There are none so blind as those who refuse to see
Alas, there are those who refuse to believe they have been lied to; they are afraid to even consider the idea. And yes, they will eagerly embrace death before even questioning the narrative. Nothing you can do about it
Even if you forced the cure on them, and they were saved from certain death; they would call it a coincidence and hate you for presenting them the evidence
Bingo. Want to get a degree in History, save your money and read a bunch of books at the library.
Want a degree in STEM, then the degree is worth the cost and effort. Just research the area and be prepared for the challenges therein. If you want to write games, know what you are in for. If you want to develop semiconductors, work in aerospace, or medical - know what direction that field is growing and be where the technology is going.
Depending on what the skills are. One of the best engineers I ever worked with, truly a Unicorn - was self-taught. Taught me programming, we did some patent work together. Fred was truly a once in a lifetime intellect, and I'm 40 years into R&D as a career
In STEM, the degree matters, because you are paid well, and before I invest $100+k, the degree means you aren't a quitter, and you have demonstrated that you have "learned to learn", because no degree prepares you for a specific job. In R&D type engineering, you start broad base, and quickly dive into very specific areas of the discipline. The GPA doesn't matter as much, as some say - at least to me. I'm looking for experience and ability to communicate.
Playing well with others is key, integrity is key, brutal honesty - but wisdom in how to present data, how to learn to trust and be trusted. Because getting it wrong, means people will likely die. Degrees matter in some areas.
Meanwhile, nothing a Muslim says, or does (including gang raping your daughters) is considered offensive at all, but if your daughter protests the rape too much, she will be prosecuted MORE than the fecal eating degenerates who raped her.
While handy, I can’t see paying for this. And that is the problem. Anything I were to use AI for will be public domain, so that means it can’t be used for work.
And most everything else, I can look up the data myself with better accuracy
Clearance expire. No biggie
Revoked? Your career is dead. Terminal. You are out and never coming back
Experience? Talk about it and you violate your clearance terms and are subject to prosecution. Can’t emphasize enough how toasted these asshats are.
Having a Security Clearance lapse isn’t a big deal.
Having it REVOKED or SUSPENDED is a career ending event
The Security clearance opens the doors to a host of career choices as a contractor or federal employee. Those doors just slammed shut, bars locked and the locks are fused
Hope she can make coffee
This is necessary.
The immigrants made is required. Pleasing with the government only forced vigilante actions to become violent. Violence is the only language that Muslims understand, so speak it fluent, speak it well, speak it often and speak it even when it’s completely unnecessary
Engineers start at GS-9 then quickly ramp to GS-12 were MOST remain for their careers

Look it up. It’s public domain.
Congressional pay scale doesn’t compare with commercial
But looking at GS payables with your typical engineer at GS-12 (Chemical, Mechanical, Electrical, CompSci, Aerospace etc) commercial pays much better.
But job security is just not good. H1B can replace you at any time
Commercial generally is competitive and 3-5% annual raise, bonuses, stock options and (for engineers generally 10-30% more pay. But RIFs, layoffs, off-shoring are common
Govt jobs offer 3% step increases every year for 1-3; then 2 years between steps from each step 4-6; then 3 year step durations for step 7-10. Then you are stuck unless you can get a promotion
You won’t get rich. But the stability is the sales pitch
Usually Fed Employees forgo typical yearly cost of living adjustments for stability of government employment. For STEM you generally make significantly LESS than industry. Andt STEM employment is unstable. Engineers get cut for multitudes of reasons. I can understand the unexpected feeling of being laid off. Last thing they expected Now they have a background and experience in an area with ZERO commercial viability
You need maneuvering room to do anything. If President Trump says he needs it, he needs it. He hasn’t failed to deliver on anything
Musk has made scores of promises he failed to deliver. How many decades he he promise autopilot before he delivered? Remember the $40k CyberTruck and the 600 mile range? How about a successful Starship mission before we cancel Artemis?
One doth protest too much
You can charge whatever you want for your autograph
Pity the idiot who pays it
Any random person can forge an autograph, and nobody will know the difference. If it’s not done on a legal or financial document; then it’s “art”
I love bacon Should be incorporated into the National Anthem
God Save the Queen, and make a rasher of bacon
