One man to rule them all,
One man to fire them,
One man to replace them all,
And in their misery bind them!.............

You have to hand it to Musk, he spent a ton of money just so we can say controversial things like “men can’t get pregnant” again.

Is that box a trade up or down for a Kinko box to carry out your personal belongings?

I worked in an office across the street from Arthur Andersen's main office in Chicago when they closed their doors. A group of us watched from a 7th floor window as many of them walked out for the last time carrying boxes.

I remember feeling sad that so many people were losing their jobs when they had no part in the troubles that caused that firm's downfall. Then it occurred to me that you can't tell which ones were innocent and which ones were involved, or even how many knew about what was going on and did or said nothing.

That made me feel better.

I know that with their qualifications they should have no trouble finding a top flight job in either the food service or house keeping industries.

That’s what I wondered. Data is data. It doesn’t need to be engineered. Data can be collected, catalogued, massaged, manipulated, interpreted etc. But if you engineer it... well, then it’s fake.

What the heck is a "data engineer"? It's another name for censor.

From the Cambridge Dicionary:

censor: a person responsible for examining books, movies, works of art, or communications, and deciding whether to prevent parts or the whole of them from being seen or made available to the public because they are considered to be offensive or harmful, or because they contain information that someone wishes to keep secret, often for political reasons.

lolz.

I bet a fraction of IT or tech people are first. Mostly it will be the censorship policy police, and useless to harmful folks like that.

I am sure they will just jump ship over to Google or one of their owned woke companies, like Youtube.
