    Recently, I encountered a weird little problem. An inconsistent little problem, too. On a Linux host, I have two Linux virtual machines configured in VirtualBox, both Kubuntu 24.04. One uses LUKS encryption, set up as part of the operating system installation, the other does not. Both use Guest Additions, installed from the official repositories. The former throws an error.

Virtually every job (with the exception of the executive jobs in the US) is outsourced to these countries even if does not raise even a penny in revenue and the job can be eliminated. It is the reason why Alvind get his medals from Modi for his "job migration and transfer" services to the motherland. [21:43] schestowitz[TR2] AI is efficient and cost effective, so why are the jobs being sent anywhere outside the US ? Alvind talked about elimination more than 10 thousand jobs in the US in 2024 as a result of AI implmentation. So how are these eliminated jobs popping up in India? Another "Lift and Shift" operation under the table from corrupt IBM India management ? IBM has become nothing more than another employer for India's workers, even if the workers [21:43] schestowitz[TR2] are not generating any sustainable profit for the company. It's an unsustainable enterprise for the long term. No company, especially IBM which is losing revenue every quarter needs 270 THOUSAND workers ! That number needs to be reduced to 27 THOUSAND. Yesterday. [21:43] schestowitz[TR2] If you are in the US, contact your local State Representatives and Senators and let them know that this jobs migration by IBM 9still a public US company) has to stop. It is nothing but a scam run by Alvind Klishna and his cabal of crooked IBM executives.

[21:43] schestowitz[TR2] IBM has been shrinking for decades, yet we still have all those jobs? Why? What is going on in India? What do they really do over there? Am I to believe that we have hundreds of thousands of foreigners doing sales, consulting and tech support? Really? [21:43] schestowitz[TR2] At one time, I could understand the desire for labor arbitrage. I didn't agree with it, but I could understand it. That was many divisions ago...but now? What does IBM do with its alleged 270 thousand employees? I don't see THAT many mainframe sales...I don't hear about THAT much IBM-brand software being sold. What are they all doing?
