Maybe they were inspired by Boeing to skip the QA checkups on some of those systems 😉

On that point I’m with you! It’s painfully obvious in today’s wealth disparity in the US.

Where it breaks down for me is your argument that it’s only possible to have a dominating dynamic in a right wing regime. Would you really argue that the CCP does not impose a dominating dynamic over the people of China?

Are you suggesting that there is no production without domination?

They are related (in practice) but I disagree that they’re one “and” the same. Freedom from domination can exist in the left or the right.

Demonizing the views that you don’t hold as inherently opposed to freedom is how the US got to this point in this awful no spectrum of views two party system in the first place.

(By the way, just noticed your username. How’re’ya’now bud?)

I didn’t say that you did?

I respectfully disagree that “the left is concerned with freedom from domination” is “undeniably true”. I think there’s a lot of room for debate here that you’re frankly not interested in.

I agree. In my opinion there are two huge dominating factors.

First is the almost ubiquitous winner-takes-all election structure in the US, leading to the two party system. There is, bar none, no fair competition in US government at a level high enough to matter.

Second, the lack of term limits allows certain people in certain positions to perpetuate momentum. In part this happens by hand picking successors through brute-force out funding the competition (in part due to the economic disparity that others in this thread have mentioned).

I think there’s value in what you’re calling attention to.

“Freedom” vs “domination” though has nothing to do with the left or right of a government (in theory). You’re actually referring to libertarianism vs authoritarianism, which is (again, in theory) independent from economic structure.

If you don’t have a source then you’re about as scientific as a TN politician (apparently)

Cool! Thanks for finding that article. I keep hearing good things about Burlington but wouldn’t know from experience. My understanding is the rest of the state is pretty rural but at least somewhat affordable and small business friendly.

Didn’t Vermont outlaw billboards?

This is a bit of a Pokemon starter question. Just pick one and see where it takes you! They do roughly the same job, especially now that docker has a rootless mode. At the end of the day you’re learning a new technology and that’s a positive thing.

Is mayonnaise an instrument?

Genuine question – how does it “use” that water? Isn’t it primarily utilized for plain old water cooling, where in mind it just evaporates at worst?

What are we going to do, build high speed rail!? A technology so advanced that China alone has enough track in active operation to traverse the US over 13 times as of three years ago? I dunno, seems like a gamble
