Jumping the shark. Technology has jumped the shark when it is has finally succumbed to progress and requires an end-user-accessible reset button in order to ensure it will continue to function after repeated use.

I am coining a new phrase.
Sunday, March 28th, 2010Governments and large political parties
Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010The democrats want to steal from the rich and give to the poor.
The republicans want the rich to get richer which has the unfortunate side effect of making the poor poorer.
Stealing is out of the question. You do not have the right to just take what is mine.
Living in a world where the rich take advantage of the poor isn’t illegal but still is not a great way to live. The system won’t function that way forever.
Seems to me, both ways are broken. Democrats and republicans both lose.
Governments are guaranteed to fail.
In the rich times, they wouldn’t dare give back tax money, they can’t hold on to it and save it for a rainy day (all that unspent money? just sitting there? no way)
No they just spend more and make government bigger. Then during the lean times, when there isn’t as much tax revenue, they can’t make their payments to fund this larger government they have built.
And they fail.
