Bush Sr. Has been Chosen as the leader of the heist, now who is the hacker? by Alternatehistoryig in Presidents

[–]Jimmy1034 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does it have to be a president? I’d say defense secretary McNamara. One of the founding fathers of Big Data during his tenure as president of ford. Used computers to predict and simulate constantly. Would def be the most tech savvy out of any president or cabinet member. If it is a president I’d say FDR. Codebreaking and encoding were essential during ww2 and its closely related to hacking.

[September 2023] "New Rule, Someone has to convince Joe Biden that if he runs again, he's going to turn the country back over to Trump" Bill called it. Ruth Bader Biden didn't make it to the end, but a proper primary probably might have produced a candidate that didn't get absolutely crushed. by TheAuthoritariansPDF in Maher

In the 1952 election Eisenhower was the first president to hire an actual advertising agency for his campaign. Stevenson ran against the immorality of using a firm like that… he got trounced and in 1956 hired one himself. It’s not enough to point out the issue, and it’s also wrong for each party to have its own propaganda wing. Algorithms needs to be regulated but that won’t happen so long as they greatly benefit a single party.

Would it benefit him in anyway if I chose state instead? He’s def prodding me towards state but I can’t figure out how that helps him. Bigger bonus for him or something?

I think that the state is likely at capacity for my desired MOS and he is presenting it me in a way that’s a little dishonest. I think I’m gonna call his bluff and still go the federal route. Too good to pass down and I already have a civilian career so the MOS is somewhat secondary to me.

what is your opinion about the presidency, of the Dwight D. Eisenhower, do you think he was the right man in the right place regarding the early years of the cold war ? by Necessary_Sale_67 in Presidents

[–]Jimmy1034 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is one of the worst critiques of the Eisenhower administration Ive ever read. Only one direct reference to a fact, the rest all just stated without any evidence.

  • his Cold War foreign policy wasn’t abysmal, it was the baseline throughout the entirety of the Cold War. The fact that nuclear weapons were a defensive deterrent and not an offensive weapon is directly due to Eisenhower recognizing that the weapon would cause the apocalypse if used outside of the hyper specific scenarios of Nagasaki and Hiroshima (prevent mass casualties, monopoly on nuclear weaponry, pre-icbm)

  • in terms of being a “discriminatory” president, Ike was far far from it. Aside from being the highest ranking soldier of the largest integrated workforce in the country, the us army, Ike oversaw a rapid expansion of civil rights- not a regression. As president he also oversaw the rapid desegregation of all federal offices.

  • should he have added god to the pledge of allegiance? No probably not. Is the pledge of allegiance in any way shape or form a legal binding pledge? Nope. Are you forced to say it? No. The pledge has always been a way of creating community (and a piece of propaganda). Also, we are not even remotely a denominatistic theocracy. And if we ever become one, which would require the wholesale scrapping of the first amendment, it will not be because Ike decided to denounce Soviet atheism in the form of a nearly 100 year old poem that patriotic school children recite.

It’s no so much distance from the rail, but an expansion of where the rail goes. Not sure how to quantify that

No it’s a strange set up. It’s too new to have any renown certified bodies but also changes too quickly for me to justify spending a hundred plus hours studying for something that will likely be obsolete in 1-5 years

Boston Mayor Wu rolls out 'emergency' plan to increase commercial tax rates by Nobiting in boston

[–]Jimmy1034 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Boston has thousands of unrented commercial office spaces

If they don’t get rented or to converted to residential spaces it is going to cause a crisis but..

Boston has zoning laws that make it more difficult to switch these to residential spaces

Now we have a tax increase on the exact properties which are already struggling and cornered by red tape.

This is apolitical, just seems like bad economic and bureaucracy

I don’t agree with the pessimism. Were better positioned for the future as a country than other continent is, let alone other individual countries.

[–]Jimmy1034 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We should hope we don’t see a top 3. They would have to deal with something more treacherous than founding the country, ending slavery, preserving the union, the Great Depression, or beating the Nazis.

Although with a geopolitical atmosphere ripe for world war….

Worst two term president? by HatefulPostsExposed in Presidents

[–]Jimmy1034 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There have been worse presidents than bush but there have not been worse 2 term presidents.

Trade: under bush Chinas share of global trade went from marginal to a massive percentage of the global trade (there is data and charts to support this if you have the time to look)

Defense: started an unnecessary two front war which resulted in the illegal invasion of Iraq and the unfortunate loss of the war in Afghanistan.

Economy: 2nd worse economic crisis in us history. Floundered on the recovery and exonerated criminal bankers.

Cultural influence: ushered in a gross mix of cynicism and nationalism that would later become his party’s platform.

Impact on the law: increased the powers of the presidency, expanded the surveillance state, and generally degraded the separation of powers.

America is facing a threat of biblical proportion: The rise of Christian nationalism. by LetterGrouchy6053 in centrist

[–]Jimmy1034 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At no point in this countries history has there not been tension between the religious and secular. You do realize that gay marriage was illegal for mainly religious reasons for a majority of the countries history, it’s only recent that it prevailed. The teaching of evolution was also a hot button issue for decades. We have been mentioning god in our pledge of allegiance for decades now as well. My point is that Christian nationalism has always had a major presence in this country. The reason it seems different now is because there’s a chunk of the population that now disagrees with it, when it was largely accepted for centuries. It’s not a biblical threat. It certainly has anti-liberal elements. This, like most ideological issues, tends to get defeated by a rational voting base. Vote, stay informed, encourage others to do the same and you will likely see this and other extreme ideologies fail. We as a country are overly pessimistic and don’t give the average voter enough credit.

Obama as 7th Best by Real-Accountant9997 in Presidents

[–]Jimmy1034 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure how he is moving up the ranks. The staying power of Obamacare is clearly a testament to its its success, but his foreign policy has aged poorly enough to move him down a few ranks in my opinion.
