@johnkonrad @shashj Shash is trash, appearantly

[Maker Patrick @TheMakerPatrick]

@NotoriousAKG You're wrong and missing the point

[Maker Patrick @TheMakerPatrick]

@AHD_from_TX Thank God!

Hopefully he can rise through the ranks quickly!

[Maker Patrick @TheMakerPatrick]

@Dylan_Morri I would hope that with modern tools, making your own will be substantially less painful than when I taught myself how to make a home-grown one

You want the real answer? Answer this: does your strategic advantage require a custom ERP?

Respect to Samsung not falling for the sunk cost fallacy.

Spending millions on a new HQ in NJ and then abandoning it in 8 months is a really hard decision to make.

“But we spent all that money and time! And now we will have to spend more on relocation!”

Most execs can’t make that call. Sunk cost scrambles their circuits.

Something changed. NJ likely increased taxes, regulations, something…so Samsung took off for Texas.

Will “lose” millions in disposing this property, relocating staff, legal, etc. But will most likely gain much more with the quick decision rather than dragging it out.

Abandon any sunk cost thinking. Pay it zero consideration. It’s always only this point forward.

Fundamentally false.

A tiny subset of Indians of Brahmin background are exceptional

Almost all current Indian immigrants are H-1B frauds, nepo frauds, or other frauds

Entire companies get "Indian'd" in short order: fraud!

It's rampant. It's documented. It's nearly everywhere

[Daniel Di Martino @DanielDiMartino]

@Jar3d__ There is some fraud in every group, in everything, and everywhere. She is wrong to claim Indians (in the U.S.) are exceptionally fraudulent or that they earn more due to that, that is outrageously false.

They earn more for the same reason whites earn more than blacks on average.

@TrentTelenko 3,200 is bonkers, unbelievably bonkers. Is there visual confirmation of each one? If true, that's genuinely absurd. That's like every fuel truck in a smaller US state going out of service at once

@shashj He said, "civilization destroyer," and not whatever made-up nonsense you put in your quote

The Economist had a single good take recently. Don't ruin the streak with your arrogance and pride. Be real, and deal with real issues

[Maker Patrick @TheMakerPatrick]

@NateSilver538 That's your conclusion?

Can you not just state the painfully obvious?

Extreme incentive to cheat

Virtually no disincentive to cheat

It's cheating. It's just a system designed to enable cheating

@it_unprofession You're about 11 other similar trainings away from being fully qualified to be a member of the military

[Maker Patrick @TheMakerPatrick]

@CynicalPublius I suspect you are overconfident in this

There are plenty of "true believers" waiting out this administration, dragging their heels in the meantime

Too many reports of slowly adopting executive orders; they will be the ones to rapidly re-implement DEI if Ds ever get power again

@visegrad24 Unlimited punishment needs to be directed at the police. They should face the ultimate punishment for their abuse of authority, criminal negligence, and extraordinarily poor judgment

@IsaacKing314 Location: British Columbia

Ohhhh, that explains it

[Maker Patrick @TheMakerPatrick]

@SteveLovesAmmo Yes of course! It's when my personal bugaboo came about

[Louie @reallouiehuey]

As a home builder, we are losing a ton of our workforce because of deportations.

That being said now is the time for our American youth to start stepping up into the trades.

You want money? We need you.

This is not a joke. If we want America first, this is it.

"Many Indian visa workers tell Breitbart that Indian hiring managers fire experienced American professionals so their jobs can be sold to kickback-paying, untrained Indians. The mgrs demand 5k-10k.. each job.. There are very few honest Indian managers.." https://t.co/ww5ps2DVd4

@rcanedesignwrks Come to Oklahoma and we'll talk

@johnkonrad Sounds a little Boomer-ish to consume your wealth rather than preserve it for your children and grandchildren

I'm assuming that a bass boat does not retain its value based on the fact that it's a BOAT, which stands for Break Out Another Thousand

[Maker Patrick @TheMakerPatrick]

@AlfonsoHegao That sounds like an assault drill bit, the likes of which are highly regulated or even banned throughout Europe

[Maker Patrick @TheMakerPatrick]

@beffjezos You and all of us pro-data center types still need to address the real concerns. Water, power, land, noise, etc. Real people have real concerns, even if they are amplified by foreign propaganda. Those real concerns contain real kernels of truth. Address them head-on
