o The administration promised to fix critical vulnerabilities, but the patch rollout has been a mess. Some patches break more things than they fix (looking at you, Build Back Better Act). It’s like deploying a buggy update that crashes half the servers.
o Meanwhile, the zero-day exploits keep popping up—Afghanistan, Taiwan, Ukraine—like unpatched servers with open ports. We’re playing whack-a-mole with geopolitical threats.
Infrastructure Overhaul Delayed
o Remember the grand plan to revamp the entire network infrastructure? Bridges, roads, broadband—everything. Well, it’s stuck in committee. The routers are ancient, and the bandwidth is clogged. We’re still on dial-up while other countries zoom past us on fiber optics.
o And don’t get me started on the cybersecurity budget. It’s like trying to secure Fort Knox with a padlock from the dollar store.
Communication Breakdowns
o The messaging strategy is all over the place. One day it’s “Stay home, stay safe” (like a firewall lockdown), and the next day it’s “Business as usual” (open ports galore). Users are confused, and the logs show a spike in misinformation packets.
o Plus, the internal chat channels resemble a heated flame war. It’s like the sysadmins arguing about tabs vs. spaces, but on a global scale.
Supply Chain Snafu
o The chip shortage hit hard. Servers are waiting in line like desperate Black Friday shoppers outside Best Buy. We’re running on spare parts and duct tape.
o And the printer ink crisis? It’s like trying to print mission-critical reports with invisible ink. Our CFO is not amused.
User Access Control Chaos
o The border security settings are a mess. Some users get VIP access (green cards), while others are stuck in an endless loop of CAPTCHAs (asylum seekers). It’s a nightmare for the help desk.
o And the password policy? Let’s just say it’s “Password123” for everyone. We’re practically inviting hackers to the party.
Cloud Migration Hiccups
o The plan was to move everything to the cloud. But the migration scripts are glitchy. Some files got lost in transit (like the Afghanistan withdrawal plan). Now we’re stuck with a hybrid mess—on-prem servers and cloud instances fighting for dominance.
In summary, the current administration needs a serious IT overhaul. We’re dealing with legacy systems, security gaps, and a lack of scalability. Maybe they should hire some battle-tested sysadmins to sort this out. Or at least consult Clippy—he’s seen it all.

Meanwhile, Trump increased our median household income by 6% and corporate profits rose by 17.4% (mind you, ignoring the period of the pandemic, because, well, that's just out of control). Then the good news ends. Violent crime drastically increased. The consumer price increase was at 7.8% (so much for those pay gains). Home prices rose 27.5%. We lost 178,000 manufacturing jobs. Before the pandemic. Coal mining jobs dropped by nearly 13,000. He put us in an expensive trade war and hurt our farmers. He increased our costs and reduced our profits. Meanwhile, under Biden-Harris, our economy roared back from both the Pandemic and the Trump damage so much, that we outpaced every other developed nation and they looked to Biden for how to improve their own economies.
But hey, let's talk chips. Trump tried and failed to bring chip manufacturing into the States. Don't worry, Biden stepped in and fixed that too.
And we don't even want to discuss his immorality. Suffice to say, I'm ashamed of all the folks claiming to be Christian and somehow supporting this Saul.
Here's a nice video that can go much deeper into the economics.
