Programmer Wanted
I am seeking a christian/conservative programmer to help develop a product aimed at a conservative/republican audience in the U.S and elsewhere.
The product is going to be a program that monitors all websites that the user visits, however when the user is about to visit a site that has a 'liberal bias' (a database of such sites will be maintained by us), the program will show a warning sign to the user, saying 'this website has a liberal bias' similar to how google can show you a warning sometimes saying 'this website can harm your computer'. There will be a 'skip' button which will let them go to the website anyhow, but by then they would know that the website in question is unGodly.
I honestly can't tell if it's real or not.

Money-eating Computer Virus
Mr. Davidson, 58, knows music, not necessarily computers. A pianist, he is president and founder of a nonprofit sacred-music group in Katonah, N.Y., where he lives. He is also the great-grandson and the great-grandnephew of the two brothers who founded Schlumberger Ltd., the giant oilfield-services company.
Mr. Davidson worried that the music he had composed and saved on the computer could be lost. The owner of the shop, Vickram Bedi, 36, confirmed that there was a virus on Mr. Davidson’s computer, a virus Mr. Bedi said was so troublesome that it had also damaged the shop’s computers, officials said.
That was only the beginning. Over time, prosecutors said, Mr. Bedi told Mr. Davidson about an elaborate international conspiracy that had attacked Mr. Davidson’s computer and was threatening Mr. Davidson and his family. The conspiracy allegedly involved a mysterious hard drive in a remote village of Honduras and a plot to infiltrate the United States government by Polish priests linked to Opus Dei. Mr. Bedi persuaded Mr. Davidson to pay the computer shop not only for data retrieval, but for personal protection, the authorities said.
It was, of course, a fraud, officials said. For more than six years, the computer shop, Datalink Computer Products, regularly charged Mr. Davidson’s credit card accounts. The charges totaled more than $6 million, according to the office of the Westchester County district attorney, Janet DiFiore. It took months for investigators with the police in Harrison, N.Y., and other agencies to unravel the many twists and turns of the case.
Our Stupid Country
Short version of this this story on NPR:
The US is the world's largest cotton producer. The US government subsidizes cotton farmers, in violation of trade rules. We've lost multiple cases at the World Trade Organization over this, in fact. Brazil's cotton farmers are pissed about this, because our subsidies reduce the price they can charge for their cotton. In retaliation, they got their government to threaten US businesses with a bunch of tariffs. These US businesses got the US government to fix the problem... and the US government fixed it by ...
How fucking stupid is that ?
We pay Brazilian farmers a subsidy to allow them to compete with our farmers, to whom we also pay a subsidy which allows them to compete with other farmers.

In the future, when competition in trash collection is outlawed, only outlaws will drive garbage trucks. and they’ll revel in their freedom on Sundays, eluding the Eyes of the State, far outside the Wire, where their white-haired uncles wait. They’ll go barreling down the country roads in their brilliant orange and white Eurocargo 180E28s, lovingly preserved relics from a better, vanished, time. Shifting, grinding gears, backup beeping, straining the limits of machine and men, hot metal and oil. The illicit smells of diesel, sour milk, cat shit and spoiled chicken from years past wafting into the cabin.
