I don't think it's the outside anti-corruption groups that are causing them to adopt unusual DBMSs and outspend what Facebook invested (over the course of its entire lifetime).
Keynesians don't turn to anti-corruption groups since it slows the aggregate demand. The people who want expanded government are the ones who put this together.
The US staying out provokes Chinese expansion in every scenario. The occupied countries won't like that one bit (see the citizens of China who don't like living there). At that point the global economy suffers from less trading partners, and an aggressor nation is knocking on the US's doorstep.
A lot of nations owe their existence to the fact that the US destroyed the empire that engulfed them and gave them their own government for free. If the US was imperialisitc it would have hung on to Cuba, Mexico, the Phillipines, etc.
This is overlooking the fact that the US could have bullied the entire world into submission after WWII... but didn't. This is the lesson Rome never learned (i.e. a real empire) as it extended into places where it did not have much support (i.e. Persia).
And if it is so coercive in the US, why are so many people spending so much money and time trying to move there?
The only kind of American imperialism is, "Hey, you can buy our TV shows, airliners, and OS's." How do you defend yourself against such imperialism? Simple: don't buy it! Hardly coercive...
In other words, the city should punish Apple more for creating jobs.
50% sales tax is outrageous by the way. Does anybody think the city earns that? What if the state and the feds want 50%? That would be giving 150% back to the government...
Which is why it doesn't waste money any where near the way the government does, and its investiments lead to things people will willingly choose to buy.

The Germans going after their political outcasts is the same thing as the Obama IRS going after people for supporting limited government.
... I would have called this a fringe conspiracy theory.
Now I call it the new normal.
Wow, you really won that won.
Nice!
If the American system is such a failure, why did 80%+ of Americans like their health insurance?
Who are you to tell them they are wrong?
And why are so many people trying to get into this country?
Europe is then spending its deteriorating wealth re-inventing already-usable technology instead of on getting ahead.
Can you say there is zero chance of recovery?
Sure, if you think you know everything.
Which is probably everyone on this forum.
Why not just admit you don't know everything and stop trying to be a monolithic authority?
I also moved to NC for the same reason (Raleigh whoop whoop!).
Having worked with government R&D scientists for 7 years, I can tell you first-hand I'd rather work with hill billies.
But what about the prospect of (other) people working for free?

... also as a disguise for "I'm too indecisive to take a risk on hiring this person".
Existential threat = { anxiety, guilt, despair, facade }
Everything else is just general speculation about a group.

"grander and greater human concepts"
This is like passing out cookbooks to starving people, to paraphrase something Kierkegaard said.
Professorial verbophilia is not going to sovle anyone's woes.
You mean deterence?
You made the claim that this stuff "is purely used to save the producer money".
Are you then conceding it also saves the customers money?
Btw, you shouldn't get to choose for other people what the higher price is.
And if it costs more money to produce it, the consumers don't get charged higher prices?
Is your suggestion that physics is not granular enough to describe the entire universe?
Does their theory explain how their own theory works?
Cause' otherwise its really something else that "works".
Like an opinion or belief or something subjective like that.
The specific heat of metal is much lower compared to water.
Meaning the temperature of the water changes very little as it moves, unlike metal.

Well said. Thanks for posting this!
