“the benefits” that’s a good one. I have worked long enough in tech and with the government to know how this will work out. chuckles

Similar applications don’t have to be programmed from scratch every time.

This sounds exactly like a COBOL programmer turned manager I met early in my career.

Major projects can share expertise and costs.

As opposed to tossing a dead raccoon over each other’s yard until somebody has to clean it up. Because I cannot imagine such office politics in the government.

Applications paid by the public should be available for everyone.

I demand my right to access military supplies management software code. And a nice Makefile to build that thing at home. Yeah, I have the right to that shit too. For recreational purposes.

With transparent processes, others don’t have to reinvent the wheel.

Now this is some fancy gourmet quality Dilbert’s pointy haired boss shit right there, oh yeah.

Dunno folks, I’m not convinced.

Oh

I think Chickenstalker probably meant SEA=South East Asia

Don’t they call it the pendulum of history or something like that? This one has a shorter string and goes faster.

Maybe they’re using the tried-and-tested strategy of targeting UN forces to make them leave. It happened in Rwanda too, they killed those Belgian peacekeepers and then Belgium and France pulled out. Shortly after that, the Rwandan start their genocide. At least the Israelis seem to have just wounded the peacekeepers, unlike the Rwandan, who hacked the Belgian with machetes. Nevertheless, it doesn’t look very promising.

The worst part is that you may be right

Edit: grammar

What goes around, comes around.

This is a masterpiece!

I haven’t heard those names in a long time…

Looks to me like a natural choice: the visible head of Hamas, which is the enemy. I don’t think Israel is interested in peace negotiations, so it is also a way to say they don’t care and they will wipe out everyone there. Which is in line with everything else Bibi & company have been saying and doing.

I personally avoid Tim’s like the plague. If no other choice is available, Starbucks it is.
