Amen to that, and the stunning level of ignorance and stupidity among those handing down those mandates. It's like watching a train wreck in slow motion.I dislike government regulations even more, given the level of corruption and money to be made by various mandates.
Yeah, and you're ON the train!. It's like watching a train wreck in slow motion.
Stupidity is very much the right word. I understand that people that seek elective office are going to tend toward a degree of greed and power hunger. But it amazes me how fundamentally stupid so many of our elective officials are -- as well as the people around them. Like one of the former senators from my state that literally thought that 3/5 was more than 2/3 and went on a multistate talk-show tour touting how his bill, which required a 3/5 majority vote to raise taxes, was much stronger than the opposition's bill that only required a 2/3 majority. It wasn't a slip, either. He stated it several times and, later, I looked up both bills and he was stating the requirements of each bill correctly. Yet neither he nor anyone on his staff (nor any of the talk show hosts he had already been on the air with) spotted the problem when they put together his talking points. I called in and first asked if I was correct in my understanding of the numbers, and he confirmed that I was. I then asked if he was claiming that it would be harder to raise taxes under his bill because it would be harder to get the 3/5 majority than it would be to get a 2/3 majority, and he said it would. Then, when I said, "Even though 3/5 is 60% and 2/3 is basically 67%?", he just stammered and said, "The point is that it would be very difficult to raise taxes under my bill."Amen to that, and the stunning level of ignorance and stupidity among those handing down those mandates. It's like watching a train wreck in slow motion.
Let us know if you find one.Welcome to All About Politics. Hope to find a technical forum some day soon.
Yeah, thanks for clearing that up. I stay confused on that subject. At least have the good form to split the politics from the technical discussion. It's indescribably awesome to have a discussion about technology without all the compulsory political BS.That's what moderators are for.
Actually I have. The ASIC, FPGA, Soc forum on Linked In has wonderful technical discussions berefit of politics.Let us know if you find one.
May I suggest one of the other sections of AAC? We have Chat, Projects, and about 7 other forums that stay on subject almost all the time.At least have the good form to split the politics from the technical discussion. It's indescribably awesome to have a discussion about technology without all the compulsory political BS.
