  • I Didn’t Leave America. America Left Me.

    ‎”[I] DIDN’T LEAVE AMERICA. AMERICA LEFT ME.” (( A reference to Regan’s statement ‘I didn’t leave the democratic party, the democratic party left me.’ )) Any country that wants to demonize white males, is welcome to. I’m a libertarian: You’re welcome to do what you want, just not welcome to do what you want with me. I don’t want to live in a country where I’m preyed upon by the state, and hold second class legal status because of my race and gender. Where my heritage is disowned and discredited. And where I’m demonized in exchange for my entrepreneurship. Thanks. Our enemy: The State. Democracy is the slow road to totalitarianism.

    UNBELIEVABLE DEV COST

    You know, in Seattle, assuming I could get developers this good to work on this product, the burdened cost would be something on the order of 100 an hour. Here it’s 25.

    FASHION: LONG LEATHER COATS

    In the states, wearing a long leather coat makes you a member of the lower classes.

    And if you aren’t at least six-two and have a thirty eight inch chest, they make you look like a cow.

    But these really tall skinny Slavic men can pull It off without looking like dorks.

    Lots of good looking (straight) men in Kiev. And downtown shops cater to them.

    So far I’m spending money almost exclusively with Karl Lagerfeld. Which I wouldn’t normally wear in the states. But is perfect here.

    BUDGET. SIGH.

    Ok. Now that we have the scope done, and the plumbing done. I have to do a budget. Which means a project plan, estimates and comprises. No

    one likes compromises.

    The team is quite good. Exceptional. But it will be work keeping their confidence. The scope of work is not something they are comfortable with.

    They want to simplify things for themselves not the user. And they seem afraid of some of the complex features because multi site solutions are unfamiliar to them.

    So it is cheaper to develop software here. And the talent is exceptional. Especially per dollar. But you have to work hard to incrementally build their confidence.

    This isn’t Seattle or SF. The talent doesn’t have poduct experience. And they are timid. And like all of us, when exposed to the unfamiliar they resort to the familiar.

    I love this business.

    I love engineers.

    🙂

    How about we worry about our country and spend less time worrying about others.

    All LaGarde wants is for americans to continue their indirect subsidy of Europe.

    WHITE PEOPLE STAYED HOME. BUT WHY?

    I said that this would happen ten years ago. If you look at white male voting patterns, they have been checking out of the electoral process for decades. They are checking out of the economy in droves. The question is why?

    From Dick Morris:

    “Now that all the data is in … It is not just that blacks, Latinos, and single women showed up in record numbers at the polls. It’s that whites didn’t.

    The final numbers suggest that 91.6 million votes were cast by whites — seven million less than the 98.6 million that were cast in 2008! Meanwhile, 16.6 million blacks voted — 300,000 more than in 2008; 11 million Latinos voted — 1.7 million more votes than were cast by Hispanics in 2008.”

    I know why. Do you?

    Have to apply a discount to the storytelling advantage. Not much innuendo-hay to make about supermodels in this case. No back seat. And the cabin prevents gymnastics. 😉

    THE ONLY WAY TO KILL IDEOLOGY: IT”S REPRODUCTION SILLY

    To demonstrate that all ideologies are justifications for attempts to acquire power that supports one’s reproductive strategy.

    This is an intentionally loaded overstatement, perhaps, But it brings home the point that people vote by race, gender and class. They support their reproductive strategy.

    Well, there is more to it you say.

    Um. Not really. Not in the aggregate. Ideology is necessary only because of democracy. If instead, we had monarchies, and rigid property rights, then people would not have access to political power, and instead would be limited to economic power. And economic power can only be obtained through satisfying the wants of others – or by corporatism or alliance with the state.

    Monarchy denies people access to power. Democracy simply is communism by slower means.
