the modern western liberal view is to protect all basic freedoms (of speech;of privacy; of representation; of free trade; of presumption of innocence) as long as they belong to the 'correct people'; as for the ideological enemies no right is needed and no tactic used to curtail those same rights is deemed too low or too hypocritical

all those polls where people systematically support their national health services probably used tons of americans to influence the answers; i think you are up to something here


you are not the average us employee; it seems you are completely isolated from the working reality of most americans; including swe


developers are not industrial designers; i would even argue the skillset is at the 'opposite side' of the spectrum


'It’s a funny coincidence that the field where we’re seeing the most innovation happens to be the one we regulated least, and that the fields that got worse are the most regulated ones.'

because the causation is the other way around mostly
