B. They write the laws. For example is illegal for USA politicians to do business with the children of foreign leaders, but it's not illegal for children of USA politicians to do business with foreign leaders.
There's something wrong at the human level here. Systems that protect the worst of the bunch. Doctors lawyers politicians managers
There's something more primal going on here. Maybe we just protect our tribe and some of those we protect are bad, then those outside the tribe find the worst of them to say the whole tribe is bad.
For perspective, the ice sheet is melting at an average rate of 195 km^3/year. It is a total of 2,850,000 km^3.
It will take over 14,000 years for all the ice to melt at that rate.
The rate has increased 16% since the 1970's. Still, I think we'll be okay.
This is the first time I've actually done the math. I feel a lot better now. I doubt we will see any appreciable rise in sea levels during our lifetime.
It'll never happen, because no one cares and we can't do anything about it anyway.
More defeatism.
We should all just roll over and play dead because we are all going to die, no one cares, and there's nothing we can do about it anyway, right?
NO! We all have an effect on everything and every problem is ours to solve.
Even if that means just talking about it. Raising awareness. Creating ideas. Pointing out the flaws in our reasoning and direction. Opportunities for improvement.
The ground based stations could be private products too. Just like cars.
My general point is that the USA needs a free public Internet.
Our politicians have no vision for the future of America. They should have done this. If they want to put up cell towers every where I'm OK with that too.
I see no reason we should let shareholders take excess profit from the American people for doing nothing but negotiating sweetheart deals with the politicians they own.
Shall we add banks and big Pharma to the list?
But seriously I'm not into the capitalist dogma that masks and enables the reality of corporate welfare.
We can give away trillions to the burgeois but merely feeding the proletariat is unamerican?
Same could be said of roads. Toll free. Rush hour sucks. We will adapt. There can still be commercial alternatives, like planes today if you want higher rates of travel.
I see this too and is very frustrating in modern Web learning.
It might take 8 files and 15 dependencies to make one example work. Only 3 files are partially provided. 5 dependencies are deprecated or no longer supported.
The informative websites aren't designed to help you learn, they are designed to help the helper: get views, get cred, get employed, get ad revenue, get an ego boost.
That's right. There is a goal to separate the employer and employee to absolve the proletariat of the moral connection between their actions day-to-day and the bourgeois who all share in the protections of the corporate veil.
But this cannot be done, despite all attempts to quiet the cognitive dissonance. Every employee of an evil company is evil.
Every political message lobbied for by the employer is the employee's political statement. Any claims to the contrary reek of hypocrisy.
Facebook exactly is an evil company. No question about it. To its very core. Anyone who works there is paid money to propagate an evil impact on the world and thus, all employees who work there are evil.
You're assuming the best of the best decide where to work based on compensation. Also consider the number of pro players is miniscule compared to the number of engineers at fb. It's a false analogy because of the law of diminishing returns and population dynamics.
