America would burn if he tried to draft people to invade Canada

We enter hostile takeover territory around $115

I mean he is going to do that, and the recovery won't come to those places because they're already economic dead ends. We need to focus on getting people who aren't MAGA out and let them rot in the misery they bring in themselves. History is full of ghost towns, we're just going to see some more that's all. The rest of America will be able to recover and ditch these nonsense people and their broken politics

A lot of those places are too far gone. We need to take away their economic power so that they can't hurt the rest of them as much. 1/3 of this country is just gone and we need to realize we need to leave them behind and save the people who live next to them aren't total pieces of shit

TIL that makes sense

I feel like for construction vehicles like this you could have a design where the battery is external to the device you use some sort of adapted fast charger designed to power the individual a piece of equipment, you can also have the battery stationary thing that doesn't have to be lithium ion because portability is less of a concern, the device doesn't have to haul its own battery on its treads, you could also power it off of the grid if you're doing an urban Construction

Old enough to collect benefits themselves

If these people are good enough to redo federal codebases I should apply for a coding job already

I honestly think of that single board computers should be more common part of education. That's what the Raspberry Pi was originally envisioned as, a very cheap thing you could equip a whole classroom with to teach them coding, inspired by the BBC micro or whatever it was called that they had back in the '80s. A good way to get people over that fear is to give them something small they basically can't break and even if they do mess it up they can easily restored and they probably didn't lose much of value anyways.

Computers were definitely way less popular, and if you are an office worker you not only had the Baseline level of Education of an office worker but you probably received Technical training, and there was probably an IT department who could help. You might have also only know in just the things you specifically need for your job

You're not really wrong, but at the same time having technical knowledge is essential to getting us out of the tech dystopia big corporations have us trapped in, and a lot more computer knowledge would not only help people be more productive but it would help them make better choices about the stuff they use. One would assume that as computer technology only becomes more essential to our lives that interest in the technical side would follow, and it doesn't seem to have been the case as much as we are expecting. I mean your average Generation Z person understands that you have to connect your computer to the internet to use the web browser and they're capable of turning the device on but there doesn't seem to be an easy on-ramp from the basic knowledge of how to operate the thing to more advanced topics. I wouldn't even say I'm all that good and I did half a computer science degree

I feel like a lot more people be comfortable using the terminal if the text displayed when it was first opened gave you a list of commands to try. There is a very steep initial learning curve immediately which discourages experimentation, and I think that with a little bit of effort you could get a lot of people over that hump and then they could enjoy terminal Bliss.
