tbh having gone to business school is why I do not believe ethics classes in computer science programs will accomplish,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,anything
I once knew a Federal bank examiner, and one time someone asked him why we had to KEEP inspecting banks over and over. He basically said every new batch of business school grads invents bank fraud from first principles.

The underlying cause of every bubble - debt masquerading as financial innovation - depends on not just short financial memory & speculative neophytism, but reinventing jargon of finance, like how each generation of kids has new ways to say same things.

I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit — all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution.
Trump doesn’t understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.

The Democratic party needs change. It is time for a new generation of leaders to stand up to Trump, and to all those complicit in sabotaging the American Dream. Our country needs a comeback. Americans deserve better, and if the Democratic Party is to deliver, new leaders must rise, stand, and fight.

Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed

If the DOJ gets deference from courts on this point, it would be disappointing. If the DOJ doesn’t want to be so busy, then federal agents should stop violating the law.

It's not the sort of thing that collapses overnight, but I think that a lot of Americans do not appreciate the impartial application of the rule of law as being integral to their national prosperity.

Idaho prosecuted the FBI sniper at Ruby Ridge for manslaughter.
A different DA then got elected and dropped it, but that was after the Ninth Circuit said he didn't have sovereign immunity and could be tried on state charges. It's a high bar to clear but it's not impossible.
