Do you have a specific example? And "left wing commie" is either vague or painting with overly wide brushes. "Communism" has been so overloaded by many that it lost most its meaning. The economic system and political system can be and are very different things. People often conflate them, diluting meaning.
Those who want more gov't control over economic issues may still prefer a democracy to make political decisions, and those who prefer capitalism may want an oligarchy who controls political decisions. Singapore is arguably an example of such oligarchic capitalism.
If everyone and their dog want to do it, then there's lots of cut-throat competition and employers know they can treat you like crap. My relative found this out in the clothing designer industry.
A common problem with laws like this is it's hard to write legal verbiage precisely enough to have teeth yet not be so specific that it leaves work-arounds and loopholes.
If you use generalizations and leave interpretation to judges and juries, they'll confuse it every which way, often depending on the manipulation prowess of the lawyers involved.
It may do nothing but make lawyers rich and everybody else confused.
They are tied in the Prick Olympics with Boeing for 1st place. Serial f&ckups are pretty much expected by the judges. Wells Fargo was up there also, until they booted their CEO.
The CEO should step down. On top of the crashes, the pay-for-safety thing is squarely on him: he either signs the final order, or if somebody else did it under his nose, he's incompetent for not watching the ship.
On a different note, what would happen if the Max is grounded for several months or years? Are there enough other planes to cover the load, or will rates go way up?
A developer for one of my past organizations, a true rocket scientist, posited it the best: "The network would be great, if it wasn't for all of those users!" Cheers, Ron.
Silly office politics also mucks things up big-time. Dilbert is a documentary. Users are only part of the fuckativity that goes on in IT. I can tell you many stories. Staff who know better go along with bad management decisions to either avoid rocking the boat, or to kiss up to clueless incurious managers. Can I try living with Vulcans for a while? I need a break from screwy humans.
If everyone uses the same "expander" tool(s), then hackers will generate candidate passwords using it, defeating its purpose. In short, that technique doesn't scale.
[Bots have] no self awareness, no consciousness, no personality.
Personality? You need personality to take over the world?
"Hi, I'm Bob the wild and crazy robot. Before I end humanity, I'd like to sing a great tune and tell you some really cool robot jokes. Drinks on me..."
warning labels [are] on everything to tell people not to eat it, not to shove it up their butts, etc. and we still get idiots who eat Tide pods.
Many people are subject to reverse psychology: tell them not to do X, and they'll do X out of their natural reflex.
In my father's bootcamp, the drill sergeant had everybody crawl under a stream of actual bullets, warning everybody clearly that they were real and not rubber bullets. Sure enough, some idiot tested that theory by sticking his arm up and turned his hand into hamburger. I suspect the main goal of that exercise is to weed out idiots.
Maybe if we slap a sticker on bots that says, "Please make this bot take over the world", then the reversed-psychology idiots will leave them alone.

Compatibility, compatibility, compatibility.
So it's double-fucked
unless you click to opt in.
They are a bunch of spacists; all satellites look the same to them.
I suspect it's a click-bait trick. "Humble" will often be mistaken for "Hubble".
If that were true, then one could stand out by producing variety and get bigly rich.

Q: "How the FUCK does this place even stay in business?!"
A: Their competitors are also fucked up.

I have bone spurs, honest!
Most orgs are bleeped up. Dilbert is a documentary. They just managed to avoid the spotlight so far.
They are tied in the Prick Olympics with Boeing for 1st place. Serial f&ckups are pretty much expected by the judges. Wells Fargo was up there also, until they booted their CEO.
They didn't want our celebrities, built a wall, and made Hollywood pay for it.
They added Clippy: "It looks like you are battling an aggressive autopilot. Would you like some help?"

Damn you! Now I can't get that song out of my head

Is that his weight?

You probably won't like the OrangeBot I'm working on.
