I wish I could be as optimistic as you, it will only embolden them I fear. The media will cover and orgasm over the progress they made and how we're living in a sunshine and daisies utopia.
Media coverups aren't going to help when larger and larger numbers of people are jobless and destitute. At a certain point, state propaganda simply can't hide reality. This is the problem that Communist states ran into.
I inferred from Rush Limbaugh that he's confident of the same; he doesn't know when, but the Dems "blow it" every time and it will happen again.
I believe it, too. When Obama became president, the Dems owned all the branches of government. Then when it seemed like they would reign for another forty years, they lost them (though in fairness there were a lot of RINO's around so it was more of a "lost on paper"). And they may have been cheating even back then, too.
The Irony of the Learn to Code meme is that most of the jobs have been offshored and the ones that are still Stateside are being swept up by H1B visa labor. This shit has been going on like this since Bill Clinton transitioned us into a "Service Economy."
It used to be that countries would produce everything they needed themselves and then serve those goods and services to their constituents. This was good because in the case of an emergency such as war. There people would not be reliant on other countries. A country could refuse to stop servicing something to a neighboring country and things would be fine.
However, with globalism, it was determined that the economies of the world should be linked. Countries that produce certain things the most effectively should export them to others in the world and so on. This made countries reliant on each other and made it politically impossible for countries to say "go to hell" to other countries.
The issue is that if you can't say go to hell, you cannot negotiate.
Resource dependencies always existed because some things are found in some places and other things are found in other places. The United States, for example, had to source its Titanium from the USSR because the ore that had the highest concentrations and which was practical to mine at that time could only be found in the USSR or China.
Likewise, before the invention of the Haber-Bosch process, Germany did not have large-scale access to nitrates, which are key to both agriculture and production of munitions.
Japan is scarce with natural resources which are key to industrialization, so they have always been dependent on imports to acquire them. Addressing this dependence was a key motivation for their imperial expansion. Their ultimate defeat was a lesson that they'll just have to rely on trade for key resources, and they have prospered by accepting that since then, as long as the US shields them.
It's sure nice to be self-sufficient, and the US is in a better position for this than most countries, but nations have gone to war over exactly these concerns - not so much the inability to acquire key materials in trade, but the fear of being denied access. "I must conquer you because you might hurt me."
Incidentally, this ("I must conquer you because you might hurt me") is the entire logic of US interventionism abroad, to the extent it's not straight-out profiteering.
spot on...those H1B visa holders who can't get a job or work in SV but can't still pay the rent go on to work their remaining hours as UBER, Lyft and DiDi drivers.
Yeah, also the majority of new hires are contract workers who get paid $25-35/hr to write code (and also get swept up into having to do lab management, support work). These aren’t idiots too - I had a contractor who worked under me who was a legitimate genius. He would redesign things out of boredom because he felt they weren’t up to his standards. Significantly underpaid for what he did (same with the other members on his team). We had to fight to get the team a raise since it was pathetic what they were taking home ($25/hr).
and as emboldened as they feel with the blatant theft of the admin - they're not planning to hide any of their disdain, either.
Their hubris will be their demise
Voting doesn’t get the American people out of this situation.
They voted and cheated us into this shit, we are probably gonna have to minecraft our way out of it.
Who said anything about voting? 30% approval rating incoming. Revolution is right around the corner.
Will that be enough to break the conditioning?
I didn't hear anything about voting, either.
People are going to have to get awfully hungry
The government will never save us from the government.

that's when they bring in their Chinese allies or U.N. blue helmets to maintain
orderobediencemeah while their faces are plastered all over the place they will never be able to live a true normal life when we all know the truth.
#spiritcooking pizza and hotdogs in their basements isn't part of a true normal life to begin with
#pizzagate
just like North Korea and they don't believe it either.

As it always is.
Will be hilarious when all the blue collar do learn to code and basically delete/block left from internet 3.0
