That's actually capitalism at work there,
Also, for a lot of us, a months salary might just only cover a weekend in our normal residence, especially in New York City, so what's your point?

The freedom of speech only prevents the government from censoring most speech.
Some speech has always been excluded from being restricted, such as slander, and things that are likely to cause harm. (Shouting "FIRE" in a theater is the common example.)

The company does have some safe harbor with regards to what users post, but first of all, there's no legal issue with being proactive and heading off troublemakers before somebody gets you into court over what some user said. Whether the company is protected or not, the court case can be rather expensive to win either way.

All these things mean that non government organizations/companies can mute, block, ban, delete, or kick off both posts and their users as appropriate, and for pretty much whatever reason they want, especially if the post or user violates the posted rules.

Blocking the elected officials that handle diplomatic actions is pretty stupid as it's closing off diplomatic possibilities without any benefit at all.
As to the others, nobody cares, they aren't US diplomats or even elected officials.

I know the career diplomats are not "elected", but I believe they usually get their posts from an elected official.
And let's not forget that PotUS and VP often do diplomatic visits.

There's "Disposable", and there's "Cheap ass crap that won't survive it's intended operating theater long enough to do it's job".

I know hobbyists that would be embarrassed if they ever used duct tape outside of an unavoidable in the field emergency repair.

This isn't Junkyard Wars or a Post Apocalypse situation, it's "military equipment" that was supplied to the Russian Military. So it's supposedly designed by engineers and built by professionals. The plastic bottle top & cap, as well as the duct tape clearly indicate this wasn't made by professionals, designed by an engineer, or built for a military contract, unless of course the Russian procurers and inspectors were completely incompetent and corrupt.

But you can bet putin is totally embarrassed by his garage bashed R/C toy.

Sure it's rational to go cheaper and treat it as a large quantity of disposable tools, but unless you actually expect to have huge percentage of losses, it's better to build something more reliable and durable.
No, that doesn't take a billion dollar drone despite what certain people want you to think, but this one is just plain cheaped out and rank amateur hour type stuff.

In many cases the at home workers have an increased productivity, while many of the managers have been clearly shown to be redundant, unnecessary, or even a drag on functionality and productivity middleman.

Companies can do better by ditching the top heavy manager cruft, and as they need far less office space, they can reduce expenses by downsizing the square footage. It'll could save them some serious $$$

Oh gawd NO!!!!
Let the customer give their specifications, don't let them in most of the meetings, or rather don't let them in any of the actual meetings, but have an occasional meeting with them to "touch base".
Set an absolute date for feature lock, PERIOD EXCLAMATION POINT
The more access the customer has, the more they want to fiddle with it, change things, add more features, and completely screw up it's capability to do the job it was intended for in the first place! I've seen this happen...

"I need to talk to the head developer!"
"He needs to make a custom virus definitions so I can get rid of the solitaire app from the network."
--"I'm sorry sir, but this Solitaire is neither a virus nor malware, so we will not assign resources for that. Have you set your administration rules to remove Solitaire?"
"Yes, but my users changed it's name so I can't delete it"
--"You could try office policy to ban the usage of Solitaire"
"Well, then just tell me how to make my own virus definitions."
--"No sir, that would be a huge violation of security precepts, user trust, and industrial secrets."
-- Hearing the customer terminate the call in anger, I check his file and find out he's a troublemaker that often demands insane things. I feel sorry for the employees at his work, but at least they're smarter than he is...

Use a low backed chair and a tight focus, preferably with a selected background image.

Burnout is real, and I've seen it happen to plenty of people.
It's definitely a problem, and a decent company will try to limit it as much as is reasonably possible, and it will still be an issue.
A bad company will completely ignore it and have a huge employee churn.

There are things that can be done to reduce it more effectively that aren't horribly expensive, though they aren't popcorn prices.
The problems I can see are nobody has done it that I know of, a lot of people wouldn't be too accepting of it, and it would have to be tailored to the environment/job.

I'd say Registrationisdumb83 has a decent idea for the current situation, but as Suricouraven points out, it's still needs improvements.

I'll just add that currently the copyright as... errr.. industry, is using pretty incompetent and horribly basic scripts to find "ip violations". Their false positive rate is atrocious, and even after it's supposedly examined by a human, it's still rife with false DMCAs. Also, have them pay the bill for the server, this is all to their benefit and profit after all, so they should foot the freaking bill.

I'm currently of the opinion that anything in "copyright bills" that comes through is a bad idea, because basically that's all they've been for over 3 decades now.

Now that's funny!

No idea why none of the folks in the "group" back then didn't think of it, but it would be relatively easy to do.
The commodore 64 had nicer sprites, and more of them, but the atari 800 had a different type of sprites that might be easier to do that with, and could easily be full screen sized without pixelating any more than you wanted if you don't exceed the resolution capability of it.
The differences in sprites between the two was bigger than it might seem, but both had definite advantages depending on use. Good programming could make either about as good as the other, it just took a bit more work and understanding of the systems.

Some cities the police have thousands, of untested rape kits. If the testing isn't done, it's worse than useless.
The usual excuses are lack of manpower and lack of funding.
Yet it seems they have plenty of officers on the roads waiting for someone to go 5mph over the limit, and enough money to filed huge teams of cops in full military level gear that even the military only uses for special squads because it's too bloody expensive!
(I'm not even going to go into the police depts. that have military tanks...)

Although with the issue directly at hand, I consider my DNA profile to be a medical record. If anyone other than my physicians doesn't have a valid search warrant for it, they bloody well better not go poking their nose into it!

They may be able to survive the weather, but what about the residents?

Also climate deniers are very confused by the cold weather that's been nailing the eastern US the past couple of years.
They often understand it's because of a cold mass of polar air coming down to the region, but they don't understand that it's going there because it's being pushed by an immense mass of warmer air.
Then they also don't seem to understand that weather and climate are different things.
I halfway expect a lot of them to think it's raining everywhere when it rains where they are.

Reduces temp because of albedo.
If there's less IR getting below the clouds, the clouds have less to reflect back down.
