Thank you, enlightened hacker. I will only respond to far-right gibberish with voluminous essays from now on.
I don't think that would make it any more likely to convince them, and I do not owe anyone my time for their indulgence. The best I can hope for is that they take a look in the mirror at some point, so I'll stick to that.
If there's no due process for everyone, that distinction literally does not matter in the slightest!
Dozens of citizens could have been sent into slave labor for all we know, and no judge has been able to provide the constitutionally mandated oversight. It has been upheld many times and for hundreds of years that the Due Process clause applies to non-citizens for this reason.
There's a lot of truth to that. Older projects often get bogged down by new security & compliance horizontals, to the point where maintenance is just no longer worth it.
Technically yes, but "promo committee" has also changed to be your immediate org instead of being independent. Which makes your promo more dependent on your manager's influence.
