Unless they wish to oblige :)

But otherwise you're exactly right. What depends on your reputation is short-term perception of negotiability and credibility of your leaders (like with late Obama administration, it was obivous that those dicks are not worth talking to period). Everything else depends on interests and interests only.

Hey Trump voters, how ya feeling about your man these days?	Sam	February 24, 2017 01:46PM
Why do you care?	Death_Claw	February 28, 2017 06:12AM
I'd rather not have the "face" of the country be a gasbag who isn't even attractive.	Sam	March 01, 2017 04:02PM
You really don't know shit about running a country though	Kstatida	March 02, 2017 01:50AM
Neither does our president, but I mean, yeah, that is why America kicks ass Boris. PS Rocky beat Drago. NT	Sam	March 02, 2017 01:48PM
You mean Stallone beat Lundgren? He's not even Russian like Seagal :))) (n/t)	Kstatida	March 02, 2017 07:58PM
You're more mild than ever these days. Can you change your name to Injured_Nail? Anyway, there's one point you raised that warrants a response	Stevers	February 28, 2017 08:52PM

There's also something to be said for the monopolistic "rulers" of the late 1800s and 1900s building us into a superpower (financially) through sheer force of will at times.	Sam	March 01, 2017 04:07PM
Yeah yeah. buh luke dem shuny etc n/t	Stevers	March 01, 2017 11:21AM

Subsidies for local production is protectionism	PaulO	March 03, 2017 03:04AM
Re: Subsidies for local production is protectionism	evil_ranger	March 03, 2017 03:51AM
Gotcha. I can buy that thinking a lot more than employing people to literally do nothing.	Jib	March 02, 2017 09:12AM

Don't think so	Kstatida	March 03, 2017 03:42AM
That argument is moot	Kstatida	March 02, 2017 05:45AM
I hope you're right but I am not confident that will be the case	starbright	March 02, 2017 06:49AM
This logic is flawed	Kstatida	March 02, 2017 10:29AM
And the way that we are/were going, even the $100k/year programmer jobs are probably not very much so 10 years from now.	Jib	March 01, 2017 09:21AM
As a college grad, I disagree that college grads aren't being given opportunities. I've received offers and I haven't even finished my master's yet. n/t	Stevers	March 01, 2017 10:14AM
Man, Stevers, you're not done yet!? How long does it take to write hello world app? ;)	Jib	March 01, 2017 10:31AM
You've edited it now, so I can't be sure. However, with the current version of your post, you're totally right about having said college grads not being given a chance in the future. I thought that sentence was referring to the present n/t	Stevers	March 01, 2017 10:38AM
The edit part, I wrote "edit:"	Jib	March 01, 2017 10:40AM
By the way, didn't you help me write a hello world program in my first ever semester? n/t	Stevers	March 01, 2017 11:25AM

Tech jobs in the USA are at a "negative" unemployment rate.	Death_Claw	March 01, 2017 10:18AM
What is a realistic opportunity? There are plenty of crappy jobs that he could apply for. Why did you mention your father in this post at all? n/t	Stevers	March 01, 2017 10:31AM
Reason I mentioned it...	Death_Claw	March 01, 2017 10:43AM
I mean, how does tech jobs being at a negative unemployment rate and your father losing his job due to tech correlate? Are you trying to use it as a supporting anecdote? n/t	Stevers	March 01, 2017 10:45AM
Nope. n/t	Death_Claw	March 01, 2017 11:06AM
Right, so it was a useless piece of information tacked on to the post because you'd rather empty your mind on these forums than have a discussion. Classic death_claw. n/t	Stevers	March 01, 2017 11:09AM
You asked me a question...	Death_Claw	March 01, 2017 11:10AM
Do you really think I want people to clarify when I ask them to elaborate on something? Seriously, what has church done to you? n/t	Stevers	March 01, 2017 11:11AM
Is it weird that I missed you? n/t	Death_Claw	March 01, 2017 11:12AM
Don't get all sentimental. Sam tried that with me once, and look what became of us. n/t	Stevers	March 01, 2017 11:17AM
