DEI Hiring and AWS Outage - Eventually Every Monopoly Declines in Quality While Maintaining High Prices

The Amazon web service was huge outage yesterday. We used to say Amazon WAS the Internet. Though it is not actually the Internet, most traffic on the Internet goes from 'East to West' within the AWS cloud, not needing to roam out onto the rest of world. So it was a big outage. AWS is the biggest cloud network. 

I have primary and direct experience observing this level of outage elsewhere(no names of course) and it is always due to human error. Its never a software defect or bug. The systems are built to be utterly bullet proof - so long as they are maintained professionally, theres no way they can go down. 

The same is true for nuclear powers stations, just on an even higher and more extreme level of professionalism and risk assessment. They can still go down though. Its just such a low frequency statistical probability only the paranoid or politically nefarious would not adopt it.

DEI hiring will be huge risk breaking this model. DEI's are hired because they are cheaper. Not because it is politically correct, as if even that were a good reason. Even the worlds biggest corporations can no longer afford to pay the taxes of professionals. Yes, thats right. Employee taxes are not paid by the employee but the corporation. The corporation has to cover the tax the employee is forced, against their will, to pay. So much so that its taken by the corporation at source. Not only does the employee never see that 40% portion of their hard earned, they do not pay it anyway. 

I cannot say DEI hiring was the case for this AWS outage. And they will never tell the world what really happened anyway which is not unreasonable. They are a business and need to protect their shareholders first followed by their staff. And then their customers. This is not unreasonable and admitting it is forbidden.

But if these big essential business operations are not being run by professionals to the extent they mitigate enough risk, eventually someone will make a small yet devastating mistake taking down the entire world. Usually there is a single fatal human error, which links two chains of other problems which are not fatal, completing the freak event.

Its not a stretch of the imagination to think about how this is how the public sector has always been. Yes, the very same people protecting systemic criminal activity in the public sector in exchange for a bag of silver each month and a big pension. Except today the public sector is even less well paid than ever before. This is not to say they should raise wages. Nor is the idea of importing voters to drive down wages even further a solution of course. It is to say most of them could be fired and it would make no difference. It is essentially a welfare service in disguise.

And the private sector is approaching this position too evidently. I suspect CEO's already know this option is the best one very well. But theres a huge population of voters who stand against them.

A Dialogue on the UK's Accession to the United States (UKEXIT)

A Dialogue on the UK's Accession to the United States Executive Summary This initiative seeks to foster a formal dialogue regarding the potential accession of the countries of the United Kingdom , to the United States , as individual states.  Being English the main focus is for the country of England to accede. The original intent was to ask the government to lead on it through a petition leading to the question coming before the House of Commons. This was crushed out of hand by the committee leading petitions, which was not a surprise.  Simply put, this petition is asking the government to start a conversation about the benefits of leaving the UK and joining the United States. Let us call the initiative UKEXIT (yukezit) The objective is to evaluate the benefits to citizens and stakeholders, encouraging a constructive discourse on the political, economic, and social implications of such a union. If Wales , Northern Ireland , Scotland , or  England were to leave the Unit...

The 450 Volt Truth: From Orwell to Obedience

A Complete Thread on Dystopia, Milgram, and Breaking the Agentic State - Why People Act Irrationally and Often Violently When a Tribal Social Structure and Its Hierarchy Are Brought Under Serious Scrutiny This is a tricky topic. Please read the Obedience Glossary of Terms before proceeding Executive Summary This piece was written from a long conversation with Grok. I had to interrogate the AI quite a bit. And was astonished at how it produced such intelligence. I've included the most pertinent parts. Do not be fooled into thinking this is just another Orwell analysis. That is just setting the scene well. For what comes later on the agentic state and how power uses it to control the masses.  It may not have all the answers. It might wrong. A lot of it is very hard to believe is happening. But it still seems to fit the bizarre world of system wide dissonance we all live and partake in today, better than all the alternatives. So deserves your continued attention. By all means make yo...

Government & Tax Death Toll

I'm going to show you how government and taxation causes more excess death than any other factor, even global wars and pandemics. It is and always has been the biggest genocide of all. And its deliberate. Government doesn’t just fail to save lives — it takes them, at scale.  2–6 million globally 200K–400K in the U.S. 50K–80K in the UK Every year. Every tax. Every regulation. Cumulatively since 1970 government and tax killed between 160 and 300 million people across the globe  More than all 20th century wars and genocides combined (260M) In the U.S. ten times more than all U.S. combat deaths in history (10 * 1.2M) In the UK equivalent to 1 in 15 of all deaths And the nations with more regulations and a higher tax to GDP ratio such as the UK and US, tend to kill more of their own citizens per capita. The poorest nations have a better record than the richest. All this excess death is rooted in the institutions of taxation - the theft of private property, by force, against your fr...
