President Trump

[DawgyNWindow]

That is because you are a boomer that doesn’t know what you are doing. If you want to find the higher pay (and not your garden variety $130k-150k programmer job) you have to go to the jobs in these companies where the demand and value is - the jobs that build the productivity software that makes fewer jobs needed in flyover country. Cloud, analytics, AI

I know this for a fact and you can take it to the bank. Or you can look it up on zip recruiter.

https://www.ziprecruiter.com/Salarie...chitect-Salary
8% of these jobs pay in the range, and you can click through to confirm no education requirement.

Once you collect a couple AWS certifications (taking a few years) - you can get this job, with even higher percentile being over 200k.

This took me only a couple minutes to find...

You're a genius (self proclaimed).

Here is some of the verbiage from these jobs (I don't know why I waste my time, because I really don't care how much people make on the west coast):

"

Technical degree required; Computer Science or Math background highly desired"

"

A Bachelor?s Degree in Computer Science, Engineering or a related field (or equivalent)"

The knowledge required for most of these positions involves more schooling and experience than most people will have the ability to develop. And even then, the TOP salary is in the range you posted (the top range is similar everywhere else, too...not just the west coast, but the "flyover" country as well).

If you think these are jobs for your average high school graduate, you are terribly mistaken. How do I know? I worked in the IT field for about 20 years.

Oh, and I know some folks without college degrees that make over $250K in the oil industry right there in your state. I'm just not going to try and say that's the typical experience.

You really aren’t very good at the Internet are you?

How to Become an AWS Solution Architect

There are no education requirements to become an Amazon Web Services (AWS) solution architect. Many AWS solution architect jobs only require an AWS solution architect certification, but a bachelor’s degree in computer science or a related field would provide you a basic understanding of cloud-based solutions. Study cloud-based development data management and storage, mobile technologies, and most importantly, the AWS platform itself to become familiar with what it can and how it is utilized. Pass the AWS associate exam to prove your cloud framework design abilities and become certified to work on the AWS system. You should be proficient with at least one operating system, such as Linux or Unix, and have a solid understanding of networking and cloud security. Seek an entry-level position and learn from senior developers to gain the skills that will help you fulfill your duties in this position.

Actually, I know non-grads with 3 years experience making more than the top of the limits that I posted. And they get to sleep in their own beds every night.

Is that typical? No, but isn’t unusual either. And within 75% of what they make is extremely common and within reach of most non-grad programmers, especially now, for those working in the key areas I mentioned.

I believe he was speaking in relation to the national emergency because of the virus.

Well, I still have no idea what Trump was really saying here. If he was talking about usurping the rights of the states, then he is sadly mistaken and needs another advisor. He can lift the national emergency, but he cannot tell the governors what to do.

Heck, I almost hope he tries to use this imaginary authority so it can go through the courts and stop this ugly expansion of the power of the federal government. Kinda nice to see dems on the states rights side of things (until there is a dem in the Whitehouse that wants to push the dem agenda, that is). There are lots of things I'd like to see revisited where the feds overstepped their constitutional duties.

I agree...the Fed guvmint needs to be reeled in. Unfortunately the libs, the Dems, don't want it reeled in, they want to expand federal control. Oh, right now with a Repub in the WH, especially this one, they will pay it lip service and do some temporary things, but just wait til the next obummer-type is in there. All pretense will be gone.

The poor ole bastardized 10th Amendment....

He was saying what he was thinking before he thought about it. He does this a lot.

Seriously, I think he envisions all the governors working together with he and his advisers to come up with a plan of action that will vary depending on the situation(s).

The media is too freekin' stupid to envision anything other than getting rid of Trump and trying to goad him. They goaded him into saying something he didn't mean to say. Once he said it, he didn't want to back down. That's who he is.

Plenary power exists for president Trump now that we have a national disaster in every state and it’s pretty much king like. He’s not going crazy but he could send the Army into a state to enforce a shutdown if he felt the need to to protect the citizens from the stupidity of a governor.

Which is one thing, but he is talking about forcing states to open for business. Which is kind of the opposite of the emergency.

For the record I think the administration needs to tread lightly on the whole issue of reopening anything. The WH had better work closely with the states, all states/governors, and maintain a VERY transparent, daily communication with the populace. Even to the point of being aggravatingly redundant. Such as in a press conference, some time down the road:

"Okay, we have been in communication with the governors of ______, _______, ______ states and here's where we are. They want to relax lockdowns and allow folks to return to work, under the following conditions: ______________. We told them if they absolutely follow those standards, to the letter, monitor it closely, and are prepared to act quickly to close down any business violating the policy, then, yes, as of this date: _________, we think the governors of ________, _________, _______ can try it. So on...

Anything less, and if something goes amiss, Trump will get blamed, even though it would be the states doing it and taking responsibility for managing it.

As my wife says, funny "the states" fussed because Trump did not tell them they should shut down. Mr. President, you should have ORDERED us to lockdown...it's all your fault. But now, Mr. President, you can't ORDER us not to reopen!

Your wife has a keen mind and is blessed with a good memory.

Trump can’t manage nuance. He created chaos.

Trump announces US will halt funding to World Health Organization over coronavirus response.


President Trump announced at the White House coronavirus news briefing in the Rose Garden on Tuesday that the United States will immediately halt all funding for the World Health Organization (WHO), saying it had put "political correctness over lifesaving measures."

Also at the briefing, the president said plans to ease the national economic shutdown were being finalized, and that he would be "authorizing governors to reopen their states to reopen as they see fit." At the same time, Trump made clear that he was not going to put "any pressure" on governors to reopen.

Trump read a long list of names of people in business, health care and sports who will advise him on how to restart the economy. "We have to get our sports back," Trump remarked. "I'm tired of watching baseball games that are 14 years old."

In the meantime, Trump declared that the United States would undertake a 60-to-90 day investigation into why the "China-centric" WHO had caused "so much death" by "severely mismanaging and covering up" the coronavirus' spread, including by making the "disastrous" decision to oppose travel restrictions on China.

The United States is the WHO's largest single donor, and the State Department had previously planned to provide the agency $893 million in the current two-year funding period. Trump said the United States contributes roughly $400 to $500 million per year to WHO, while China offers only about $40 million. The money saved will go to areas that "most need it," Trump asserted.

"We have deep concerns over whether America's generosity has been put to the best use possible," Trump said, accusing the WHO of failing to adequately keep the international community apprised of the threat of the coronavirus.

"The WHO failed in this duty, and must be held accountable," Trump went on. He added that the WHO had ignored "credible information" in December 2019 that the virus could be transmitted from human to human.

Really, Trump did the same thing as the WHO. Shouldn’t he be deserve the same scrutiny for accepting their word and promoting Chinese version of what was going on?

Trump (Jan 24) - China has been working very hard to contain the Coronavirus. The United States greatly appreciates their efforts and transparency. It will all work out well. In particular, on behalf of the American People, I want to thank President Xi!

Trump (February 7) “Just had a long and very good conversation by phone with President Xi of China. He is strong, sharp and powerfully focused on leading the counterattack on the Coronavirus. He feels they are doing very well, even building hospitals in a matter of only days. Nothing is easy, but he will be successful, especially as the weather starts to warm & the virus hopefully becomes weaker, and then gone. Great discipline is taking place in China, as President Xi strongly leads what will be a very successful operation. We are working closely with China to help!"

Trump (Feb 10) “I think China is very, you know, professionally run in the sense that they have everything under control," Trump said. "I really believe they are going to have it under control fairly soon. You know in April, supposedly, it dies with the hotter weather. And that's a beautiful date to look forward to. But China I can tell you is working very hard."

Trump (Feb 13) "Well, you never know. I think they want to put the best face on it. So you know, I mean, if somebody -- if you were running it, you'd probably -- you wouldn't want to run out to the world and go crazy and start saying whatever it is because you don't want to create a panic," he said. "But, no, I think they've handled it professionally and I think they're extremely capable and I think President Xi is extremely capable and I hope that it's going to be resolved."

So, when you think about it. Trump actually did much worse than the WHO. And defunding the WHO during a pandemic seems to be cutting off your nose to spite your face.

But you guys did elect a chaos president rather than an effective leader.
