I gave you and upvote because you came to the debate. Please don’t down vote people who want to talk ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

People love the policy and hate the person. Call it dumb, stupid whatever you want, but that is the reality. The centrists better realise this quickly.

That is how the godfather works.

What I am trying to say is, it doesn’t matter whose job it was. People vote for a leader. It was up to the leaders to make it happen. That happened to be the president. It’s nothing more complex than that.

Highly engaged voters are invested and take the time to understand policy and nuance. Generally this is not the case. All the others are just trying to get through the day. So you cannot win them over with policy and nuances.

You need to show big, bold initiative and follow through.

The Democratic party could not even prosecute a guy who tried to murder Congress. So the thinking goes - Why the fuck would someone vote for them when they do fuck all?

Hell if someone tried to murder you and you just gave up and went about your way, no one would trust you to do anything of substance. That is the problem with the Democratic party today.

People demanded balls. They got prunes.

Or Biden releases it as a matter of national security? Dems have no balls.

A mile is nothing … what the actual fuck? I used to be gone for hours god knows where.

The elected nightmare

Let me finish that sentence for you

…at places and areas that don’t bow down to Trump.

Access. The Rolodex. The ability to not have a conscious. Those are what are valued.

Americans rejected the middle. They want someone who says they will take a stand against the status quo. The argument isn’t any more complex than that.

The Obama vote (change you can believe in) and Trump vote are similar in their popular message at the root of it.

When people lose hope in a system the person who promises to break it down wins. Does not matter that it’s a charlatan or a champion.

Yup look at Pol Pot and Cambodia. Or the Spanish Inquisition.

No they won’t miss Biden . They will keep blaming the immigrants and vote Trump.

The beatings will continue until the promises of Trump are achieved… They will cheer for the beatings and say the only reason it isn’t working because there aren’t more beatings m

That is simply not true. What you get is standards. Standards bodies exist. In this most recent debacle all that is needed is compatible bands and VoLTE to make it compatible.

If these two exist, then it works.

Don’t listen to me, here is a reference. https://www.whistleout.com.au/MobilePhones/Guides/Will-my-phone-work-in-Australia-carrier-network-frequencies

How do you think spec sheets work? Engineers rely on data a d there are industry standards. That is the whole point of documentation. Even little motors and resistors have documentation that is relied on. You really think this is not documented accurately?

You really think that Optus is intensely checking and verify every device they sell? They rely on the documentation! They are a retailer of phones.

The way that Aussies think is always interesting. I find a lot of people bend over backwards to justify the reasons for companies. Instead of standing up for customers these arguments seem to look like a shining example of “out of scope” decisions. I have seen in too many corporate meetings and decision makers.

Read the article. Optus is not bothering checking. Just closing stuff off.

It’s not a bunch of a large number. It is a set number of phones from well known providers from a few countries.

Basically no one wanted to pay for one Business Analyst to read documentation and make phone calls to providers. For a program that has years and millions in it.

Or worse, cause it is out of scope

Or the worst, so they could sell the “buy from the provider” bullshit

This isn’t regulatory. It’s Optus deciding that if they didn’t sell the handset or its foreign bought it is will be blocked. Because of reasons…

And don’t ask questions because software is hard, and telecom is too technical for the plebs.

It’s nothing but a blatant cash grab hidden in a thin veneer of technical babble because it’s tough for modern journalists to question engineering.

About time First Amendment was respected

What a bunch of idiots
