Government employees only work at about 1/4 of their potential because of a lack of motivation. Put their jobs on the line and watch it get done quickly. Because I've been laid off twice in the private sector from two high paying jobs, and I've avoided twice as many layoffs. Government employees don't worry about losing their jobs. This is the number one reason why people dread having to work with any government employees to get anything done. They don't care. They're lazy, unmotivated, and in the case of the forced diversity hires that trump actual talent they are also unqualified for the position in the first place. Start cracking the whip and letting them know that their jobs are on the line if they don't start performing and you'll see all the little ants get in a line to start working.

But I've worked the private sector as well, and I have found pockets of laziness within the corporate system that closely matches that of government employment. I used to work for a large company that didn't have a clue what their own employees did for a living within their own system. Both bosses and workers shuffling papers and their feet until it was quitting time. So it happens everywhere, with all kinds of people (just in case you had it in mind that only certain type of people are lazy). Each individual must answer to themselves on their work ethic. SGG

Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.

Quote:... that battered Mrs. Clinton on Russian outlets like RT and Sputnik ...
Quote:... Russia’s experimentation on Facebook and Twitter, the American companies that essentially invented the tools of social media and, in this case, did not stop them from being turned into engines of deception and propaganda.

Quote:... to the Kremlin ...
Quote: ... and used to buy $100,000 in ads ...
Quote: Given the powerful role of social media in political contests ...
Quote: ... understanding the Russian efforts
Quote: “We know we have to stay vigilant to keep ahead of people who try to misuse our platform,” Alex Stamos, Facebook’s chief security officer, wrote on Wednesday in a post about the Russia-linked fake accounts and ads. “We believe in protecting the integrity of civic discourse.”
Quote:Facebook officials estimated that of all the “civic content” posted on the site in connection with the United States election, less than one-tenth of one percent resulted from “information operations” like the Russian campaign.
Quote:Russia has been quite open about playing its hacking card. ... “We are living in 1948,” said the adviser, Andrey Krutskikh, referring to the eve of the first Soviet atomic bomb test, in a speech reported by The Washington Post. “I’m warning you: We are at the verge of having something in the information arena that will allow to us to talk to the Americans as equals.”
Quote: Mr. Putin said ... “This is no proof.” Mr. Putin had a point.
Quote:Russia deliberately blurs its role in influence operations, American intelligence officials say.
Quote:United States intelligence concluded that DCLeaks.com was created in June 2016 by the Russian military intelligence agency G.R.U.
Quote: The Times asked Facebook about these and a half-dozen other accounts that appeared to be Russian creations.
Quote: Mobilizing a ‘Bot’ Army
Quote:... hundreds of accounts ...
Quote: J. M. Berger, a researcher in Cambridge, Mass., helped build a public web “dashboard” for the Washington-based Alliance for Securing Democracy to track hundreds of Twitter accounts ...
Quote:But there is ample reason to suspect that the Russian meddling may have been far more widespread.
Quote: Both on the left and the pro-Trump right, though, some skeptics complain that Moscow has become the automatic boogeyman, accused of misdeeds with little proof. Even those who track Russian online activity admit that in the election it was not always easy to sort out who was who.
Quote: Mr. Weisburd said he had labeled some Twitter accounts “Kremlin trolls” based simply on their pro-Russia tweets and with no proof of Russian government ties.
Quote:The Times contacted several such users, who insisted that they had come by their anti-American, pro-Russian views honestly, without payment or instructions from Moscow. “Hillary’s a warmonger,” said Marilyn Justice, 66, who lives in Nova Scotia and tweets as @mkj1951. Of Mr. Putin, she said in an interview, “I think he’s very patient in the face of provocations.” Ms. Justice said she had first taken an interest in Russia during the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, while looking for hockey coverage and finding what she considered a snide anti-Russia bias in the Western media. She said she did get a lot of news from Sputnik and RT but laughed at the notion that she could have Kremlin connections. Another of the so-called Kremlin trolls, Marcel Sardo, 48, a web producer in Zurich, describes himself bluntly on his Twitter bio as a “Pro-Russia Media-Sniper.” He said he shared notes daily via Skype and Twitter with online acquaintances, including Ms. Justice ...
Quote: ... his prolific posts are a victory for Russia’s information war — that admirers of the Kremlin spread what American officials consider to be Russian disinformation on election hacking, Syria, Ukraine and more.
Quote:The former KGB invested in a massive operation, Russian troll farms, to beat Clinton. Russians posing as Americans came within just 3 million votes of pulling that off, enough to give Putin what he wanted. There was a time when that would have bothered most Americans.

Quote:Originally posted by 1kiki: Going through this article, I've concluded that - once again - there's a notable lack of evidence for any of its claims. Even more troubling, the article puts genuine people with honestly-held opinions in the same category as alleged bots and trolls - as alleged warriors on the alleged pro-Russian side of the alleged information war. They are people who spread things 'American officials' don't want you to think. The only propaganda I find evidence for in this article, is the article itself. Quote:The Fake Americans Russia Created to Influence the Election https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/07/us/politics/russia-facebook-twitter-election.html Well, supposedly Russia created fake Americans. But there's no indication that, even if it did, they influenced the election. Otherwise, the title would have been "The Fake Americans Russia Created THAT InfluenceD the Election". Is there evidence for the claim? Was the election ACTUALLY influenced? Reading further ... Quote:a few shots that draw little notice I wonder if that's self-descriptive ... Quote:The DCLeaks site had gone live a few days earlier, posting the first samples of material, stolen from prominent Americans by Russian hackers ... There is not now, nor has there ever been, evidence that Russians did it. So right at the start, I'm pretty sure that this is propaganda, pushing a false, but often-echoed, narrative as 'news'. Quote:... that battered Mrs. Clinton on Russian outlets like RT and Sputnik ... With a minuscule penetration into the US market.Quote:... Russia’s experimentation on Facebook and Twitter, the American companies that essentially invented the tools of social media and, in this case, did not stop them from being turned into engines of deception and propaganda. The thesis. Quote: investigation by The New York Times, and new research from the cybersecurity firm FireEye ... https://www.fireeye.com/ a commercial venture selling security, hired by the Clintons for their foundation http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-cyber-democrats-idUSKCN10T01G - and hopefully, better than CrowdStrike which firewalled the DNC server away from FBI investigation. (And, now that I think about it - why would you not want the FBI snooping on your server? Could there be DNC criminal activity there?) Quote: On Wednesday, Facebook officials disclosed that they had shut down several hundred accounts (470 “inauthentic” accounts) ... out of roughly 2 billion, with a 'b' https://zephoria.com/top-15-valuable-facebook-statistics/ Quote: ... that they believe ... Is there evidence? Quote:... were created by a Russian company ... (Internet Research Agency) ... linked ... Every link I found goes back to one NYTimes article which itself has no evidence. Quote:... to the Kremlin ... no evidence Quote: ... and used to buy $100,000 in ads ... out of about a half-billion - $500,000,000,000 - spent on ads, total http://elections.ap.org/content/ad-spending So far I don't see either evidence OR anything remotely significant about these FB claims. The case for Twitter is even weaker. Quote: Given the powerful role of social media in political contests ... This is another un-evidenced claim. Quote: ... understanding the Russian efforts begging the question, thesis assumed as fact https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Begging_the_question Quote: “We know we have to stay vigilant to keep ahead of people who try to misuse our platform,” Alex Stamos, Facebook’s chief security officer, wrote on Wednesday in a post about the Russia-linked fake accounts and ads. “We believe in protecting the integrity of civic discourse.” Facebook has a nasty habit of kicking legitimate users off for unpopular politics. https://www.nytimes.com/2014/09/20/your-money/kicked-off-facebook-and-wondering-why.html Quote:Facebook officials estimated that of all the “civic content” posted on the site in connection with the United States election, less than one-tenth of one percent resulted from “information operations” like the Russian campaign. According to FB, "information operations” are a very small fraction of the total. But it would be nice if they gave an actual estimated figure. "Less than" 0.1% could be 0.000000000000000000001%, and we couldn't tell. (Though it could be that their tracking software doesn't go down to less than 0.1%, as a figure below significance.) Quote:Russia has been quite open about playing its hacking card. ... “We are living in 1948,” said the adviser, Andrey Krutskikh, referring to the eve of the first Soviet atomic bomb test, in a speech reported by The Washington Post. “I’m warning you: We are at the verge of having something in the information arena that will allow to us to talk to the Americans as equals.” The "information arena" could be anything.Quote: Mr. Putin said ... “This is no proof.” Mr. Putin had a point. Yes, he does. Quote:Russia deliberately blurs its role in influence operations, American intelligence officials say. American intelligence officials say a lot of things, many of dubious legitimacy. Quote:United States intelligence concluded that DCLeaks.com was created in June 2016 by the Russian military intelligence agency G.R.U. And this is yet another pristine example of the many things US intelligence says, followed by the the often repeated (especially by the NYTimes) and tired, but equally unevidenced, claims about Guccifer and Wikileaks. Quote: The Times asked Facebook about these and a half-dozen other accounts that appeared to be Russian creations. Granny get your gun. The Russians appear to be invading. Quote: Mobilizing a ‘Bot’ Army How big is the supposed army? Quote:... hundreds of accounts ... An actual figure would be nice. "Hundreds" is somewhere between 200 and 999 accounts. Though that is out of "328 million users on Twitter" or about a third of a billion, again, with a 'b'.Quote: J. M. Berger, a researcher in Cambridge, Mass., helped build a public web “dashboard” for the Washington-based Alliance for Securing Democracy to track hundreds of Twitter accounts ... This is the same Berger and the same Alliance for Securing Democracy run by mainly neocons of both parties with an anti-Russian agenda, not an unbiased research organization. https://en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Alliance_for_Securing_Democracy Quote:But there is ample reason to suspect that the Russian meddling may have been far more widespread. Considering they haven't provided evidence for their thesis in the first place, the chutzpah is outstanding.Quote: Both on the left and the pro-Trump right, though, some skeptics complain that Moscow has become the automatic boogeyman, accused of misdeeds with little proof. Even those who track Russian online activity admit that in the election it was not always easy to sort out who was who. "the left and the pro-Trump right" Really. The world breaks down into such simplistic categories. Aside from that, the article frequently admits it has little (I'd say no) evidence, AS IF that admission somehow exonerates it from making specious claims. IT DOESN'T. This is supposed to be a news article. But it's barely disguised propaganda at best, and lazy idle gossip with a NYTimes megaphone at worst. Quote: Mr. Weisburd said he had labeled some Twitter accounts “Kremlin trolls” based simply on their pro-Russia tweets and with no proof of Russian government ties. This is very similar to the metrics used by FB and Twitter - labelling is based on content and source-sharing, as well as 'patterns' of social media posting. That's worse than gossip or even propaganda. It seeks to delegitimize and actively stifle freedom of speech, of expression ... and of thought.Quote:The Times contacted several such users, who insisted that they had come by their anti-American, pro-Russian views honestly, without payment or instructions from Moscow. “Hillary’s a warmonger,” said Marilyn Justice, 66, who lives in Nova Scotia and tweets as @mkj1951.

Where do you get this sh#t?? No wonder you’re world view is so messed up. So great, argue for “Fairness” until you’re blue in the face. And while you do the poor should wait? No?

Quote:Since joining this site I can say SIG has posted nothing but lies and misinformation. Her favorite resource is zerohedge. That's a corrupt site that manipulates news stories and reposts them. The staff there hide their identities. What's my point? SIG lies about everything so why would you believe she is successful? Why would you believe she has money or anything the comes with being well to do? She is a Russian troll, nothing more. - THUGR
