  • Something that comes out after guys like Trump have been in power is the voter regret. When asked why they voted for him they usually say the same 2 things: Either he was the only one talking about stuff the voter cared about, or they figured he would “shake things up” and/or change things. Note in that last part, the voter doesn’t really care what’s going to change or how it will happen, they’re just sick of the status quo.

    All of this is to say that yes people are stupid, but that also holds true the politicians who’ve been pedaling the status quo, or minimal change, for generations and ignoring the growing anger of people who’ll eventually vote for craziness in the name of “change.”














    • Doesn’t show password requirements until after first attempt is rejected
    • Password expiration w/o any alert
    • Arbitrary password length requirements (specifically max length)
    • Arbitrary character requirements (particularly disallowing or only allowing a certain subset of special characters)
    • Only offering SMS as “2FA”
    • Using email “2FA” on every. Login. Attempt. And offering no real 2FA alternative.

    All of these are reasons I will look to move my business to a competitor.


  • Clearly, the Trump administration is trying to repair that damage.

    … that THEY caused! This is the problem with repairing any damage. It’s all damage they created against the recommendations of every expert along the way who told them that exactly what’s happening would happen. The ineptitude and arrogance of this administration is why investors are leaving. George W Bush was an idiot, but even he knew better than to fuck with what Trump’s fucking with. If I were an investor, foreign or not, the US would be a considered complete gamble until this guy and his whole cult of personality are excised from any positions of power.
