  • This article misses the point. The reason there are no good billionaires isn’t that they change their politics and morality to whatever drives profits. It’s because they have amassed more wealth than they can ever possibly need, while others suffer and die who could be saved by that wealth. If you have billions of dollars that you could have given to the needy and instead you’re sitting on your hoard like a fucking dragon, you have failed morally. tldr: billionaires are dragons and we need more dragonslayers




  • I’m going to buck the trend here and advise the more conservative position. I took a developer job in the insurance industry right out of college, and I have no regrets. The work is rarely exciting, but it’s stable and not very demanding. I have great work life balance. And developer jobs in non tech related industries seem to be largely immune to the upheavals and layoffs currently affecting the tech world.






  • I disagree with most of your points, but damned if you’re not right about that. The DNC shares a lot of blame for inflicting Trump on us, after straight up rigging the 2016 primaries against Bernie. Of course the Republicans also just rolled over and let him drive their entire party off the alt right cliff, so maybe the lesson is that all politicians are weasels.

    That said, if the choice is between a corrupt and spineless weasel and a rabid hyena intent of tearing the country down around his ears, I’ll pick the one that’s less likely to bit my face off.
