It comes down to this simple timeless fact: you can't build your own business on platform owned by a single third-party.
And yet, how many production companies make a nice healthy living selling content to NBC/CBS/TBS/etc? Youtube is not much different from the television industry's setup except they don't make you do a pilot and don't make arbitrary decisions about what people want to see.
Youtubers (which includes Vloggers, ie people who just make video blogs) are running their own companies, so they come under your definition of "real jobs". They're video production companies distributing their product through Youtube, just like traditional production companies distribute through CBS/NBC/FOX/etc.
Pick one that lets you get started quickly and doesn't require you to understand objects etc just to do your first simple program.
Not exactly an easy thing to do without actually trying out a bunch of languages. People can recommend some simple languages but that can be subjective and subject to bias.
Just because SpaceX is "independant" doesn't mean they aren't tied to politics either.
Do SpaceX craft meet safety standards set by the government? Are they allowed in on the contract bid process? Are they even allowed to launch from US soil? Political questions.
Don't think SpaceX's decisions on where to build it's construction plants aren't political either, with states throwing around subsidies for the promise of a few jobs they can announce on the news. Big politics there.
Really, the only political differences between SpaceX and Boeing or Ariane are responsibility. When SpaceX has a ship explode they walk it off, when the others have a ship explode it's years of scrutiny under the political hammer while politicians who are against the program extract a few pounds of flesh.
How about no,exactly because he IS a CEO? He could give two squirts what happens to the rest of the US, as long as Apple's shareholders (including himself) continue to warm their asses with the giant pile of offshored cash Apple has, and the trade policies he wants are what will help Apple, not you.
I'd like to interject, if you're going to be pedantic about it, it would be more appropriate to call it simply Linux, as most distros use a mix of software from many sources, and the GNU bits aren't as important as they once, if ever, were. There is nothing magical or irreplaceable about GNU components and Linus never gave a damn about this ridiculous non-issue, which says a lot about him vs Richard Stallman.
This whole argument got started really because Stallman was a snowflake over people making HIS utilities actually work with a real kernel instead of the sh*tshow that continues to be HURD, and they weren't giving him enough press over it. Insisting on the "GNU" bit also gives a big middle finger to every other contributor to the massive stacks of free software we get to choose from in a distro.
If you're running a corporation you create an office in a country, typically a tropical island, with a government that allows loose, anonymous banking laws. Then, despite 99.9999999% of your corporation and it's operations being in a completely different country you claim that ALL of your profits were made in that tiny little offshore office. Then you pay for Congressmen or Senators to do their best to destroy the tax agency while you laugh and laugh.
Or how about renaming it "standyourground()" with a neat joke that "this function lets you kill anything at any time for any reason whatsoever, even if anyone else would think it's unreasonable, because you're a manly brogrammer".
The problem with biometric data for unlocking your devices or websites is that Governments are starting to argue that they can use your biometrics without your permission, as it's publicly available. An officer can hold your phone up to your face to unlock it that way, and they already have your fingerprints after an arrest, so it's not a huge leap to use that power to make you unlock a device.
Whereas a pin or password requires divulging privileged information and thus requires a warrant, at least in the US, biometric data is on shakier legal grounds.
If the only thing keeping it afloat is cheap, illegal labor, then it needs to change. It's not going to change while it's being propped up with illegal labor. What would they do if Mexico's economy booms and those cheap immigrant workers stayed home?
Those industries will do just fine. The profits will get a little thinner, and the workers will be paid better. If it's absolutely necessary there are ways to legally increase immigration options to pull in more workers.
Who cares what the supplier's costs are? They bid on contracts. If they bid too low that's their problem, not the government's.
Typically short sighted. For one, it's pretty damn inconvenient when your supplier goes bankrupt in the middle of your own production run and you have to scramble to find another supplier. Also, if you know how much what your supplier is selling you costs to manufacture, then you have a better idea if they're overcharging you.
My main critique though, is for instance, software. Most corporations are over licensed on software, just to be safe, and don't even know if the software they've paid for is being utilized to it's full potential.
One thing that always amazes me about public sector organizations is how fundamentally screwed up their billing is. Every Single One. They have no clue of their own costs, their supplier's costs or what they're charging their customers for.
name a SINGLE government agency that is efficient at what it does.
Medicare and Medicaid provide health care coverage at a vastly reduced administrative cost compared to insurance companies, and actually pays their bills on time without dragging their feet to the point your doctor is about to sue you before admitting that yes, you are covered for that procedure.
You know.. there are machines that do nothing more than plug a cord into a port thousands and thousands of times to test the mechanical wear on connections. It's likely the OP just got a bad connector. Random fails do happen, and aren't always indicative of a product wide problem.

Oh I forgot, they'd have to actually do real work.
Words spoken by everyone who's jealous of someone else's job/money.

The Chinese rockets will be excellent. They'll be using someone else's designs.

How the hell do you evade taxes anyway?

This is why the people who HIRE illegal immigrants should go to jail, like the law says. That hasn't happened since Reagan became president however.
Let's see...
Yep, corporations have it so tough in America.. let's give them another tax break to make up for treating them like this eh?
Why should the government interfere with private business transactions! *shakes fist*
There, beat the Libertarians to that comment.

Unless it's the 2nd Amendment, Republican's haven't heard of it.

Don't forget the Post Office is the largest union work force in the US, so screwing the unions is high on the Republican agenda too.
I would have said "different" country. Every country does some things terrible and some things great, because that's just the nature of people.
Considering that most American corporations today tend to be run like lawless robber barons, it isn't surprising.
..It Just Works! So simple a grandmother can use it!
