  • It wasn’t supposed to get done right, or get done at all. He doesn’t care if it sits there, a broken mess in the middle of DC. He’s a slumlord, he’s doesn’t even see that sort of stuff.

    It was all just a standard kickback scheme. He gets his “pool guy” from Maralago to take the contract, keep a couple of mill for himself for his trouble, and the rest goes to Trump. The pool l guy will do some basic work, maybe even get it operating, but it will be shoddy work, with inferior products, every corner cut hard, no permits, no inspections, a couple of bribes, etc. He’ll walk away with a bunch of money, and a nefarious secret he shares with the President, that he can call on when he needs it. .






  • I just saw a video on the first music synthesizer. It was built in 1897, and took up the entire basement of a city-black sized building. It was huge and useless, but it worked. Over the next 75 years, technology improved, until it could fit into a suitcase, and be carried around.

    The concept and the tech existed in its basic form, but it wasn’t really ready for deployment yet.

    I see data centers that way. Technically, they can build it, but it still has too many problems to be truly viable yet. There are too many problems with cost, the environment, the corruption, and that’s before considering the impact on society.

    In 50 years, maybe we’ll have the technology and the public policy to do this right, but right now it seems like we are forcing an inferior system to accommodate something that is too advanced for it. We’re getting way ahead of ourselves.

    It’s like body builder who gets on a bike for the first time, and can’t believe how fast his giant muscles can make that bike move, without realizing how out of control it will be at the same time, or how big the crash will be when it finally arrives.








  • The Proud Boys, 3 Percenters, etc, are the Brownshirts.

    ICE was perfectly positioned to take over as the new SS, but they got a little too froggy a little too fast, and they got shut down. Now it’s doubtful that they’ll be able to ever rise to their previous power.

    Some other government entity will have to become the new SS, but it’s already starting to come apart, and I doubt any agency could rise at this point. Todd Flinstone is trying to weaponize the DoJ, but the judges aren’t buying it, and if any of those cases ever manage to come in front of a jury, we are going to see a major discussion over jury nullification in this country.

    MAGA has peaked, and they are already wilting. The Midterms are still going to a bloodbath, even with MAGA gerrymandering. That will be the Dem’s Normandy Invasion, the point where the MAGA downfall becomes inevitable, even to them. That’s when the fleas will be leaping off the Lame Duck’s ass, and running for cover.
