China built an economy that's like 50% based on bullshitting to your superiors about how much infrastructure you built.

Can't be just an oversight. This has to be an intentional design decision. The "simple" (and economical) way to build this system is to build it so that the scan reads the price from a database and that price is then displayed and used to sum the total.

Keeping two prices, a display and a real one, is a design decision that adds a complexity to the system, makes it more difficult to administer and is an intentional design decision, especially if the numbers are allowed to differ.

A coupon not being applied correctly could be a mistake with that coupon. A sale not being taken into account, a problem with that sale or that UPC entry in the database. Those could be issues with data entry and data management.

This is different. This is intentional. And I'd bet, we've just found someone either cheating the tax man or embezzling funds.

If there're two different items calculations one "real" one and "display" that's an intentional choice made because they know there can be discrepancies.

Did they call someone over when they saw the discrepancy? Because, you know, mistakes happen.

Not in software. The software is doing exactly what it was programmed to do.

Biden didn't have to cave, he chose to. He said this thing that I said was a top priority for my campaign isn't a top priority for my administration. And politically he's going to pay a penalty to the faction of his coalition to whom forgiveness was a top priority.

That's what happens when you lie to gain support.

Read the fuck up on what good they have done and i think you'll be suprised.

I understand what they've done. But Biden didn't promise to "do something." He promised broad forgiveness. And it was clear that many Dems were going to hold him to it. He shouldn't be surprised he's not getting credit for half measures, especially when he had the power to keep student loans deferred.

Do you have any evidence that suggests they were Hamas missiles?

Yes the articles linked in the Wikipedia page.

Ceasefires are victories for Hamas, not something they'd want to get around.

If you'd read the article you'd see that ceasefire for Hamas are routinely violated by them with no consequences.

There's not a consensus among judges.

Had the Dems done an actual impeachment of Trump, called witnesses and the like, and got a conviction this question would already be answered around the nation. But the half assed it and now we're here.

Dead Palestinians is a Hamas war goal.

2.) Russia will not accept Ukraine being allowed into any military alliance with NATO, and will not accept them being a member.

Russia wasn't going to accept Finland and Sweeden's entries either. Russia doesn't get a choice in the matter.

I'm going to defer on the internal politics. But a strong political faction committed to continuing the war could absolutely delay a ceasefire in an "out of supplies" situation.
