There's a lot of things corporations do that is not "capitalism" in the free-market sense. It's more corporate feudalism.
Russia does not have much of a military left. If/when they lose Crimea to Ukraine, it will be a very long time before Russia can go back. They have problems brewing in the East as well . . .
Otherwise, Ukraine does not need to "hold territory" with missiles and drones. They can afford to bleed out the Russians to the point where they surrender or (if possible) flee. Also the way things are going, Ukraine won't be using conventional armored columns for door-to-door fighting once the time comes:
Meta is not the only bad employer out there. But given the enormous amount of talent that filters through Meta on a regular basis, it is quite probable that ex-Meta employees could create their own startup and set their own rules - including rules that do not require keyloggers on work machines.
Ukraine has already "gone to Moscow" with drones and missiles. They can hit targets over a thousand miles into Russian territory. Apparently they've also cut off Crimea. That's the actual target - not Moscow. No telling how long it will take for them to gain operational control of Crimea, but the groundwork is being laid now. Crimea is all but cut off from resupply, and now it's just a matter of starving out the Russians while picking away at their remaining defenses.
Putin's most ardent supporters in the media and blogosphere started turning on him months ago. He's sacked enough of his cronies already that it's unclear how much support he has left in his own government. There's no telling how much longer he'll last or how much longer the rest of Russia will be willing to keep up this war. Everyone knows Putin fucked up. He has to keep the war going to maintain his own office. Without it, his government and much of his wartime economic stance will collapse.

The NSA can hit them with a letter and force them to open up all their systems. And those guys are probably qualified to assess what's going on.
Aedes aegypti mosquitos are an invasive species. They should be completely eradicated in North America (at the very least).
You can serve up ads to anyone. No need for extensive brainwashing. People already put up with that shit.
There's no need to indoctrinate those who may have no jobs or disposable income in the future.
Was 2010 a particularly active year for earthquakes and/or volcanoes? There was an eruption in Iceland.
If Nightmare Eclipse did disclose these vulnerabilites to MS already (and if MS refused to act on them), one has to wonder if at least one of them was a deliberate backdoor left in their software (notably Bitlocker) for the benefit of the NSA? It's already well-known that the NSA has had backdoors for Bitlocker since its inception years ago.
Bomb them again?
Either he's using the AC to make his unhinged posts, or it's a copycat troll trying to paint him as even more of an extremist than he is already.
Stop it with the bullshit. You'd be making excuses for Iran even if Israel and the US hunted down and killed every member of the IRGC. Iran is fucked. Their proxies are fucked.
