  1. Re:Capitalism, not Corporatism on Fewer Than Half of Young Americans Are Positive About Capitalism (cnbc.com) · · Score: 0

    But we have corporate fascism not capitalism.

    The big pharma, big healthcare, big insurance price spiral is part of that. We've already lost "our values" in that area, have seen that happen during my over half century life.

    More and more wealth is being siphoned off wealthy, middle and lower class to a very small elite class.

    I'm talking about job that includes working in data center on unix and hyperconverged virtual servers. Ever open one of those babies up? Ever work with barcoded or QR asset tags?

    Never done multifactor authentication with part done smartphone? Required where I work.

    Even for those at my company not in IT, expense reports are done by smartphone including photographing receipts.

    Meetings and room reservations are scheduled by smart phone

    Plenty of use for the smartphone in the adult working world.

    You wouldn't hold job at my employer without one. Plenty of other companies are the same.

    Maybe you don't have a real job?

    sure, carry around a laptop in your back pocket to do these things, , and I'm sure the webcam is adequate for scanning barcodes inside a server, just have to carefully hold thing in position.

    Your mind is the thing that went off on the tangent.

    Yes yes, two those companies along with NAA got us the Saturn V.

    But that's just one more thing on the list that makes the Delta IV not impressive, since they already did bigger rockets decades before. That's my point, it's not as impressive when those old war er defense contractors do something.

    SpaceX is different

    Your hilarious, posting that on *Slashdot*

    Reddit has many worthy "subreddits" for various news, discussions, hobbies.

    Sure, some of them are garbage. It's like a mall with many restaurants, many of them fine but yes there are dumpsters out back for those that want to feed there.

    ULA is a joint venture of Lockheed Martin and Boeing, the usual normal "defense" contractors. Before ULA took over the Delta IV Heavy was developed by McDonald Douglas...

    If we have World War III that ends civilization, it'll be first and foremost their products, the missiles, dishing out the nuclear hell.

    They fix market overvalue, and provide more sane investors proper entry price. They do no wrong, are not doing something immoral. You should instead direct your ire at those that hype stocks beyond their value.
