True. I was more responding to the article that makes no reference to Ada Lovelace. She's deserves to be mentioned when that topic comes up.

Sorry, I'm firmly in Ada Lovelace's camp for credit for first use of the term. https://medium.com/the-mumblings-of-a-security-professional/a-bug-in-the-machine-286800f71cbc

Democrats need to respond by making the story about why Trump killed the bipartisan immigration bill.

It memorable and serves it's purpose to help inoculate lay people against pseudoscience. Something more objective but less catchy would not serve that purpose as well.

All true. My point is that if they're polling current small business owners asking if she is business friendly, they might likely say no, because her plans aren't directly friendly to their specific company.

🤣. Is there a clip of that from the TV view?

Well, one potential psychological flaw in her $50k small business tax credit is that it's only for new small businesses to go towards startup costs.

Existing small businesses that may be struggling can look at that and only see her making it easier for their future competition to get rolling. It's a net negative for them.

Just about the only people that are going to look at that tax credit and see how it benefits them are people that are already looking into starting a small business and the main thing holding them back is the startup costs. That's probably not a lot of voters.

*Gerrymandering raises it's hand.

There was (still is?) the Fair Vote Act that got introduced and immediately buried in committee for several sessions that addressed both RCV and gerrymandering. I've lost hope for it and stopped paying attention to it getting reintroduced.

Just another way for foreign countries to legally fund his campaign without limits. There are only so many sneakers they can "buy" before it starts to look too obvious what's going on.

I don't usually run, but when I do, I run a mild/moderate fever.
