  1. Striking is part of the complaint process. Reagan was an ideologue who believed government alone (and not corporate greed) contributed to all the costs being passed down to customers.

  2. It's a very analog way of thinking, back when staff had more authority over much simpler systems.

  3. No, Crowdstrike isn't that fundamental to the overall internet.

  4. The winner-take-all voting system naturally converges on two choices: the one victor, and the collection of all losers. Changing this requires changing the politicians, but they have to slot into one of the two sides until they're able to break down the walls from within.

  5. America’s ATC overworked while what should be our pay raises keep going to shareholders. Thanks Reagan.

  6. But toxic as a policymaker.

  7. That's private sector. Government supervisors actually follow regulations such as allowing workers to take their PTO and not hold it against them in evaluations.

  8. Updates are offered globally, it's the policies at each customer that decides how fast and with which sections to install them.

  9. Corporate-style “cost cutting” for efficiency, which people forget competes against resilience.

  10. Likely centrally managed to adapt to traffic flows throughout the city, which means needing a network security system like Crowdstrike would have a hand in.

  11. ​ @outwithrealitytoo Although even if there's nothing on there, it's still vulnerable to getting hijacked for someone else's cryptomining or DDOS efforts.

  12. Symbols are just a ruse in this region. It's not unheard of for Red Crescent marked ambulances to be caught unloading ammo and promptly struck, but all you'd see from the media is a bombed out ambulance.

  13.  @darylfoster7944 Libertarians believe in government so weak that strongmen actors can acquire and entrench their superior position at the cost of everyone else indefinitely, making anarchy and other radical polity ideas more attractive. Note how violent things got a century ago before labor unions were able to blunt the knife of laissez-faire economics tearing apart American society.

  14. Corporate attitudes to its employees deteriorated the appeal of the "free market" narrative. Going further would only trend us towards the low-tax weak-state libertarian paradise of Subsaharan Africa.

  15. Flexibility on the employee's terms. Not being forced back into the job market due to another round of stock-inflating corporate layoffs.

  16. The "free market" of now entrenched incumbents provided young Americans no substantial property or lifestyle for them to protect. The government is the only other option since the private sector clearly cannot self-regulate.

  17. At least it's a government we can steer through votes and public debate. Unlike say a petro-kingdom where your birthright limits your potential, and you're shamming your way through your job once you hit that ceiling.

  18. So far the hours worked do get paid off. The threat comes if a certain small-state anti-government side gains more power and institutes more "business practices" (i.e. unpaid overtime, manager impunity, unrealistic metrics, etc) into the bureaucracy.

  19. Which only proliferates voting against the right-wing idealists who keep shutting down operations.

  20. There's a reason veterans look back nostalgically on their time in uniform from under the security blanket of their DD-214.
