mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this millenium, nobody actually saw. perhaps an excusable oversight, but still ridoinculous.
mircea_popescu: prolly because only trolls and terrorists do that or something.
asciilifeform: t nobody was smart enough to see the next millennium coming.'
asciilifeform: obligatory naggum: 'suppose you thought of the new millennium when you wrote your application back in 1972 -- not only wouldn't you be invited to the party, those who knew you had done it right from the start and who probably laughed at you at the time would positively hate you now, and they sure as hell wouldn't tell people about you. and the more stupid they are, the more important it would be to pretend tha

decimation: one can inspect the patches, if one is willing to sit down and do the work

decimation: mircea_popescu: there are genuine people with genuine skills who spend their entire lives attempting to make usg better
mircea_popescu: this is dead money being returned to live hands.
mircea_popescu: but in general : it is good that any one person steals any one sum from the usg.
decimation: at least with private cons, the damage is likely to be limited and obvious in scope, rather than 'socialized'
mircea_popescu: whereas when taxes are significant, the opposite happens.
mircea_popescu: and so the conman moves to try adn con private interest.
