I used to teach ESL to some banking IT people, COBOL programmers whose skills were still in demand half a century after COBOL came out. Because the banking systems written half century ago still work, and when it comes to handling other people's money, breakages, mistakes and downtime are absolutely not an option.

If Musk really wanted to run government like a business, he'd do like the banks and leave a working system damn well alone.

Of course, he wants to run government like one of his businesses, into the ground like Twitter or soon Tesla.


PS The only bank they knew of implementing newer tech for handling the money was a brand new one with no existing systems the new tech might break.

(I'm also not affiliated with SM, used to have a licence for Linux around 2010. I've only used LibreOffice in recent years, but then I haven't needed MS Office-compatibility in recent years.)

I used to joke "I would resist Trump's coming fascist dictatorship, but Obama's socialist Muslim theocracy took all my guns."

But it's been a while since I thought any such warnings were funny. Sorry I ever did.
