I have a feeling you're not going to want to admit this, but the current administration is actively reversing that policy. Also look into what China is doing economically in Africa and you might be reminded of pre-Gulf War America in t

Everything from that list is from within the last 60 years. While China was murdering between 60 to 100 million of its citizens, America passed the Civil Rights Act.

Not all costs are monetary. The long term ramifications of our businesses cow-towing to mass-murdering authoritarians is far greater than potential profits.

In my experience, if you ever use more than clone, fetch, pull, push, checkout, merge(tool), reset, add, and commit then somebody messed up.

If you've never done a side project, I would definitely recommend the experience. That being said, the people I know who always have to have something software and/or business related on the side are stretched thinner than anyone

Something I like to do to minimize this effect is to forward my calls to a dumphone whenever I don't need the smartphone. My family uses alternative messaging with me while I'm at work and you'd be surprised how people really

> 100 millionaires and billionaires. There are over 500 billionaires. My point being that OP's point comes off as an emotional argument as opposed to a data-based one. Edit: I now understand the OP meant "100-millionairs".

Don't forget masked "protesters" who are actually police infiltrators attempting to turn a protest violent.

We've been seeing nothing but bullshit valuations for years. Twitter was a bullshit valuation. I'm just glad we finally had a sanity check on something .

"Good PR" is also seen as the lack of bad PR. Like when we drop a bomb on a school and kill a bunch of kids. PsyOps are the ones who pay off the village.

No, I was stationed as security for a PsyOps team in Gardez, Afghanistan for four months in 2003.

PsyOps main job is convincing occupied peoples that the occupier is their friend. One of the ways they do that is by taking photos of bags of rice being handed out. They also actively work to spread (dis)information.
