What do you wanna bet they pay their programmers like shit, ignore known security issues, and devote zero resources to cleaning up technical debt? If so, serves them right.
Sorry bromeister - your sophist arguments don't fool anyone anymore. The policy you advocate is currently in place, and is an ongoing disastrous failure.
Maybe you're one of the few who has profited handsomely from selling out your countrymen - or maybe you're just their running dog. But for the overwhelming majority of working Americans, your policies have FAILED.
True, "Social Justice" Hypocrites are fanatical zealots. But they do not outnumber other fundamentalist cults. Fortunately for the rest of us it seems the world only produces a limited number of intolerant, violent, bigoted, hypocritical capitalist bootlickers.
The SJHs are however very well-funded - all that bootlicking pays off - very loud, and very very shrill. Moreover, their big money paymasters own all of the semi-official media and many of the so-called alternative media. Therefore SJHs have unparalleled access to mass publicity.
America in the past tried being a major industrial power. The result was a free country with widespread prosperity, an invincible military, and safe streets.
Then we tried deindustrialization. The result, which we see all over today's America, was a police state with widespread poverty, a military increasingly dependent on our geopolitical rivals for its supply chain, and grim dangerous cities.
Why the fuck would anyone avocate doubling down on an obviously, terribly failed public policy like that?
politics and political agendas have sidelined the important mission of rebuilding America's manufacturing base
It appears he is doing exactly what he decries - letting petty sectarian political grandstanding take priority over economic issues.
Or alternatively: maybe he has no interest whatsoever in rebuilding America's manufacturing base, and is using this as a convenient excuse to shirk his civic duty.
Timing is the hard part of shorting the market. It's easy to place a passive bet on the market rising - just buy shares. Alas there's no equivalent method to place a passive short bet.
Yesssssssss! I find Distributism quite appealing. _The Servile State_ was excellent. Currently I'm part way through _The Hound of Distributism_, a collection of recent essays on the topic.
Fwiw, the variant of Communism practiced here in Vietnam has a decidedly Distributist flavor to it. The form of government is pretty standard Soviet-style vaguely Leninist bureaucracy. Plenty of corruption of course. And there's a rapidly growing Capitalist revival, with big wealth becoming unhealthily concentrated. But that doesn't tell the whole story.
After the war and reunification there was redistribution of the land. During the Doi Moi reforms of the 1980s agriculture was de-collectivized and city dwellers were encouraged to start small family businesses.
The result: Lots and lots of small family farms in the countryside. In Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), lots and lots of family owned shophouses with a mom & pop business on the ground floor. Vietnam is still far from a rich country. But I've never seen another city with such widespread prosperity and happy people as there are in HCMC.
Makes me think some form of Distributism might work in America too.
There are places in the world that still have a happy, healthy, non-dysfunctional culture. Particularly in Asia. The culture of the small Communist country where I currently live reminds me in many ways of 1950s America (as depicted by Hollywood).
If you're tired of "Progressive" police state America, consider moving abroad. It's not necessarily easy but it's totally worth it. YMMV, past performance is no guarantee of future returns.
PS: Be sure to avoid Thailand - especially Bangkok, that great whoring sewer of humanity - lest it rot your soul. They also have what must be one of the world's worst forms of government, a combination of military dictatorship and theocratic absolutist monarchy.
A minimum wage that's more than a cruel joke is a good start. But what's really needed is mass unionization. Working people just can't trust Mr Gubmint Man too look out for our interests.
Yup. That's why there are exactly zero white "Social Justice" Hypocrites who grew up poor. SJH is basically a club for rich douchebags who want a socially acceptable excuse to harass and discriminate against their poor and working class brethren.
You know damn well that NEVER happens in the tech industry, and almost never happens anywhere else. Pack up your lies and go back to daddy's mansion, you filthy capitalist running dog.

How much are the Russians paying you to spread hate and terrorist agitation?
So wait... You're advocating for your own speech to be muzzled?

Totalitarian "Progressives" sure do love Capitalism.

Thanks for letting everyone know that you stand on the side of petty partisan politics, and against the economic best interests of your countrymen.

Pretty much all apps - with the exception of a tiny handful of FOSS - are spyware. So is the OS. So are the competing OSes and their apps.
Moral of the story: the Machine is always watching. Think much, speak little, and write nothing down.

That's a reasonable, referenced, and well written opinion piece. But it's no more a work of science than was Mr Damore's original essay.
That's how they came to be in power...

Dude, you can't even form coherent sentences in vernacular English. Do you expect anyone to believe you're a competent programmer? Most unlikely.
Like you!

Hahahahaha! You sound like a member of the Young Republicans club.
Up yours, running dog. ;-)
