Is that what the guy on record for stating "If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor" said to you?

It's repulsive the sort of tactics that commie chinamen will stoop to, putting backdoors into their products like that. Why, here in America, those are 'features' that you consent to by opening the package, as documented on page 46 of the EULA, as interpreted in mandatory binding arbitration by the company's legal team! It must suck to live in such a benighted, unfree, country, where your cellphone is probably spying on you and may well come preloaded with malware...

I didn't say that. I said their system had the resiliency to survive severe sanctions and externally imposed economic isolation. For example, ships that dock in Cuban ports are not permitted to dock at US ports.

Honestly the US embargo is the dumbest policy conceivable. If it hadn't been in place, chances are high that the people in Cuba, immersed in the world economy and saturated by mainstream western "culture", would have made substantial changes to their government policies by now.

Since 1996, the US has a law which penalizes foreign companies that do business in Cuba by preventing them from doing business in the U.S.

The Cuban people survived 55 years of near total trade embargo, with universal healthcare intact, and no one starving in the streets.

A definite failure if I ever heard of one.

because it's too damn cold on this planet.

Couldn't the brilliant engineering minds and business minds who built this put their brains to work on some technology that is actually going in the right direction?
Please remember we need to be substantially off fossil fuels by mid-century. Time is ticking.

Now, I'm no optimist on the imminent-coming-of-strong-AI; but this I do know: The University of Chicago does not specialize in producing lefty-pinko-economists. They have departments with a much stronger liberal bent; but econ sure as hell isn't one of them. It's pretty much the altar of Milton Friedman, the school that made the 'Chicago boys' of Latin American, um, repute. If the UofC says that robots are screwing the proletariat, I'm going to err on the side of caution and suspect that the proletariat is screwed...

Where's our Communist Manifesto installment, Mr. Fulldiaper?

So you're saying that all of this nonsense ISN'T an example of a sliding definition being used in memetic warfare? Are you going to trot out the objective truth, so we can get all opinions calibrated? Please do, sir: your credibility would be helped immensely thereby.

So you're saying the basics of singular vs. plural elude you? Does this signal the onset of another of your hyper-materialist menstruations?

Understood: you got nothin'.

It's quite blatantly obvious that you've never deployed, much less served, in the military.
While service members take a generally libertarian view of what people are getting up to in private, the actual business of being in a military unit is surprisingly sex-free. The co-ed nature of line units is a policy decision foisted by Progressives.
There is a distinction to be drawn between racial integration, which makes massive sense, and co-ed units, which add zero (0) combat value to units.
If you took a truly anonymous survey of our military, I predict you'd find a plurality that, while freely admitting that they serve with some excellent ladies (I know I did) would still taper off their participation to a minimum. Because you Don't. Win. Wars. With. Social. Engineering.
Then again, our contemporary policy doesn't seem to be about winning wars. So keep the ladies around, I guess.

Nor did I.

You can say it's "rationalizing", but you understand that "we" is plural and "I" is singular?

That's actually one of the impressive things about the brain: despite its complexity it is resilient enough that the medical literature is full of (sometimes literal) banging on the brain with a hammer that ends up being nonlethal and having some sort of interesting effect.
