Comment Re: Trump is a symptom, not a cause (Score 0) 155

I agree trump is a symptom, and so is early 21st century economic policy. The cause is the ancient human tendency toward dominance and hoarding. That tendancy can and has on occasion been constrained by morals and population unity. The current tool of the most physically dominant among us is neoliberalism, and it is that which may be dismantled thereby allowing for more equitable distribution of resources. Neoliberalismâ(TM)s core lie is that every individual has the power to achieve material dominace and self-determination.

A warning to the well meaning on /.: we may mean well but we are still highly privileged. And even for us, maybe especially for us, when we are used to privilege, equality feels like oppression.

Operating a single f35 for a year takes more money than this entire project so far. There is lots of waste in govt to be sure. But if itâ(TM)s even halfway competent, basic science ainâ(TM)t it. Regardless of what conclusions might be made based on the observations, collecting more data like this is rarely bad.

They *can* be good, theyâ(TM)ve just not been well executed.

Rogue one and Solo were both almost good, Season one of Mandolorian was pretty good. I know many a nerd who is non middle aged white male who like some other stuff, and thatâ(TM)s important to me, too. Star trek is similar.

Is really about the real estate. Vacant space is a liability. Sometimes useful as such, sometimes not. In most orgs right now, not that many folks are actually doing the work. CSR, some front end developers. Most of the rest are shuffling papers and having meetings and âoenetworking.â Occupancy and real estate development are largely investment games.

Weâ(TM)ve known at least since the 1950s that industries like insurance (not the same as utilizing the economics of risk pools mind you) cost more to exist than they provide in value (as R. Buckminster Fuller). WFH v. RTO just highlights this.
