I think we are heading into very frustrating and dangerous use of software in the future

timedudeon Uncle Bob does not read the code anymore

I feel like we are living at the end of an era.

What do you mean you can't. I do it all the time

timedudeon Who's afraid of Chinese models?

> In China, there is 1 party. 1 view. 1 definition of the Truth.

In usa, the two parties seem to disagree on the surface only. Look deeper and you see one course. For example support for Israhell

Yep, unfortunately they all make their models retarded on purpose.

timedudeon Woman in Brazil enslaved for 55 years by 3 generations of the same family

Try 40% income tax

timedudeon Woman in Brazil enslaved for 55 years by 3 generations of the same family

Isnt taxation evetually more than half of your earnings? Eventually close to 70 or 80 percent. Depending on what plantation you live

timedudeon Woman in Brazil enslaved for 55 years by 3 generations of the same family

I see a lot of comments claiming that slavery was abolished. It was not, we just made the transition to another form of slavery, one where most people think they are free. In reality, they work every day while most of their earnings are taken from them by force every month ('taxation'). The well known slave Frederik Douglas was one of the first examples of this. Douglas made a deal with his master to do whatever he liked as long as he gave his master a cut. The same dynamic is now implemented worldwide. Watch the movie Jones Plantation. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt26964727/
