Why should I go to that cemetery? It's filled with losers.
-- Batshit J. Moron/2018 [I guess Iran War Dead are losers, too?]
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]t's election subversion, not cancellation, that is the real authoritarian move. The goal is to keep elections going but without unseating those in power.

- Been doing databases, both relational and others, as well as operations research since Hector was a Pup.
Shameless Plug
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.
