Hillary Clinton knows precisely squat about how people make an honest living. She gets paid because her cronies are hedging their bets in case she wins the election.
Public transport is pretty cheap, but it's extremely inconvenient where I live. Any given trip will easily take twice as long on public transport as it takes in a private car.
Maybe if we abolished the government-run gravy trains and just allowed private coaches to take on passengers it would be a different story.
Knowing how to suck up to people who are throwing other people's money around hoping something sticks is a very different skill set from running a business. Ellen Pao was never qualified to run a taco stand, much less a high-traffic web site.
The best thing Reddit could do is can her incompetent ass TODAY, and hire someone qualified to lead them to profitability.
You're right, that is the most likely scenario. I'm sure they'd buy Rahm off with a couple of grand in "campaign contributions" and he'd leave them alone.
This also applies to Chicago businesses that pay to use databases online.
This would be enough to cause the Chicago Mercantile Exchange to relocate to another state. I'm sure that Indiana, Wisconsin, or Michigan would welcome them with open arms.
What happened to the feminist movement is typical for successful reform movements. Once they achieved their reasonable goals (equality before the law), the reasonable people in the movement went on to pursue other goals, leaving the dregs behind. That's why feminism today is lousy with witch-hunting and guilt-peddling.
Two other examples are the civil rights movement (it used to be MLK calling for an end to Jim Crow, today it's Jesse Jackson shaking down large corporations for not meeting racial hiring quotas), and the labor movement (used to be concerned with workplace safety and humane working conditions, now it's just a way for looters to take money from workers to buy hookers and blow for politicians and mobsters.)
Toy manufacturers, like any other business, take their best guess as to what they can sell. If they're right, they make money. If they're wrong, they don't. This doesn't need to be debated or agonized over.

Reliable systems have existed in the past. Windows is so bad, that people think of UNIX as reliable.

The USA built a working molten-salt reactor, which Nixon ordered abandoned because it wasn't useful for plutonium production.
the temperatures, pressures and the levels of radiation that occur in those designs.
It sounds like you're not at all familiar with the design that Sorensen is talking about. It operates at one atmosphere.

He's talking about acceptance by society at large.
Speaking as a member of "society at large", I couldn't care less what anyone else wears to bed.
