The systemd version takes a similar approach - only handling the 99.9% use case of running a local command as a different user based on some basic rules and only really providing a userspace implementation without suid.

IIRC that use case is about 15% of OG sudo's code but most distros carry around all the features. I dunno, maybe it can be compiled without those but I don't see that in distros I've used.

Corporatism is a distinct concept from Capitalism. That's the one you're describing. There's been a psyop by Socialists to describe corporatism as capitalism so they get more of a merger of business and State (fascism).

Corporations are creations of a government in which governments get a cut and politicians get bribes in exchange for protection from justice for the corporate actors' crimes.

If you read Adam Smith he described this as Mercantilism in his time and recommended free market capitalism as its antidote with an emphasis on the accumulation of capital and investment into more competitive production.

Von Mises fleshed this out more a couple centuries later (followed by Hayek and Rothbard). The definitive work is /Man, Economy, and State/ which breaks it all down in tremendous detail.

Notably corporations in the early USA were limited to public works projects and had time-limited grants (e.g. for building a bridge or later the railroads).

JD Rockefeller bribed Congress during Reconstruction to make corporations permanent, so he wouldn't lose his charter for Standard Oil. He later wrote the Sherman Anti-trust Act to hurt his competition.

Today we have immortal psychopathic corporations with a legal mandate to be depraved and with legal personhood. The Dulles brothers created the CIA to fight wars and conduct assassinations on behalf of the corporations. cf. United Fruit or the Pepsi War.

After the Revolution remember to forbid corporations. The Gini Coefficient is too damn high.

Hot dog on a bun with glyphosate, chips with BHT, ketchup with HFCS, pickles with Polysorbate 80, and a large Coke.

Hot dog caused Diabetes! Q.E.D.

This is why every civilization for thousands of years have made sausages. To make everybody fat and insulin dependent!

TRUST THE EXPERTS.

Confiscate foreign investment? Already happened. USA robbed Russias bank accounts of 300 billion dollars. The whole world stood up and took notice. Why do you think there is such a push for BRICS? Which will have its own currency that the Americans can't touch.

After an Iranian missile hit, at least, the parking lot of Microsoft Israel, several reports came out saying that they were helping the IDF with genocide operations in Gaza.

I don't know if it's true but those are the real reports.

The timing and 'quiet' character suggests Pakistan might have told them to get the hell out.

"Developing story" as they say.

The last I saw, 50% of peer-reviewed papers can't be reproduced. So a 40-60% funding cut is probably about right.

How common of a name is Soham Parekh in India?

At one time I was in a tech group with three Mike Johnsons. Assuredly different people, though slightly confusing.

But I don't really feel sorry for these startups going for global minimum wage and getting burned.

Hire an American named Steve from Akron and you'll be less likely to be scammed.

If only Democrats were capable of lying. If they had lied and said they knew what a woman is, all of this could have been avoided and Officer Harris could be back to jailing black men for weed.

Democrats don't know what a woman is. in the beginning, God made zman in the image of himself. That's overtly hostile. But come on, we already know what Democrats, Europeans and the entire world think of American Christians.

Covid. Gov : " A lab-related incident involving gain-of-function research is the most likely origin of COVID-19. Current government mechanisms for overseeing this dangerous gain-of-function research are incomplete, severely convoluted, and lack global applicability."

This will weaken the fascist racist US state and can only be applauded.

Haha. Americans are bigots and can't stand living in other countries. It's the smell. BTW European research funding is a joke.

The USA was always a fascist world bully that nobody wanted. Now these racists are getting what they deserve? Excellent!NIH lied about COVID-19 as COVID.gov tells us in fact checked truth.

Understand this is not what it seems. This is the swamp being drained by Trump and the swamp doesn't like it one bit. This swamp is utterly hostile to the American people, as the COVID fraud revealed. See COVId.gov "By nearly all measures of science, if there was evidence of a natural origin it would have already surfaced. But it hasnâ(TM)t."

Those basket of deplorables get what they deserve.
