You know how all those apocalypse movies start with some idiot in charge, making the worst possible decisions…and everyone in the audience is watching them and thinking, “This is such bullshit. No one would ever be this stupid. Even an idiot would know better.”
The White House on Wednesday asked the tech industry’s top players to help the government in the fight against coronavirus, tapping the expertise of companies like Apple, Facebook and Amazon to help beat back falsehoods and use artificial intelligence to glean new insights into the fast-spreading virus.
In a phone call, U.S. Chief Technology Officer Michael Kratsios implored the companies to help out with an “all-hands-on-deck effort” to fight the new coronavirus.
“The White House’s top priority is ensuring the safety and health of the American people amid the COVID-19 outbreak,” Kratsios said in a statement. “Cutting edge technology companies and major online platforms will play a critical role in this all-hands-on-deck effort.”
I bet I know what you typed, and if so I bet I know why you deleted it, and it was the first thing I thought of too, and I laughed, and it was funny in 1984, but I agree it might not go over well today. 😄
The reason I’m making all these guesses is that’s also the reason I didn’t use a different screenshot with more famous dialogue from that scene.
it was an automatic response and then as soon as I hit enter I was like… Nah better delete. Part of me regrets it but easier than having to explain it if somebody hadn’t seen the scene and took it the wrong way

Well. Here we are.
The pandemic taught me just how fucked we are.
Somehow this was never really picked up on/reported after Trump’s first term, but I try to spread this information as much as I can.
Trump’s CTO during his first term, was Peter Thiel’s protege. In March of 2020, Trump asked him to use cutting edge technology to fight COVID disinformation and track the spread of the virus before it got out of hand.
That’s also the guy he picked for his fucking science advisor this time around, and now he’s asked him to “blaze a trail,” for U.S. tech supremacy.
From the 2020 Hill article
Peter Thiel’s new protege is JD Vance.
Ghostbusters tried to warn us but did we listen?
