...should DOGE be yelling at the 80 year old computer programmers? They're prolly the only folks in the entire government literate in Fortran (and other programming-language equivalents to cuneiform). I.e. the programming languages all our critical nuclear programs and Cold War-era defense sh!t are written in.
Don't worry in this interview:
New Treasury Secretary Bessent just smashes female reporter with FACTS and LOGIC.

Here's a tip to liberal media, stop sending women to interview men, you will not win, we are tired of your concern trolling.
Scott Bessent mentions he learned COBOL in the 1980s. The DOGE zoomers can have the old faggot show them how to program in ALL CAPS AND A STRICT 80 COLUMN LIMIT, LIKE GOD MEANT IT TO BE.

Old programming languages aren't really that hard to learn. Autists learn obsolete videogame assembly languages for fun. Give them an incentive and they'll be fine.
 
ATTENTION DOOMERS:

You are retarded. Your accounts have been marked. You will be deported. No, I don’t care if you’re a U.S. citizen. You are still going into the crystal.
We need to bring back the crystal memes. Sadly, with Vivek kicked, we've lost our Morrowind connection.

Since were huffing copium, I'm going to cross my fingers and hope Trump allows manufactuers to make simpler cars that dont need tons of electronics. I want a simple little truck with no bells or whistles.
Order the Sec of Transport to reduce the CAFE standards on light trucks, and finally end the Chicken Tax so we can start importing light trucks from Asia. That will spur competition and force Ford and Chevy to start making their own light trucks again. Especially if Trump can get fuel prices to drop over the next few years.

Light trucks never had great fuel economy, but they last forever and were far cheaper than a full-sized pickup. If you don't have to buy a new truck every 5-10 years, who cares if it gets slightly worse gas mileage, you still end up money ahead.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: start the old pre-2011 Ranger assembly lines back up and I'll be at my Ford dealership the day they arrive. No AC, no power windows, no power locks, and the 5-speed manual.

Exploring https://www.usaspending.gov/search for some more details specifically on the journalists that have been getting taxpayer dollars. Please add or critique as I'm not sure on everything I'm seeing here.

To start, I did see this:
The 2025 foreign aid budget included $268,376,000 allocated by Congress to support “independent media and the free flow of information.”

They're zoomers that work for Elon. They probably think the 80 year old boomer is useless because Grok can shit out boomer language code for them
 
Yeah, but try telling that to that uppity fucker Alexander the Great. Goddamned whippersnappers.

To the point, Alexander was a good battlefield commander (guys in their twenties are good at fighting and sports) and a terrible politician. His empire collapsed immediately while those built by men with a deeper understanding of politics than "killing people who don't like me means I get obeyed" tended to last at least a century or so.

They were still teaching COBOL in a local college in the late 2000's. So right now the youngest COBOL users are in their mid-to-late-30's. We've got at least 25 years before they're all retired.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: start the old pre-2011 Ranger assembly lines back up and I'll be at my Ford dealership the day they arrive.
I regret not buying more of them when I was younger. My cousin bought two brand new in 2011, and both are still working without issue today. Aside from replacing an alternator, there's been no mechanical problems. He still gets offers for them from random strangers whenever he goes shopping.
 
reddit admins use the unmoderated excuse when they want to disappear subreddits that go against the programming or are making reddit look bad
It was a bunch of liberals gooning to and sexually fetishishing the murdering of unborn children. So definitely not against the programming, but perhaps not the best optics.

Edit: added more effort, cause when ever I remember this, it sticks with me for a while.

The insightful topics

Their moderation.

And yes, they love Satan.

You think you hate reddit enough, you don't. You will never hate reddit enough. These people are evil, pure abject evil, not even one gray speck to them.

IDK why people like this guy. His claim to fame is dressing like a college student in Congress and he has literal brain damage. If you watch the Joe Rogan interview you can tell he is just smart enough to follow the party line with how quickly he starts dancing around topics like illegal immigration.
The brain damage makes him an ideal Democrat.
