I listened to Trump’s
speech today in the Kaiser parking lot, while waiting for an eye exam.
He launched what every
computer literate citizen groans about, a brand new, nationwide computer system
– beta testing at the White House as I type this (Bill Gates was not on
stage). Governments are not known to
be great at designing and implementing nationwide systems. Maybe release 3.11.2 will work well enough,
sometime in the Fall of 2021; then again, maybe things have improved since I
retired.
Trump couldn’t get his
{country of origin} on the Census paperwork, but I bet that question is on the
list of his “few simple questions” to identify the test recipient along with a
mailing address an SSN #.
Btw: I sure am happy I
declined to be a Census worker this year.
There was a lot of prep work, but probably not enough spray bottles of
Purell, gloves, and toilet paper.
His Corporate buddies
on stage today aren’t going to worry about any ACLU suits or liberal judges
telling them what they can ask. With a National
Emergency Label, Barr will squash any complaint. If the computer system works, one result will
be a great INS visit list.
Of course he skirted
the whole question of where are the tens of millions of test kits that he has
been promising for weeks and weeks. Were
there any real plans to do that in the first place?
I ordered a small set
of stronger contacts to use at the DMV, but the eye Doc also gave me a slip of
paper [pre-test] to avoid any DMV eye test in any event. What he said was that I should have cataract
surgery within the next 2-5 years. We
both agreed – after CoVid-19 is under control worldwide.
