and because of a ton reasons related to means, motives, and opportunities from the MAGA camp.
Well, sure! I mean, who/what’s gonna stop them? Seems all of the supposed ‘guardrails’ were bullshit…
Everything that was supposed to protect us failed. There are no grownups in the room. Laws don’t mean some magical judge is going to come save us. And I’m Canadian. I say us because this is the whole world’s problem
You and I
They should have to pay us.
