Goddamn, been working since the late 90’s. Never figured my social security would pay out so I’ve been diligently following the path I have available. Seems like that is in the process of being stolen now too.

30 years planning for my future, looks gone now.

it’s already done for, the us government that is. I don’t believe we can come back from this, it’s calvinball from here on. rules don’t apply anymore, it’s just vibes and whims of a ketamine fueled nazi and his geriatric anger sycophant.

My most recent job hunt has me thinking the same. I used to be a dime a dozen, and young folks were real and serious competition in the job market, but I’ve been in IT since before the .com crash and now my skills are once again becoming unique.

I’ve been raising my kids, warning them about the shit state of IT. Maybe I should have been nerding them harder.

Don’t forget, his own wife is a dei import, dude can’t find himself a good American woman so he’s got to outsource. Irony is dead.

I just got a job with an EU company, doing business through acquisition in the US. I don’t report to anyone in my office, or even this country. I’m building the US infrastructure based on the designs coming from the EU and integrating with their cloud.

Was an intentional move to get employed by a non-us based employer, but so far I think I really lucked out.

This will 1000% lead to some horrible bullshit when fsd inevitably plows into something it failed to see and a subsequent lawsuit against the victim…

Ok, this is what social media is for. Thanks everyone, so much good stuff in here. Glad I have similarly esoteric tastes..

Very limited so far. I don’t have much near me but there has been enough sproradic connectivity that I pick up the occasional chatter in the default channel and have about 145 nodes it’s aware of.

Mostly been my son and I playing around. He wants to get his neighborhood friends involved :).
