You can't go after people who claim to live in one of their extra homes for tax purposes but in reality are cheating the people of your state! That's so unfair, they might have to sell one of their vacation homes or even their yacht!

"The rich" = "people who have more than I do".

Most people posting here would be considered "the rich" by Joe Democrat.

Envy is the fuel that engine runs on.

Have we given up on the word "misogynistic" having any meaning whatsoever anymore? If you took the subset of deepfake porn that targets men we wouldn't say it's often misandrist. That word has become used as "something potentially negatively affecting a woman," which isn't what it actually means.

Not to mention that nobody can even define a woman anymore. That might complicate things ...

That was 12 years ago. A 12 year out of date critique of a web technology that has had ongoing language updates and two entire rewrites in that interval should be viewed with some suspicion. Also, are you really just citing the title of the article and none of the content?

I'm not even defending PHP here, just questioning lazy kneejerk, "but it sucked once, so now I hate it forever" thinking.

I've seen the "when the power goes out comment before", but it makes no sense. It's not like people are driving with a bunch of extension cords. Presumably when the power goes out you didn't leave your car uncharged. Also, when the power goes out the gas pumps shut off at the gas station. You can store extra gas for your car, but you can just as easy for a generator too.

You can not do repairs or inspections of any substance in a few hours at a natural gas plant. The turbines and boilers need a couple of days before it cools down enough to insert a bore scope without melting. You would also not be messing with pumps, filters, or anything else in the timespan of a few hours, as you wouldn't know when a dispatch order could come.
