I love the look on their faces when I ask. "What training program are you running?" or "how many juniors are you hiring?"

Companies expect to be able to hire experienced, trained staff, but don't want to put any effort into actually training them.

This is a problem across so many industries. It's not an easy one to solve.

People think that if you want to start making whatevers in your location, you buy a bunch of CNC machines, and hit start. But none of that works without staff.

I've been at several protests where militarized police showed up and did their best to escalate tensions and encourage violence.

Once in Atlanta, just driving, I saw no less than fifty cop cars speed down neighborhood streets to engage with 30 protesters. You would've thought there was a terrorist attack.

The goal is violence so they have an excuse to attack. #ICE #LAProtests

Tech people must resolve to treat Palantir employees in their spaces - conferences, meetups, hackathons, etc - identically to how they would treat the masked gun-brandishing irregular-uniformed gestapo out there right now arresting every latina mother and child they feel like.
Palantir are the computer job counterparts of those thugs and one wouldn't exist without the other, and they should experience 100% identical social consequences.

We need to be very clear;

ICE are traitors.
ICE are evil.
ICE are the bad guys.

The Freedom Protestors are patriots.
The Freedom Protestors are heroes.
The Freedom Protestors are the good guys.

ICE are working for foreign governments trying to destroy us.

The Freedom Protestors are Americans fighting for the USA.

Which side are you on?
There is no middle.

Military personnel and law enforcement need to think about their oath, their morals, and their future.
