I'd like to think a super neglected IT department will burn companies in the long run like a cancer, but shareholders and upper management really don't give a poo poo.

It most definitely does, though the employees generally eat the damage first. I've already lost one job because they were yanking funds from IT to give to sales... after two months of complaining about how bad offshore's code is. Upper management will happily mortgage their future for sweet sweet dollars.

Consulting is where it's at right now, as the timeline usually goes:


Hire someone out of college
They get sick of doing the lion's share for laughable wages and move on
Teach BA to code
BA neglects it because they have "better things to do" (ie. Have no clue how to do it)
Contract overseas because you can pay them less for less expectations
Miss multiple deadlines and get poo poo code because overseas workers are exploited even worse
Panic
Hire consultant firm to fix it at twice normal fees
Go out of business


The big issue right now is getting in with a firm that actually makes software and isn't just interested in filling seats. Those are hard to find and finding one that gives a poo poo about anyone outside the people present at startup is even harder.

Nah, this is fascinating. I was there for the entire 2008 thread and I honestly don't remember this.

We should undergo a project during the 2016 election to re-create it based solely on the sketchy memories of any smilies that could have possibly been it.

This was not a good enough answer for the person that was talking about how a flat tax would be better and I was hoping there was more that I couldn't think of off the top of my head.

If "it doesn't work and even worse it mangles the income of poor people" isn't a good enough answer you are not going to win this argument no matter what.

Constantly being in the news and disrupting things let the Occupy Wall Street movement force through landmark legislation such as:

Accomplishments:

  • Creating the 1% meme
  • Bringing police brutality to the national spotlight and helping shift the narrative about them
  • Helping spread counteraction information about standard police anti-protest tactics
  • Giving a (literal) voice and rallying point for millennial frustrated with inequality
  • Getting the Dean of the college where an officer maced a line of protesters for no goddamn reason canned, leading to the awesome "silent walk of shame" moment

I mean it slanted way too much towards white college students and whites in general, but there were still protests like Oakland, which is probably the most occupy-y of all, down to actually occupying a foreclosed building as their headquarters.

But you're right, it wasn't able to get something passed given the house and the tea party morons in it, complete failure, everyone point and laugh

I suspect what Joe is hinting at is that there's not a literal decline in most facets but there has been a massively unequal distribution of the improvements to quality of life or whatever metric you want to use.

I suspect the point being made is "things are better than horrible now" which is not the same as "things are good."

Which, while demonstrably correct, is not necessarily helpful towards the conversation about inequality, as it leads people to think that because progress has been made, we're over the hump and can just let things work themselves out. Granted, that's other people's fallacies, but you have to take them into account of you want to persuade someone to honestly consider a new point.
