Probably applies to most of the private sector, too. A startup company only dealing with “social media” can afford to have failure, at least in the early days…but adults doing adult things where “breaking things” has real consequences, including lives…not so much.

But a whole lot of ding-a-lings think government should be run like a business, and if the stupid notion of “moving fast and breaking things” has infected a lot of the private sector, it’s going to have knock-on effects when people try to apply the notion that the President should be just like a CEO at a large multinational corporation. A lot of stupid ideas originate with trying to run government like a business and/or like a household budget.

Twitter servers were a benchmark in global performance up until he started fucking around with them. They were included on latency tests. The second he touched them latency tripled. Never went back down. He turned Twitter from a tech company leader into a social propaganda network worth a fraction of itself.

Maybe some retired veterans with nice coin collections would like to meet up with him and show him how their coins work.

A fitting end, cane-whipped and run over by multiple mobility scooters.

I’m so sorry this is happening to you and to anyone else. It’s so deeply fucked.

Here it comes. Let’s see if our country will see the error of its ways (highly doubtful…).

I’m in a similar boat as you.

Got my routine 6-7 year CDR packet in the mail… took me 2 weeks of off and on trying to access the site last month to input and submit all the information digitally … as sending it through snail mail would probably be too slow (10 ish days), I don’t have a car and am mobility challeneged.

Now I’m trying to call my local office to make sure they actually got everything but uh wow big surprise, that ain’t going well either.

… At least I did get my payment direct deposited.
