Tech DOES have a huge impact. Automation has killed millions of good paying blue collar jobs here in the Midwest. Most of you “techies” didn’t show much concern for those people. Now that the next tech phase, AI, might affect YOU, suddenly there’s some concern. As for off topic stuff, you guys take threads off topic all the time. And nobody cares. Like many of you have stated, you were just going to ignore me or show us your programming skills by sending my responses directly to the circular file. It takes 2 or more to tango. I think I’ll save you the terror of my diatribes since I no longer need to waste retirement time here with privileged geniuses. One guy here once called me book smart but not street smart. That was hilarious considering I’ve run 2 businesses, one of which did business with the Mafia. Trust me, you get street smart when the mafia threatens you. Plus the 10k reward we got from Garda systems for helping capture a multimillion dollar heist locally.

Had I thought about it I could have easily intuited that it would go political and end up exactly where we are at. That wasn’t the intent but was the outcome. I repent in dust and ashes.
