> equitable outcomes

There's your problem right there.

Soviet Russia ought to have shown everyone in Europe how well "equitable outcomes" work out.

You'll never achieve equitable outcomes until you also achieve equitable input. Good luck with that.



Soviet Russia was a wolf in sheep's clothing. I wouldn't say it's such a great counterpoint about why sheeps are so bad.


Well given that the "sheep" keep on appropriating the wolf's symbolism and rhetoric, and get so very personally offended at every last fact about the which could be considered a slight against the wolf doesn't represent them, isn't exactly a good sign for the very pointy-toothed "sheep". It comes across as dishonest disavowal of something fully approved of but they don't want to own up to.


Oh for heaven's sake. You seem to think any sort of policy choice balancing the interests of companies and consumers or maximizing accessibility of technology (like requiring USB-C ports) is Communism. Go poop on your own lawn if that's what you want to do.


No, this is your hang up, not mine.

You cannot have equitable outcomes, ever. Every single time it's ever been tried it's failed, and the reason you can't have them is because the planet is an ever-changing dynamic system.

I do prefer to let the market decide, but the market's pretty much sold on USB-C. Apple wants to dominate everything and everyone - there's your lauded Communism for you, but I'm sure you'll proclaim, "That's not real Communism! I could do it better!" - so they're opposed to USB-C.

Lemme guess, did you type this on an iPhone, or a MacBook? Since we're going to jump to ridiculous conclusions... Why do you hate black children so much? You must hate them... you're using technology that requires minerals that warlords force black children to mine! If you were really a believer in Communism, you'd buy a Fairphone and no laptop at all!

See how ridiculous it sounds when you assume? There's a reason the adage goes, "When you assume, you make an ass out of u and me.
