Can A.I. Generate New Ideas?
-- Cade Metz/2026 [so far, NO. my view still stands]
There's not a single example of things working out for the appeaser.
-- Nicolle Wallace/2024 [like this? the next extortion is on the way]
Effective with the 2026 mid-term elections, military proctors will be stationed at every shithole Blue city polling place, demanding to see a current, valid United States of Alabama passport. No passport, no vote. I am the dictator.

I know a little something about SQL, DB2 (preferably LUW, z/OS if the money's right), Oracle, SQL Server, Postgres, and database design in general. Mentoring/teaching/consulting on a short term basis, too. And a bit of stat analysis if it's R.
