Why work in industry or research when you could instead be working for John Flynt Inc., in which your work gets stolen after you are paid $1 and then fired?

Another nail in the GiantSpaceKat / Revolution 60 coffin. Frank and Bribri forgot to pay taxes (not very patriotic!) and the parent company Chessboard Holdings LLC was canceled last June.

He's fucking retarded. The big consulting firms, mostly in NYC, have some of the smartest people in data and databases working for them and almost all of them work with Democrats. Democrats don't lose elections because they don't know how to print a walk sheet and do targeted ads. It's their big advantage and one that offsets to an extent the demographic advantages the GOP has outside the big cities.
 
Compare and contrast Wu's self review ("I am a great project manager.") vs what James Tison had to say:

Mainly though, I found the executive director’s management style to be chaotic, aggressive, and not great with boundaries (for myself and in the way she treated various freelancers). Instructions that made no sense, constantly changing deadlines and expectations, and a general aura of overt bossiness.

Perhaps Scam PAC needs to institute 360 degree reviews so the dear leader knows how others see her.

R2, get the autism tag online...I'm going in

"in tech" - it's just a fucking buzzword. Medical ceramics are "tech", but I'm not sure how making precision joint components is going to help . It just doesn't mean anything in this context (or lack of context as the case may be)

"built on large data, digital tools and analytics...We have an intuitive understanding"

Wait, so John has an intuitive understanding of analytics!?!
ummm, uhhh, those are basically antonyms

Intuition:
the power or faculty of attaining to direct knowledge or cognition without evident rational thought and inference

Analytics:
the systematic computational analysis of data or statistics

The whole point behind data analytics is you systematize..you run the numbers and you very well might find NON- or even COUNTER-intuitive patterns, values, or structures

You literally have invaluable skills
literally John? literally? well, that doesn't sound very data analytics driven to just say we can't assign a valuation to the parameter.
Maybe you need to do more "quanting" (ooh, I can buzzword too)to determine a valuation

"I'm not even that good"
oh dear, all those other Unreal Engine people must feel like shit
Bri Bri beat out all but around 20 of them and he's not even very good. It doesn't speak to highly of the Unreal Engine development scene

"My project management experience"
Well, besides being bullshit, we'll just let that one go
PM isn't "tech" or isolated to tech. Management is a different discipline -- for instance someone ACTUALLY running a.. wait for is...SUCCESSFUL campaign or is doing ACTUAL legislation is working with project management.
Except the real diff is, their projects actually got somewhere

"drag an idea across the finish line"
ugh, he does get that dragging something across the finish line means it's not functioning on its own. So John is going to foist non-functioning ideas onto whatever hapless organization has the misfortune to interact with John

What lousy timing. Just when John was thinking of launching a new software company.

He's thinking that game programmers would revolutionize the field because they program in ones and zeroes and use Unreal(and in the words of Wu, that is the hardest one).

I assume he would also like to supervise the workers and hang over their should to inject as much leadership as possible while they try to work. I imagine him being like a cross dressing pointy haired boss from Dilbert, *points at the screen* "do more programming there".

John wants to the world to recognize his talents and skills. That is all.

He does not care about doing anything though. He just expects you to understand how great he is. This succeeds because people and the media are stupid. He is called a "software developer" despite no evidence of it. He has no contributions to public projects. Never released anything on his own or even in a small collab. Same goes for his investigative journalism career. His life is lie after lie. That is fine a for a nobody like John, but not really okay when the media is repeating his lies.

He just keeps getting away with it because idiots like his stories. John considering starting a competitor to NGP Van should result in people saying "do it, software engineer", but no one will or question why he is not.

This was the lesson in every post-Hillary debacle post-mortem, including her own, they had massive amounts of data from everywhere, nobody who knew how to actually read it and an assumption that because they had all that data they knew literally everything. People in Michigan were calling Brooklyn HQ and saying "we're down, we need more resources, we need Obama to swing by or at least Biden" and Brooklyn would tell them back "the data says you're up five points, no, we need to try to focus on Texas" because surely all the data had that been wrong in the primary against Bernie couldn't also be wrong in the general against Trump. The data said that was impossible.

In Hillary's case this was even funnier because this was the same thing that had happened in 2008, they refused to believe anything that indicated Obama was surging. All the data said she was a lock, she just had to ride it out!

edit: To clarify a bit, the problem was less with the data itself than what data the campaign wanted and chose to look at. 2008 was so notorious for this that they overcorrected in 2016 and swamped themselves with mostly irrelevant data. But the problem was always what they'd choose to accept, one of the biggest was an assumption that Hillary would win white woman by default, anything that said Trump wasn't a disaster with them was obviously an outlier that was wrong.

If it was easy any retard would do it. Wu treating "data" like some magic bullet that just spits out campaign victories is asinine. I can pretty much guarantee Wu bought every single list he could find in his own campaign and probably spent much more on it than the incumbent and still got his ass beat. Data doesn't make a politician likeable or charismatic or a good public speaker.

People that actually run and win campaigns for a living will almost always tell you the most important thing is finding good candidates. I haven't been in the industry since around 2011 but I can tell you that even in 2011 everybody treated the data and stats seriously. If the data said our folks were getting hammered on something we'd make an actionable solution. The "actionable solution" of course doesn't always work. If your candidate goes to a meeting of jewish voters to try and make inroads after the data guy says you're down 5 points on them and has a blunder like "I promise to bring home the bacon to this district!" no fucking data is gonna save you. That example if something that actually happened in NYC politics when I was working in it.
 
John's problem solving method seems to be: be told about problem, refuse to try to understand it, insert techy phrase like "engineering" or "data", assume this operates like magic, order someone else to do it, declare victory regardless. Sprinkle "Gamergate" to taste.

HIS NAME WAS ROBBY MOOK. Well, still is, but was, too. Anyone who hires this absolute fucking idiot over some snake-monster-serial killer like Carville is a moron.

Rip in pieces to one of the last vestigial remnants of John's failed game designer career. Websites are all down, company is officially defunct, and you can't even buy it on the App Store anymore. About the only evidence that John had a hand in making a game that persists to this day (not including videos of the game) is that you can still get Rev60 on Steam.

On a side note, I wasn't aware of this before I looked just now, but in a case of dead cow crossover, I noticed that the top Rev60 Steam review is by none other than the deceased Lowtax. Dead game, dead reviewer.

Really, it's par for the course for John whenever one of his stunts fails to pan out in providing him all the asspats and fake clout he desires. As soon as that happens, he immediately loses all interest and drops it like a rock, forgetting about everything to do with the scam and letting it all fade away due to neglect while he pursues his latest obsession.

It was likely only the continued persistence of GethN7 that got John to finish releasing Rev60 on PC; without that, he probably would have ignored the Kickstarter backers entirely while he milked GG for all it was worth. Made sense to him at the time, since his Patreon was over $4k/month of free money while fulfilling his Kickstarter was actual work for no additional pay. And then he neglected his Patreon and his faux-victimhood in favor of his scampaign runs...then he neglected those in favor of being REEbellionPAC's "executive director." Considering how much he's already neglecting that "job" and how much it's failing (how'd that Nina Turner campaign work out, John?), it's only a matter of time before he moves on to the next scam.

The only thing John neglects more than his failed scams is his dogs.
