Just adding. This and all the bad things that will happen if they get the green light, is not how this is done or should be done.

'But all the waste and ineficciency!' Hog wash.

From the system that is working? and serves thousands of people what they needed every day of every year.

They have to say it's horribly broken. Its a lie, but they have to justify why.

There are standards, procurement contracts, entire agency's to make sure


Make sure what?

March 28, 2025 - Make sure that what will happen, doesn't.


coda: The trick this cabal is using is simple - take a thing most folk don't understand. Say it's broken. Open it. Rob it. Say its fixed. Collect profits and praise, leave town.

They're not rebuilding anything. They're just adding back doors everywhere. If anyone hasn't learned yet, these are crackpot script kiddies at best. Even If somehow control is take away from them, they are now going to definitely have to redo the entire thing to make sure none of their shit code survives.

AT BEST it's gonna be some ridiculous npm svalbard worth of projects in one tree, require all new hardware, and declare bankruptcy on the way. Canada did this with the Phoenix Pay System, except didn't have 'efficient' funding so it only sucked but didn't die.

Reminds me of that thing Lex Luthor did where he sponged off rounding errors in financial transactions

I'm less than a decade from taking my SS early. I have already downloaded my SS deduction tables from their website in anticipation of them doing something this stupid. "Oh.. you think you are eligible for earned benefits? We can't seem to locate your contribution history... so sorry for you."

they will make chatGPT do it and then not verify.

They will cross-check with Grok.

Oh no, he wants to “rebuild the stack” from the ground up again.

There are only two reasons softwares goes for decades without being replaced:

  1. It’s so unimportant that nobody uses it
  2. It’s so important that the last major bug was squashed 15 years ago
