Haha. Change the voice mail, retards. Made me chuckle. 110% on the taxes.
Just tired of the BS man
agreed. the utter incompetence is horrendous. This is who we have representing us?
NO ONE REPRESENTS US! Think about your local Political State Representatives. If you ask them questions that they don't like, they ignore you. Aren't they supposed to represent EVERYONE regardless of political affiliation or belief? If not, who are they truly representing?
I don't know how it is in other states right now, but in New York, if taxpayer money is involved, it is either spent incompetently, or corruptly, and probably both.
People are tired of their taxes going to foreign countries, but no one wants to assemble for a tax strike. smh
This all ends when we stop funding our own destruction
People will riot for sportsball (mind you the players are compensated VERY VERY well), but the people will never riot for actual thievery of their talents and time. Go figure. We argue about shitty hundreds/thousands of dollars while the elite argue about billions/trillions of dollars. What a fucking joke.
The one thing people do freely without representation
Hear hear! I've been with you from the first
Does there need to be an assembly? Just stop paying.
Twenty-something year old campaign staffers probably don't know their way around technology.
(I've noticed a growing trend where younger generations are clueless about technology, which was a surprise for me to hear, I thought the youths were the most technologically savvy, apparently not.)
They are technologically savvy in using the technology, but not in running it. They have reached a point where they can't function without the technology. It will be pretty funny when they have to deal with massive power outages and they live in "smart" houses.
Everyone tells me how different I am when I exclaim to them how it is that they are so clueless?
I built a few computers in my day, fixed things, cars, house shit, dating back to when I was a young teenager. Am I that much different, god forbid I had an interest in interesting things I suppose? I learned to solder wire when I was around 13 I believe, but I wasn't the type of nerd to do anything with a circuit board.
I was surprised that kids (shit, I'm saying KIDS are late teens, early twenties ADULTS!) don't know about updates or settings on Windows, yet they use tables and phones since they're single digits old. WTF? I used computers since Kindergarten, yes - maybe that's the difference, they are only savvy with staring at text and videos? That's not what I initially expected.
I think those of us in our 60's are in the "sweet spot" when it comes to technology, because we were in school/college when the digital age blossomed. We were using the earliest home computers, and many of us learned to do basic programming in either Basic or Fortran (and maybe COBAL for business majors :) ). I remember a classmate in junior high, in the early 70's, who was big into electronics; I've wondered what happened to him all these decades later; someone in that field back then would have had such potential and possibilities!)
Didn't you have PUNCH CARDS? That may have seemed technologically advanced for you in the early/mid 1970s but that is hardly what you deal with these days.
Yes! You had to feed a stack of the punch cards, you had typed, into the machine to read them. If you had a SINGLE typo, it would kill it, and of course, if you accidently dropped them and they got out of order, you were pretty screwed. A lot, perhaps most, people would use a felt tip marker to make an "X" on the edge of the stack, so if you did drop them, you could fairly easily get them back in order. Of course, that wouldn't help if you typed a "0" for an "O", or some other typo :) Later, you had the luxury of a cassette tape to store a program on :) My first computer was a Commodor 64, with the 64 meaning 64 kilobytes of memory! When my wife and I bought our first home computer in the late '80s, it had a whopping 1 MB of memory :) We later bought an additional MB for it for about $100.
Yes, we had 3 Commodores.
By the way - you know what happened to your friend/classmate interested in electronics? I have a feeling his career was snatched by some foreigner in Asia.
I don't know, but perhaps I'll find out when my 50th high school reunion comes up in a couple of years. :)
