Agreed there. I would call Trump et all pathetic pieces of shit, and Democrats (Biden and Obama admins) weak ones for not doing something while they had the chance.

Who are the “weak men” in your interpretation of today’s scenario? I have my own ideas but I wonder about others.

Seriously lol. MN had HUGE protests the last few days, as did LA when the DHS was there (and why they probably went to somewhere less hostile like MN and soon Maine).
What, pray tell, can we do?

Tens of thousands of people are protesting and some getting arrested, anyone with a voice is doing what they can to sway public opinion.

Our higher courts are compromised (and feckless at times even when used correctly), and the police help ICE. And a large number of Americans do, in fact, want this. Others don’t care until it hits them personally.

So what specifically are people to do, like myself, who live in an unaffected area and who’s politicians are in fact speaking out against this?

I dunno about that. Pretty much everyone from day 1 only cared about making money.

I was at (insert infamous unicorn) and they spent a ton of money (all relative, the money meant nothing) but more importantly 18 months attempting to get SOX compliant and never made it, because running the business was too important. Of course it all came down to lack of leadership to enforce policies but even if we had it, it was objectively super fucking challenging.

When I do get a chance to implement compliant processes at the beginning, it’s one of those amazing IT things where we prevent WW3 but never get the credit for it.

Yea agreed, my comment was more of a sidenote than a direct response.

Made an account just to say that I respectfully disagree solely when it comes to accounting and supply chain processes in an enterprise ERP. Unwinding un-auditable processes costs so much f’ing time and money while the business still has to run that I’ve found it to be cheaper and better to be auditable from day 1, in this one specific instance.
