"And the UK handed you the brand new computer industry on a plate by destroying all the computers it had built during the war while not requiring that you do the same with the licensed copies you had built."

The UK decided to destroy its computers on its own, don't blame us for your idiocy. "Require"? What were you going to "require" we do? And how were you going to enforce this "requirement"?

And what licensed copies are you talking about? Britain shared the Bombe (which was basically an upgraded version of the one the Polish built, but of course Brits insist they're the geniuses who broke Enigma), but ENIAC was a US production.

Boths sides are bad is incredibly lazy given today's landscape. To make an analogy. You are trying to argue that stealing a loaf of bread is just as bad as robbing a bank.

Yes, both sides definitely have their problems, when it comes to election denialism you are talking entirely different planets. Nobody rioted for Gore like they did for Trump; there were tons of legitimate issues with that election and the review and subsequent audit process after lead to a stronger and more secure system as it should. Those reforms were based on actual facts and not "feelings."

Contrast that with January 6thers and it's a completely different story. Many of those people were straight up lied to about the evidence at hand and they were too stupid to understand that ballots are not the same even in a single state, ordering ballots from China would not accomplish anything.

Statistically you can even look at the quantity of lying from one side versus the other and it becomes quite a stark contrast. Yeah, tons of Dems lie and frankly lie about incredibly stupid things, the sheer quantity doesn't even compare, however.

You can even look statistically at right wing media versus left wing media and the amount of outright lying is not even close.

Thankfully we live in an era where actually independent media is able to speak more and more. I don't agree with most of what Joe Rogan says, but it sure appears he can actually say whatever the hell he wants instead of some unknown and unaccountable billionaire like Larry Ellison or the Murdochs.

As much as I despise a lot of what this current administration is doing, we still have to acknowledge when they do something right. With the facts currently at hand this seems like they are doing the right thing here and I encourage them to do more right things!

What still remains to be seen is whether Microsoft will announce some sort of investment and then this issue goes away. These tactics are pretty common these days. We no longer enforce antitrust laws regardless of who's in power, so it is no mystery that mega-corps are running wild.
