JBP posted:There has to be some system for managing and assessing who is accessing nearly $200b in welfare, but this is a stupid way to do it compared to like any other alternative. Problem is this is the same as their work on asylum seekers. They think that by spending billions terrorising a handful of individuals who ARE THERE BECAUSE THEY HAD gently caress ALL FOR CHOICES will prevent them from trying to access unemployment benefits/disability or seek asylum. They can't wrap their silver spoonfed heads around the concept that people don't end up on the dole because they mean to, or end up fleeing persecution and war because they cbf waiting in a queue (that doesn't actually exist anymore). Edit: And if the ALP don't vote it through without question, the Media has a 7-way tag team on them for 3 weeks until they capitulate.

The funny thing about Libertarians is that if they could JUST grasp the concept of privilege and how it affects your experiences in life, they'd all vanish into thin air and become compassionate and contributing members of society, rather than loud mouthy fuckwaffles. The main reason you can't teach them this, is that the second they become the victims of anything whatsoever, they scream about the systemic abuse of white upper class males until someone has to put them down or everyone stops listening.

We have a pretty big cyber security team, but they're dealing with 20 years of technical debt due to it being a 2 man team up until last year, who had no time for anything beyond firewall changes and ssl certificate updates (sometimes). We had to sacrifice a lot of other functions we wanted to fund that, but it's not like you have a choice in 2018.

froglet posted:(Also I found out how much my last job was paying to the contractors they had to bring in after everyone quit and I don't understand why they didn't just give everyone in the development team a 10-20k payrise to stop them from leaving, it would have been far cheaper). You see, you can't put a price on the ability to sack someone at a moments notice* . . . . *In my experience, it's far harder and more expensive to terminate a contract early than perform genuine redundancies. There is no financial benefit, boomers just can't stand the idea that they're paying you while you're not there, aka on leave, which they all took plenty of when they were younger.

Also this is another case of putting other countries peoples welfare before our own. There is no room for sentiment as Trump has shown when a nation gives and receives nothing in return.If was Trump was running this rescue he would have embedded clauses about revenues from the up coming movie to be made to cover costs our country can ill afford. I don't think you're in the right thread buddy but also, you sound like you should gently caress off in general. Also Abbott has almost definitely been approached by a military industrial lobbyist, and asked to please do the needful. It won't work, because he's a pathetic operator suffering from Relevance Deprivation Syndrome, but eh.

Oh boy you wait until you do some work with PWC. EY are comparatively excellent in comparison. PWC literally come in, do a bunch of bullshit interviews, then do a find and replace on the nearest applicable document, and walk off 5-6 figures heavier. My experience with EY was that they at least generated some original material, even if it wasn't worth the price.
